Amazon CloudWatch Network Monitoring adds multi-account support for flow monitors

Amazon CloudWatch Network Monitoring now allows you to monitor network performance of your AWS workloads that span multiple accounts by using flow monitors. Flow monitors provide near real-time visibility of network performance for workloads between compute instances such as Amazon EC2 and Amazon EKS, and AWS services such as Amazon S3, Amazon RDS, and Amazon DynamoDB, enabling you to rapidly detect and attribute network-driven impairments for your workloads. By integrating with AWS Organizations, flow monitors now allow you to monitor network performance of your AWS workloads that span multiple accounts.

Multi-account support enables a unified onboarding experience so that you as a network administrator can enable flow monitors across all accounts that own the different resources that need to be monitored. As a result, you get visibility of network paths for workloads that cross multiple accounts. With multi-account support for flow monitors, you also get a unified view of network performance metrics for flows that span multiple accounts.
