AWS News - 2026-04-16

Today, AWS announces multi-session support for Amazon Quick, which enables customers to access up to five Amazon Quick accounts simultaneously within the same browser. The feature also includes the Amazon Quick account name in all URLs, enabling users to easily access the correct account when opening agents, spaces, flows, research reports, dashboards, and other assets.

Customers use multiple accounts for different environments such as development, testing, and production, and compare insights and resource configurations across multiple accounts for troubleshooting and other application-related jobs. Using multi-session capability in Amazon Quick, customers can now sign in to multiple accounts and manage their resources in a single browser. You can sign in to another account by accessing the Amazon Quick top right menu and selecting the option to sign in to another account. For users accessing global URLs without an account name, Amazon Quick presents an account input page that pre-populates the accounts they are logged into, allowing them to select the desired account. You have the option to log out of the current session in the specific browser tab or log out of all sessions.

Amazon Quick multi-account sign-in is available in all supported Amazon Quick regions.

Amazon CloudWatch now supports auditing telemetry configuration and enabling telemetry from AWS services such as Amazon EC2, Amazon VPC, and AWS CloudTrail across multiple AWS Regions from a single region. Customers can enable the telemetry auditing feature for their account or organization across all supported regions at once and create enablement rules that automatically apply to selected regions or all available regions.

With today's launch, customers can scope enablement rules to specific regions or all supported regions. For example, a central security team can create a single organization-wide enablement rule for VPC Flow Logs that applies across all regions, ensuring consistent telemetry collection for every VPC across every account. Rules configured for all regions automatically expand to include new regions as they become available.

CloudWatch's cross-region telemetry configuration and enablement rule is available in all AWS commercial regions. Standard CloudWatch pricing applies for telemetry ingestion. To learn more, visit the Amazon CloudWatch documentation.

Amazon CloudWatch RUM (Real User Monitoring) is a feature of Amazon CloudWatch that enables developers and operations teams to collect, view, and analyze client-side performance data from real end-user sessions in web and mobile applications. With its expansion to the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, customers operating under strict European data residency and sovereignty requirements can now monitor their web application performance without data leaving the sovereign boundary. This capability is designed for enterprises, public sector organizations, and regulated industries in Europe that require full control over where their data is stored and processed.

CloudWatch RUM helps teams proactively identify and resolve performance bottlenecks across both web and mobile applications by surfacing real-time metrics such as page load times, JavaScript errors, HTTP failures, and mobile-specific signals like crash rates and network latency — enabling faster root cause analysis and improved end-user experience. For example, a European public sector organization can use CloudWatch RUM within the AWS European Sovereign Cloud to monitor citizen-facing web portals and mobile apps while maintaining full data sovereignty compliance.

CloudWatch RUM in the AWS European Sovereign Cloud is available today in the EU Sovereign (eusc-de-east-1) region — to get started, visit the Amazon CloudWatch RUM documentation.
