AWS Health

AWS Health is a source of news for you from AWS’s side. When an AWS service has a problem or there is planned maintenance, it tells you which of your resources may be affected. This news is called a Health event, and you can see it in the AWS Health Dashboard in the console. Health events reach EventBridge, so you can use them to run automatic actions or notifications. This makes it easier to understand whether a problem is in your app or on AWS’s side.
