  • S3 Event Notifications now include system-generated tags

    Amazon S3 Event Notifications now deliver system-generated tags to all destinations, including Amazon EventBridge, Amazon SQS, Amazon SNS, and AWS Lambda. These tags are metadata labels attached to buckets by AWS services. This allows for filtering events from numerous buckets with a single EventBridge rule, eliminating the need to list each bucket name individually.
