+summary: "Extended support for four new AWS regions in Infrastructre monitoring in AWS API Polling and AWS Cloud Watch Metric Streams integrations."
+releaseDate: "2025-10-03"
+---
+
+We are excited to announce the expansion of our AWS infrastructure monitoring capabilities. Support for both our **API Polling** and **AWS Cloud Watch Metric Streams** integrations has been extended to include four new AWS regions. This update allows you to gain complete visibility into your AWS services across an even wider geographical footprint, ensuring you have a comprehensive view of your entire infrastructure.
+
+## What's Changed
+
+You can now monitor resources in four additional AWS regions, closing potential gaps in your observability strategy. By enabling these new regions in your integration settings, you can seamlessly pull metrics, tags and metadata into your dashboards, alerts, and analysis tools.
+
+This enhancement provides several key benefits:
+
+1.  **Eliminate blind spots**
+    * Gain full visibility into your applications and services deployed in the newly supported regions. Ensure consistent monitoring coverage across your entire global AWS deployment.
+2.  **Unified observability**
+    * Integrate data from these new regions into a single, unified platform. View, query, and alert on performance metrics from all your environments without needing to switch between different tools or contexts.
+
+The newly supported regions are detailed below:
