You can configure EventBridge to send and receive [events](eb-events.md) between Amazon Regions. You can also allow or deny events from specific Regions, specific [rules](eb-rules.md) associated with the event bus, or events from specific sources. For more information, see [Introducing cross-Region event routing with Amazon EventBridge](https://amazonaws-china.com/blogs//compute/introducing-cross-region-event-routing-with-amazon-eventbridge/)
