What is an event bus in AWS?

Accepted Answer

In AWS, an event bus is a resource that is responsible for receiving the events from a given data source and route them according to the specified rules. By default, your account’s event bus receives rules from the AWS services. You can also set up your event bus that receives rules from your custom applications and services. There is also a partner event bus that receives events from a source created by your SaaS partner. The SaaS applications or services generate these events.
