Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) for Oracle and Amazon Aurora now support Database Activity Streams in AWS regions Europe (Spain), Middle East (UAE), and Asia Pacific (Hyderabad) . Database Activity Streams provides a near real-time stream of database activities to help meet your relational database for compliance and regulatory requirements. When integrated with third party database activity monitoring tools, Database Activity Streams can monitor and audit database activity to provide safeguards for your database.

Solutions built on top of Database Activity Streams can help protect your database from internal and external threats. The collection, transmission, storage, and processing of database activity are managed outside your database, providing access control independent of your database users and admins. Your database activity is encrypted and pushed to an Amazon Kinesis data stream provisioned on behalf of your RDS for Oracle instance or Aurora cluster.

You can learn more about Database Activity Streams in the Amazon RDS security page and its support for Amazon RDS for Oracle in the documentation and Amazon Aurora in the documentation pages.
