How can the cloudwatch agent associate an AWS key with multiple AWS keys configured in different regions?

Question

My Ubuntu instance is in the us-east-1 region, but I want to upload the logs to cloudwatch logs in us-gov-west-1. The AMI of the default aws key is in the us-east-1 region. What should I do? Configure the AWS key to upload logs to the gov region.
Currently, I have configured multiple AWS credentials. There are instances in the same region and gov region. Because I need to run cloud deploy-agent, the default AWS credentials must be configured to be related to us-east-1. Is there any way to deploy in this region? Are both agent and uploading logs to the gov area normal AWS credential configuration solutions?

Accepted Answer

Hello.

There is a setting value called "shared_credential_profile=" in the file "/opt/aws/amazon-cloudwatch-agent/etc/common-config.toml".  
I thought that if I set up a credential profile with "us-gov-west-1" set with this setting value, I could output logs to another region.
