Eventbridge (creation & deletion resources)

Question

whenever a resources is created or deleted it will invoke my lambda.
using event bridge.
Q1. Is it possible to create an event bridge rule without creating a cloud trail as it will incur some cost for multiple resources. 
Q2. is it possible to invoke these services (Global accelerator, athena) using eventbridge as on this url it is not showing me these services.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eventbridge/latest/userguide/eb-service-event-list.html

**my Eventbridge rule is:**
{
  "source": ["aws.lambda", "aws.events", "aws.cloudfront", "aws.s3", "aws.ec2", "aws.sns", "aws.sqs", "aws.secretsmanager", "aws.cloudformation", "aws.codepipeline", "aws.apigateway", "aws.cloudtrail", "aws.cognito-idp", "aws.config", "aws.ds", "aws.cloudtrail", "aws.elasticloadbalancing", "aws.pinpoint", "aws.vpc", "aws.waf", "aws.workspaces", "aws.ses", "aws.ssm", "aws.states", "aws.globalaccelerator", "aws.amplify", "aws.kinesis", "aws.kms", "aws.dynamodb", "aws.athena", "aws.acm"],
  "detail-type": ["AWS API Call via CloudTrail"],
  "detail": {
    "eventName": ["CreateFunction20150331", "DeleteFunction20150331", "CreateBucket", "PutRule", "DeleteRule", "AllocateAddress", "ReleaseAddress", "CreateDistribution", "DeleteDistribution", "ImportApi", "DeleteBucket", "CreateApi", "DeleteApi", "CreateRestApi", "DeleteRestApi", "RunInstances", "TerminateInstances", "CreateSecret", "DeleteSecret", "CreateSecurityGroup", "DeleteSecurityGroup", "CreateTopic", "DeleteTopic", "CreateQueue", "DeleteQueue", "CreateSubnet", "DeleteSubnet", "CreateStack", "DeleteStack", "CreatePipeline", "DeletePipeline", "StartLogging", "CreateTrail", "DeleteTrail", "DeleteUserPool", "CreateUserPool", "PutConfigRule", "DeleteConfigRule", "CreateDirectory", "CreateMicrosoftAD", "DeleteDirectory", "CreateLoadBalancer", "DeleteLoadBalancer", "CreateTargetGroup", "DeleteTargetGroup", "CreateVolume", "DeleteVolume", "CreateVpc", "DeleteVpc", "CreateApp", "DeleteApp", "CreateWebACL", "DeleteWebACL", "CreateWorkspace", "DeleteWorkspace", "CreateEmailIdentity", "DeleteEmailIdentity", "CreateSnapshot", "DeleteSnapshot", "CreateStateMachine", "DeleteStateMachine", "CreateAccelerator", "DeleteAccelerator", "CreateApp", "DeleteApp", "CreateDeliveryStream", "DeleteDeliveryStream", "CreateKey", "DeleteKey", "CreateTable", "DeleteTable", "CreateNamedQuery", "DeleteNamedQuery", "RequestCertificate", "DeleteCertificate"]

Hello,

AWS EventBridge can record some AWS service events natively, eliminating the requirement for CloudTrail. However, the range of services and events available may be limited. For example, EventBridge can collect EC2 instance state changes or S3 bucket actions.

If the specific events you need (e.g., resource creation/deletion for all services) are not supported natively by EventBridge, you would need to use CloudTrail to capture these events.

Global accelerator can't send events to Event bridge, you would have to use Cloud trail logs to capture the events and Athena can emit events to Event bridge only for query state change natively.

Q1. Is it possible to create an event bridge rule without creating a cloud trail as it will incur some cost for multiple resources.

- Yes, it is possible

Q2. is it possible to invoke these services (Global accelerator, athena) using eventbridge as on this url it is not showing me these services.

- even if some services can not be called directly, you can invoke a Lambda function, which will do whatever you want
