# PutDeliveryDestination
<a name="API_PutDeliveryDestination"></a>

Creates or updates a logical *delivery destination*. A delivery destination is an AWS resource that represents an AWS service that logs can be sent to. CloudWatch Logs, Amazon S3, and Firehose are supported as logs delivery destinations and X-Ray as the trace delivery destination.

To configure logs delivery between a supported AWS service and a destination, you must do the following:
+ Create a delivery source, which is a logical object that represents the resource that is actually sending the logs. For more information, see [PutDeliverySource](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatchLogs/latest/APIReference/API_PutDeliverySource.html).
+ Use `PutDeliveryDestination` to create a *delivery destination* in the same account of the actual delivery destination. The delivery destination that you create is a logical object that represents the actual delivery destination. 
+ If you are delivering logs cross-account, you must use [PutDeliveryDestinationPolicy](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatchLogs/latest/APIReference/API_PutDeliveryDestinationPolicy.html) in the destination account to assign an IAM policy to the destination. This policy allows delivery to that destination. 
+ Use `CreateDelivery` to create a *delivery* by pairing exactly one delivery source and one delivery destination. For more information, see [CreateDelivery](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatchLogs/latest/APIReference/API_CreateDelivery.html). 

You can configure a single delivery source to send logs to multiple destinations by creating multiple deliveries. You can also create multiple deliveries to configure multiple delivery sources to send logs to the same delivery destination.

Only some AWS services support being configured as a delivery source. These services are listed as **Supported [V2 Permissions]** in the table at [Enabling logging from AWS services.](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/logs/AWS-logs-and-resource-policy.html) 

If you use this operation to update an existing delivery destination, all the current delivery destination parameters are overwritten with the new parameter values that you specify.
