**Note**  
Metrics for Amazon EKS clusters in af-south-1, Africa (Cape Town) and ap-east-1, Asia Pacific (Hong Kong) are exported to the AMS monitoring service in the same AWS Region, respectively. Metrics for these AWS Regions are then transported within the AMS monitoring service to different Regions where they are processed and stored. See the preceding table for Regions that the AMS monitoring service uses to store metrics.
