# EventBridge Connection

An EventBridge Connection in AWS is a resource that stores authentication and authorization details for securely integrating EventBridge with external API destinations. It allows you to define credentials, such as API keys or OAuth tokens, so EventBridge can reliably send events to third-party services or custom applications without embedding sensitive information directly in event rules.

aws.eventbridge_connection
