   Info
   The CloudFormation template used to implement the integration deploys a lambda function outside of a VPC. If the template is modified to deploy the armor-vpc-flow-lambda-... lambda function in a VPC, the https://1d.log.armor.com:5443 endpoint will need to be made accessible.

4. In the AWS console, in the top menu, on the right side, select the desired region for log collection.
