# CreateDelivery
<a name="API_CreateDelivery"></a>

Creates a *delivery*. A delivery is a connection between a logical *delivery source* and a logical *delivery destination* that you have already created.

Only some AWS services support being configured as a delivery source using this operation. 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) 

A delivery destination can represent a log group in CloudWatch Logs, an Amazon S3 bucket, a delivery stream in Firehose, or X-Ray.

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).
+ Create a *delivery destination*, which is a logical object that represents the actual delivery destination. For more information, see [PutDeliveryDestination](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatchLogs/latest/APIReference/API_PutDeliveryDestination.html).
+ 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. 

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.

To update an existing delivery configuration, use [UpdateDeliveryConfiguration](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatchLogs/latest/APIReference/API_UpdateDeliveryConfiguration.html).
