Previously, integrating Prometheus metrics into CloudWatch required deploying OpenTelemetry Collectors manually. With managed collectors, users provide configurations while CloudWatch handles provisioning, scaling, and metric collection automatically across services like Amazon EKS, EC2, ECS, MSK, and OpenSearch.
Collected metrics integrate seamlessly into CloudWatch for visualization, querying with PromQL, and unified alerting. This reduces operational complexity and enhances observability for containerized, serverless, and traditional AWS workloads across multiple regions except New Zealand.
