In December 2020, AWS announced AWS Managed Service for Grafana (AMG), a fully managed service that is developed together with Grafana Labs and based on open source Grafana. Enhanced with enterprise capabilities, AMG makes it easier to visualize and analyze operational data at scale. In the blog post Amazon Managed Service for Grafana – Getting […]

In this post, AWS intern engineers Azfaar Qureshi and Shovnik Bhattacharya talk about their experience building the OpenTelemetry Prometheus Remote Write Exporter for Python. They share their experiences in tackling challenges they faced while building this tool, which is used for sending metrics to Prometheus protocol-based service endpoints. As software deployments become increasingly more complex, […]

We recently announced Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus (AMP) that allows you to create a fully managed, secure, Prometheus-compatible environment to ingest, query, and store Prometheus metrics. In a previous blog post from the AWS Management & Governance Blog, we explained how you could set up the service to monitor containerized environments. For some critical […]

Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus (AMP) is a Prometheus-compatible monitoring service for container infrastructure and application metrics that makes it easy for customers to securely monitor container environments at scale.

Cloud Custodian is an open source, cloud security, governance, and management tool that enables users to keep their Amazon Web Services (AWS) environment secure and well managed by defining policies in a YAML domain specific language (DSL). Cloud Custodian works by defining policies in a YAML file and running the defined policies against AWS accounts. […]

The recently launched Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus (AMP) service provides a highly available and secure environment to ingest, query, and store Prometheus metrics. We can query the metrics from the AMP environment using Amazon Managed Service for Grafana (AMG), a self-hosted Grafana server, or using the HTTP APIs. In this article, we will look […]

In the context of containerized microservices, we face the challenge of being able to tell where along the request path things happen and efficiently drill into signals and logs. As a developer, you don’t want to fly blind and one popular way to provide these insights is distributed tracing. In this post we walk through […]
