Overview
S4 Metrics governs CloudWatch custom-metric cardinality at the ingest edge - drop high-cardinality dimensions, bucket numeric ones, and aggregate windows BEFORE PutMetricData, so you pay for the series you need instead of an unbounded explosion. The open-source metricsd collector (StatsD/DogStatsD + OTLP/EMF/PutMetricData intake) does the governing and emits to CloudWatch plus an optional full-resolution S3/Prometheus tee. The commercial layer adds auto-baseline (rank your costliest dimensions and propose a rule set priced against live ListMetrics), an AWS Organizations consolidated rollup that READS each member account cardinality through a read-only cross-account role, and a savings dashboard. Read-only by design across accounts: the org role grants ONLY cloudwatch:ListMetrics - never metric values, never writes.
Highlights
- Cardinality governance at ingest: drop/bucket/aggregate before PutMetricData
- Auto-baseline ranks your costliest dimensions and proposes a priced rule set
- AWS Organizations consolidated rollup via a READ-ONLY (ListMetrics-only) cross-account role

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Usage instructions
Launch via deploy/cloudformation/s4metrics-quickstart.yaml (creates the least-privilege instance role + security group and runs the collector + the dashboard). Dashboard on port 8088 with the S4METRICS_WEB_TOKEN bearer token. For AWS Organizations cardinality rollup, deploy s4metrics-org-stackset.yaml across member accounts to create the read-only S4MetricsBaselineRole.
