Today, I’m happy to announce a new capability, Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus collector, to automatically and agentlessly discover and collect Prometheus metrics from Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus collector consists of a scraper that discovers and collects metrics from Amazon EKS applications and infrastructure without needing to run any collectors in-cluster.

This new capability provides fully managed Prometheus-compatible monitoring and alerting with Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus. One of the significant benefits is that the collector is fully managed, automatically right-sized, and scaled for your use case. This means you don’t have to run any compute for collectors to collect the available metrics. This helps you optimize metric collection costs to monitor your applications and infrastructure running on EKS.
