Sysdig Extends Prometheus Monitoring to Amazon CloudWatch
Summary
The goal is to help developers save time when connecting Prometheus monitoring for visibility across cloud infrastructure and AWS managed services. The company ended up contributing improvements to an already created open source exporter for Amazon CloudWatch to enhance its readiness for scale and production use. Key improvements focused on stability, security, and optimizing the API calls to reduce the costs of Amazon CloudWatch metrics usage. Sysdig continues to work in step with AWS and the cloud-native market to make the process of instrumenting containers and Kubernetes more accessible with support for Prometheus monitoring. “The new Prometheus integrations will make it easier to monitor our solution running on AWS.” “AWS is a trusted cloud provider for companies operating containers and Kubernetes,” said Suresh Vasudevan, chief executive officer, Sysdig.
