Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus launches an agentless collector for Prometheus metrics from Amazon EKS

We are excited to announce Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus collector, a fully-managed agentless collector customers can use to collect Prometheus metrics from their workloads running on Amazon EKS. Customers can now enable the discovery and collection of Prometheus metrics from their Amazon EKS applications and infrastructure through the EKS console or through an API call, without having to self-manage agents.

Customers currently invest days, if not weeks, of effort to monitor, right-size, and operate Prometheus agents. Now with Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus collector, customers can automatically discover and collect Prometheus metrics from their Amazon EKS applications, infrastructure, and the Kubernetes apiserver without having to install any agents in their cluster. The fully-managed collector removes the “undifferentiated heavy lifting” of installing, patching, scaling, and upgrading agents for the discovery and collection of Prometheus metrics. The collector provides customers with a multi-AZ, highly available, reliable, and fully-managed service for collecting Prometheus metrics without any data ever leaving secure VPCs.

To get started, customers can utilize the Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus APIs, SDK, CLI and the Amazon EKS console to create fully-managed collectors. Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus collector is available in all regions where Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus is available.
