Set up and configure Prometheus metrics collection on Amazon EKS and Kubernetes clusters

To collect Prometheus metrics from clusters running Amazon EKS or Kubernetes, you can use the CloudWatch agent as a collector or use the Amazon Distro for OpenTelemetry collector. For information about using the Amazon Distro for OpenTelemetry collector, see https://aws-otel.github.io/docs/getting-started/container-insights/eks-prometheus.

The following sections explain how to collect Prometheus metrics using the CloudWatch agent. They explain how to install the CloudWatch agent with Prometheus monitoring on clusters running Amazon EKS or Kubernetes, and how to configure the agent to scrape additional targets. They also provide optional tutorials for setting up sample workloads to use for testing with Prometheus monitoring.
