What’s new with observability at AWS?
summary
Amazon now offers serverless Prometheus (AMP) with RemoteWrite and query endpoints so existing Prometheus clients can ingest metrics without cluster sizing and pay per metric, plus Managed Grafana that auto-adds AWS data sources (CloudWatch, X‑Ray, AMP) and uses AWS SSO/IAM for access. AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry forwards traces to X‑Ray or Prometheus, is upstream-first and supported by AWS Support. CloudWatch adds Metric Explorer for tag-based slicing, Lambda Insights, Synthetics with Chrome recorder and Selenium/Puppeteer, and X‑Ray Insights for anomaly-driven root cause.
