This course was developed by members of AWS Technical Field Communities (TFC), an AWS community of technical experts. The content is intended to complement our standard training curriculum and augment your AWS learning journey. We are aware some courses have accessibility limitations and are working to address. If you require accommodation, please contact AWS Training and Certification Customer Support.
Learners will gain practical skills for tracking AI coding agent usage -- specifically Claude Code -- by shipping OpenTelemetry metrics directly to Amazon CloudWatch using bearer token authentication. The course covers end-to-end setup requiring no collectors or sidecars, enabling per-developer cost attribution, team-level usage analytics, and operational alerting queryable with PromQL. Participants will understand how bearer tokens work for tools running outside AWS, learn security considerations for long-term credentials, and discover how to answer critical questions about token consumption and cost that existing dashboards cannot address.
