Learners will discover how to use Amazon CloudWatch's new native support for OpenTelemetry metrics ingestion and PromQL querying. The course covers enabling OpenTelemetry ingestion and AWS resource enrichment, deploying Container Insights on Amazon EKS, querying infrastructure and application metrics with PromQL in CloudWatch and Amazon Managed Grafana, and creating custom application metrics with the OpenTelemetry SDK. Participants will learn how to consolidate high-cardinality container, application, and AWS metrics into a single destination -- eliminating the need for separate Prometheus backends and reducing operational overhead.
