AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry sends metrics and traces to Datadog

Datadog is committed to open standards and supports AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry's public preview. This collaboration allows customers to send metrics and traces to any supported monitoring backend, including Datadog. The partnership helps users improve their monitoring workflows regardless of their architectures. AWS Distro extends the CNCF OpenTelemetry project by collecting metadata from AWS resources and trace data from AWS SDK and AWS X-Ray. It is carefully optimized, secured, and tested to ensure performance and stability. Users can configure AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry to send data to Datadog by adding a datadog exporter to their configuration YAML file along with their Datadog API key. This collaboration strengthens the open standards movement and enhances data portability for users.
