Monitor Amazon EKS Distro with Datadog

Kubernetes has emerged as the standard for container orchestration, and Amazon EKS Distro (EKS-D) allows users to run on-premise clusters using the same tested versions and security features as Amazon EKS. This compatibility ensures a seamless migration of applications and provides users with control over their infrastructure while benefiting from the reliability of a maintained and tested Kubernetes distribution. Datadog partners with AWS to enhance visibility into EKS-D through integrations with technologies like containerd, Istio, and CoreDNS, enabling users to monitor clusters on-premise or in the cloud. Datadog's monitoring tools offer insights into the health and performance of Kubernetes clusters by collecting metrics, events, and logs from various components, including the control plane and worker nodes. These capabilities allow users to troubleshoot issues quickly and gain comprehensive visibility into their stack, with automatic discovery and configuration of integrations as clusters evolve.
