Improve your EC2 rightsizing recommendations with Datadog and AWS Compute Optimizer

Datadog has partnered with AWS Compute Optimizer to create an integration that improves Amazon Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2) instance recommendations. This integration allows users to get memory-aware EC2 instance recommendations, which helps ensure the best possible performance at an optimal price. By surfacing cloud cost trends alongside performance metrics and usage patterns, Datadog gives users context to track performance across their cloud infrastructure and streamline spend. With this integration, users can unlock additional instance types in their recommendations, giving them insights tailored to their actual usage. Additionally, Datadog APM enables users to monitor provisioning impacts and identify issues caused by incorrectly provisioned resources. The partnership between Datadog and AWS Compute Optimizer helps users get higher quality EC2 instance recommendations with memory utilization data from the Datadog agent, streamlining cloud cost while improving application performance.
