Monitor Amazon EKS on AWS Fargate with Datadog

AWS Fargate enables users to run containerized applications without managing infrastructure, and it is widely used within AWS for serverless containers, particularly with Amazon EKS. Datadog integrates with Amazon EKS on AWS Fargate to provide automatic metric collection and deep visibility into environments, employing features like Autodiscovery and APM to monitor application performance in real time. To deploy Datadog on Amazon EKS with AWS Fargate, users run the Datadog Agent as a sidecar container in each pod, utilizing role-based access control and Datadog's Helm chart for setup. This integration ensures end-to-end visibility without modifying application code, and allows for advanced configuration to control which pods receive the Agent sidecar injection. While AWS Fargate abstracts away host-level metrics, Datadog can still collect Kubernetes metrics and integrate with other AWS services for comprehensive monitoring.
