Amazon EKS on Fargate simplifies Kubernetes management by abstracting infrastructure but poses challenges for log collection due to its serverless nature that restricts host-level access. Traditionally, collecting logs from Fargate environments involved using third-party services like Fluent Bit and AWS CloudWatch, which added complexity and cost. Datadog now offers a Kubernetes-native logging method that allows logs to be collected directly by the Datadog Agent, deployed as a sidecar container within application pods. This method bypasses the need for additional infrastructure and configuration, reducing costs and complexity while enhancing log collection with complete Kubernetes metadata for better monitoring. The new approach leverages Datadog's Autodiscovery features to maintain consistent log configurations across environments and provides a more streamlined setup process, allowing users to collect EKS Fargate logs efficiently and with richer contextual information.
