AWS and Grafana Labs are collaborating to enhance cloud native observability, driven by the challenges of monitoring vast amounts of data generated by microservices. Their partnership focuses on integrating AWS's cloud native metrics with Grafana's open-source tools, particularly the Grafana Agent, which is designed to efficiently emit metric workloads into Prometheus-style backends and support OpenTelemetry tracing. This collaboration aims to provide a seamless user experience and facilitate high-volume data collection, with plans to further integrate and improve tools within the cloud native ecosystem. A commitment to open-source collaboration is underscored by their intention to contribute parts of the Grafana Agent codebase to the Prometheus project, fostering easier community collaboration.
