Amazon EC2, a foundational service in the AWS ecosystem, has been pivotal in popularizing cloud computing, but monitoring its diverse range of instances can be challenging. Grafana Cloud introduces a new EC2 monitoring solution, designed for simplicity and efficiency, without the need for managing local agents. This solution, leveraging Grafana Scenes, offers a streamlined experience by focusing on essential metrics, enabling users to view large numbers of instances across accounts and regions, filter based on specific criteria like AWS account ID or region, and quickly identify instances that need attention. Users can drill down to instance-level detail to diagnose issues and monitor resource scaling by region or tag, with an emphasis on optimizing resources and reducing costs. To access this functionality, users need to configure the AWS integration via Grafana Cloud, using either automatic or manual methods for setting up IAM roles. The platform provides out-of-the-box dashboards for a comprehensive overview, promoting a consistent experience across various data sources, and is available on a generous forever-free tier.
