Managed services for Prometheus and Grafana: Scale without the overhead
Blog post from New Relic
Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced the general availability of Amazon Managed Service for Grafana (AMG) and the preview of Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus (AMP), both designed to facilitate infrastructure monitoring and visualization without the operational burdens of management. These services complement New Relic's previous integration of Prometheus and Grafana into their Telemetry Data Platform, allowing users to leverage pre-built Grafana dashboards and built-in metrics instrumentation on a scalable, fully-managed platform. New Relic's platform enables the consolidation of metric data from Prometheus servers with other observability data, enhancing troubleshooting capabilities through powerful AIOps features. AMP and AMG are particularly beneficial for users seeking to offload the management and scaling of Prometheus and Grafana, offering automated scaling and integration with AWS security services for AMP, and the ability to utilize Grafana’s open-source visualization features without the need for server provisioning or software updates for AMG. Both AWS and New Relic customers can benefit from these services, especially when integrating New Relic as a Prometheus data source to achieve a comprehensive observability across their infrastructures.
