Amazon CloudWatch introduces native OpenTelemetry metrics with PromQL querying and per-GB pricing - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Amazon CloudWatch now lets you ingest metrics via the OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) and query them using Prometheus Query Language (PromQL). You pay per GB ingested, with 15 months of storage included.

Custom OTel metrics and AWS vended metrics from more than 70 services are queryable together in PromQL. CloudWatch provides a Prometheus-compatible query API that works with Grafana and other Prometheus-compatible tools. For Amazon EKS customers, Container Insights with OpenTelemetry provides curated dashboards and metrics enriched with OpenTelemetry semantic conventions. You can enable it from the EKS console or via CloudFormation, CDK, or Helm.

If you're already using CloudWatch Container Insights, you can dual-publish Classic and OTel metrics simultaneously and migrate alarms and dashboards on your own schedule.

Available in all commercial AWS Regions except Middle East (UAE), Middle East (Bahrain), and Israel (Tel Aviv). For pricing details, see the Amazon CloudWatch pricing page. To get started, see the Amazon CloudWatch metrics documentation.
