Overview

This document describes how customers can configure and use Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus (AMP) to store and query critical operational metrics from their Kubernetes clusters. AMP provides a number of key benefits that allow organizations to offload undifferentiated heavy lifting to AWS

• AMP automatically scales with the customer's needs
• Customers do not have to operate and manage complex time series database infrastructure
• AMP is seamlessly integrated with AWS's Security Services i.e. all queries sent to the service are authorized by AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM).
• Prometheus-compatible monitoring and alerting service

What Will You Do

In this multi-part recipe, you will perform the following:

Part 1

• Provision an Amazon EKS Cluster

Part 2

• Create an AMP workspace in a supported AWS region
• Create an IAM Role for Service Accounts (IRSA) to perform writes and reads to the AMP service
• Create a custom cluster blueprint with a Prometheus server (addon) to the EKS cluster. You will configure the addon so that it can perform remote writes to your AMP workspace
• Apply updated cluster blueprint on your EKS Cluster

Part 3

• Deploy Grafana to access and visualize the long term metrics stored in AMP

Assumptions

• You have an AWS account with sufficient privileges to provision an EKS cluster using the Controller and create an AMP workspace
• You have access to an Org with a role to provision clusters and deploy workloads.
