Amazon CloudWatch now supports OpenTelemetry metrics in public preview

AI Impact Summary

Amazon CloudWatch now supports OpenTelemetry (OTel) metrics in public preview, allowing users to send metrics directly using OTLP without custom conversion. This enables seamless integration with existing AWS services and PromQL queries, simplifying monitoring and alerting for teams running microservices across EKS and on-premises environments. The new Query Studio and anomaly detection capabilities further enhance observability, providing a unified view of application and infrastructure metrics.
