|
11 |
| -AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry is a secure, production-ready, AWS-supported |
12 |
| -distribution of the OpenTelemetry project. Part of the Cloud Native Computing |
13 |
| -Foundation, OpenTelemetry provides open source APIs, libraries, and agents to |
14 |
| -collect distributed traces and metrics for application monitoring. |
| 13 | +AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry (ADOT) is a secure, production-ready, AWS-supported |
| 14 | +distribution of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) |
| 15 | +[OpenTelemetry](https://opentelemetry.io/docs/) project. OpenTelemetry (OTel) |
| 16 | +provides open source APIs, libraries, and agents to collect distributed traces, |
| 17 | +metrics, and logs for application monitoring. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +With ADOT, you can instrument your applications once and send |
| 20 | +correlated metrics and traces to one or more observability backends |
| 21 | +such as Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus, Amazon CloudWatch, AWS X-Ray, |
| 22 | +Amazon Open Search, any OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) compliant backend, |
| 23 | +as well as Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (MSK): |

| -With AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry, you can instrument your applications just once to send |
17 |
| -correlated metrics and traces to multiple monitoring solutions. Use auto-instrumentation agents to collect |
18 |
| -traces without changing your code. AWS Distro |
19 |
| -for OpenTelemetry also collects metadata from your AWS resources and |

| 26 | +<p style="text-align: center;"><i>The ADOT collector</i></p> |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +Further, you can use auto-instrumentation to generate traces without changing |
| 29 | +your code. ADOT also collects metadata from your AWS resources and |
20 | 30 | managed services, so you can correlate application performance data with
|
21 | 31 | underlying infrastructure data, reducing the mean time to problem resolution.
|
22 | 32 |
|
23 |
| -Use AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry to instrument your applications running on AWS |
24 |
| -App Runner, AWS Lambda, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), Amazon Elastic Container |
25 |
| -Service (ECS), and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) on EC2, and AWS Fargate, |
26 |
| -as well as on-premises. |
| 33 | +Use ADOT to instrument your applications running on AWS App Runner, AWS Lambda, |
| 34 | +Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS), and |
| 35 | +Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) on EC2, and AWS Fargate, as well as |
| 36 | +in your datacenter, on-premises. |

28 | 38 | ### Features
|
29 |
| -* **Instrument your applications** just once to send correlated metrics and traces to multiple monitoring solutions and |
30 |
| -use auto-instrumentation agents to collect traces without changing your code. |
31 |
| -* **Collect metadata** from your AWS resources and managed services, so you can correlate application performance data |
32 |
| -with underlying infrastructure data, reducing the mean time to problem resolution. |
33 |
| -* Use AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry to **observe your applications** running on AWS App Runner, AWS Lambda, Amazon Elastic |
34 |
| -Compute Cloud (EC2), Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS), and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) on EC2, and AWS |
35 |
| -Fargate, as well as on-premises. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +* **Instrument your applications** once to send correlated metrics and traces |
| 41 | +to multiple monitoring solutions and use auto-instrumentation agents to collect |
| 42 | +traces without changing your code. Note that [logs support in ADOT is currently |
| 43 | +in preview](https://aws-otel.github.io/docs/ReleaseBlogs/aws-distro-for-opentelemetry-collector-v0.34.0). |
| 44 | +* **Collect metadata** from your AWS resources and managed services, so you |
| 45 | +can correlate application performance data with underlying infrastructure data, |
| 46 | +reducing the mean time to problem resolution. |
| 47 | +* Enables you to **observe your applications** running on AWS App Runner, |
| 48 | +AWS Lambda, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), Amazon Elastic Container |
| 49 | +Service (ECS), and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) on EC2, and AWS |
| 50 | +Fargate, as well as in hybrid cloud and on-prem settings. |
