Enabling DevOps Guru on EKS cluster resources

Because of the vast number of abstractions and supporting infrastructure, observability in a container-centric system gives new issues for operators. Hundreds of clusters and thousands of services, tasks, and pods can operate concurrently in many companies. This section will demonstrate new features in Amazon DevOps Guru that will assist in simplifying and increasing the operator's capabilities. Anomalies are grouped by metric and container clusters to increase context and facilitate access, and more Amazon CloudWatch Container Insight metrics are supported.

We will first deploy an EKS cluster using eksctl and then deploy the OpenTelemetry Collector to aggregate all the metrics and provide them to CloudWatch. Then, we will enable DevOps Guru for the EKS cluster resources.

Perform the following steps to enable DevOps Guru on EKS cluster resources:

1. Deploy an EKS cluster using the eksctl command:

   $ eksctl create cluster ...
