AWS Observability Accelerator for Terraform
Welcome to the AWS Observability Accelerator for Terraform!
The AWS Observability accelerator for Terraform is a set of modules to help you configure Observability for your Amazon EKS clusters with AWS Observability services. This project proposes a core module to bootstrap your cluster with the AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry (ADOT) Operator for EKS, Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus, Amazon Managed Grafana. Additionally we have a set of workloads modules to leverage curated ADOT collector configurations, Grafana dashboards, Prometheus recording rules and alerts.

Getting started
To quickstart with a complete workflow and view Amazon EKS infrastructure dashboards, visit the Amazon EKS cluster monitoring documentation
How it works
The sections below demonstrate how you can leverage AWS Observability Accelerator to enable monitoring to an existing EKS cluster.
Base Module
The base module allows you to configure the AWS Observability services for your cluster and the AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry (ADOT) Operator as the signals collection mechanism.
This is the minimum configuration to have a new Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus Workspace and ADOT Operator deployed for you and ready to receive your data. The base module serve as an anchor to the workload modules and cannot run on its own.
module "eks_observability_accelerator" {
# use release tags and check for the latest versions
# https://github.com/aws-observability/terraform-aws-observability-accelerator/releases
source = "github.com/aws-observability/terraform-aws-observability-accelerator?ref=v1.6.1"
aws_region = "eu-west-1"
eks_cluster_id = "my-eks-cluster"
# As Grafana shares a different lifecycle, it's best to use an existing workspace.
managed_grafana_workspace_id = var.managed_grafana_workspace_id
grafana_api_key = var.grafana_api_key
}
You can optionally reuse an existing Amazon Managed Servce for Prometheus Workspace:
module "eks_observability_accelerator" {
# use release tags and check for the latest versions
# https://github.com/aws-observability/terraform-aws-observability-accelerator/releases
source = "github.com/aws-observability/terraform-aws-observability-accelerator?ref=v1.6.1"
aws_region = "eu-west-1"
eks_cluster_id = "my-eks-cluster"
# prevents creation of a new Amazon Managed Prometheus workspace
enable_managed_prometheus = false
# reusing existing Amazon Managed Prometheus Workspace
managed_prometheus_workspace_id = "ws-abcd123..."
managed_grafana_workspace_id = "g-abcdef123"
grafana_api_key = var.grafana_api_key
}
View all the configuration options in the module documentation below.
Workload modules
Workloads modules are provided, which essentially provide curated metrics collection, alerting rule and Grafana dashboards.
Infrastructure monitoring
module "workloads_infra" {
source = "aws-observability/terraform-aws-observability-accelerator/workloads/infra"
eks_cluster_id = module.eks_observability_accelerator.eks_cluster_id
dashboards_folder_id = module.eks_observability_accelerator.grafana_dashboards_folder_id
managed_prometheus_workspace_id = module.eks_observability_accelerator.managed_prometheus_workspace_id
managed_prometheus_workspace_endpoint = module.eks_observability_accelerator.managed_prometheus_workspace_endpoint
managed_prometheus_workspace_region = module.eks_observability_accelerator.managed_prometheus_workspace_region
}

Motivation
Kubernetes is a powerful and extensible container orchestration technology that allows you to deploy and manage containerized applications at scale. The extensible nature of Kubernetes also allows you to use a wide range of popular open-source tools, commonly referred to as add-ons, in Kubernetes clusters. With such a large number of tools and design choices available, building a tailored EKS cluster that meets your application’s specific needs can take a significant amount of time. It involves integrating a wide range of open-source tools and AWS services and requires deep expertise in AWS and Kubernetes.
AWS customers have asked for examples that demonstrate how to integrate the landscape of Kubernetes tools and make it easy for them to provision complete, opinionated EKS clusters that meet specific application requirements. Customers can use AWS Observability Accelerator to configure and deploy purpose built EKS clusters, and start onboarding workloads in days, rather than months.
