Datadog today announced
support for Amazon Web Services (AWS) CloudFormation's new capabilities
to manage third party resources.
The
AWS CloudFormation Registry provides a common framework for managing
and provisioning all the infrastructure components in a cloud
environment, including third party services and resources. Using the new
AWS CloudFormation CLI, Datadog has worked with AWS to enable creation
of templates that allow users to create and manage their Datadog
configurations as code. With Datadog's AWS CloudFormation resource
provider, it is now possible to programmatically create and manage your
AWS and Datadog configurations within a single CloudFormation template,
making it easy to build reliable, repeatable processes for monitoring
dynamic infrastructure.
"Companies are relying on CloudFormation more than ever to automate
infrastructure provisioning on AWS. Customers want the same safety,
predictability, and speed to manage non-AWS components too," said Amjad
Hussain, Director, AWS CloudFormation. "Users can now enjoy the ability
to easily setup and maintain their Datadog resources as code, just as
they do for the rest of their AWS services."
Datadog's cloud monitoring platform brings together infrastructure
metrics, application traces, log data, synthetic monitoring, and network
performance monitoring, allowing organizations to scale their cloud
environments, troubleshoot potential issues, and provide their customers
with excellent digital experiences. Datadog supports a wide range of
AWS services, and is a member of the AWS Partner Network (APN).
"We're excited to support the new AWS CloudFormation features," said
Ilan Rabinovitch, VP of Product and Community at Datadog. "Providing
repeatable steps for provisioning and setting up monitoring resources
will help our customers with their critical AWS infrastructure."
