Which service provides a serverless, Prometheus-compatible monitoring solution for container metrics?

• A. Amazon Managed Grafana
• B. Amazon CloudWatch
• C. AWS Management Console
• D. Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus

Answer: (C)

Focusing on a serverless, Prometheus-compatible way to monitor container metrics points to a dedicated Prometheus backend rather than a visualization tool or AWS’s own metrics service. The Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus is a fully managed, serverless time-series database that stores Prometheus metrics and is natively Prometheus-compatible, so you can use PromQL to query container and Kubernetes metrics without provisioning Prometheus servers yourself. It scales automatically with your workloads and supports scraping metrics from Kubernetes components or exporters, with easy integration to visualization tools like Amazon Managed Grafana. The other options either provide dashboards (Managed Grafana), AWS’s own metrics platform (CloudWatch), or a management console UI, none of which serve as the Prometheus-compatible backend for container metrics.
