VictoriaMetrics Cloud supports agentless AWS monitoring by integrating directly with Amazon CloudWatch via Amazon Kinesis Data Firehose . This allows you to forward metrics from AWS services (like EC2, RDS, Lambda, etc.) to VictoriaMetrics Cloud without deploying any collectors or agents.
This integration provides a simple, scalable, and maintenance-free way to monitor your AWS infrastructure.
