Navigate to Cloud Provider Observability

In this milestone, you’ll access the Cloud provider AWS configuration interface in Grafana Cloud. This interface provides the central location for managing your AWS monitoring setup, including authentication, service selection, and dashboard deployment.

The Cloud provider AWS configuration interface streamlines the integration process by providing guided setup steps to ensure your connection works correctly.

To navigate to the Cloud provider AWS configuration interface, complete the following steps:

1. Sign in to your Grafana Cloud environment, for example mystack.grafana.net.

2. On the Grafana Cloud home page, open the navigation menu on the left side of the screen and click Observability > Cloud provider > AWS.

3. On the AWS page, click the Configuration tab.

The Cloud provider AWS configuration page includes multiple options including authentication and setup instructions. This page guides you through the process of connecting your AWS account and selecting which services to monitor.

In your next milestone, you’ll create the required AWS IAM role that allows Grafana Cloud to access your AWS metrics.
