To initiate an exception request to enable this integration for your organization, email [support@ddog-gov.com](mailto:support@ddog-gov.com). {% /alert %} {% /callout %} ## Overview{% #overview %} Amazon EKS is a managed service that makes it easy to run Kubernetes on AWS without needing to stand up or maintain your own Kubernetes control plane. Enable this integration to see all your Amazon EKS metrics in Datadog. This integration uses a crawler that collects metrics from CloudWatch. Read the [Amazon EKS](https://docs.datadoghq.com/integrations/amazon_eks.md) page for information about monitoring EKS through the Datadog Agent. ## Setup{% #setup %} ### Installation{% #installation %} If you haven't already, set up the [Amazon Web Services integration](https://docs.datadoghq.com/integrations/amazon_web_services.md) first. ### Metric collection{% #metric-collection %} 1. In the [AWS integration tile](https://app.datadoghq.com/integrations/amazon-web-services), ensure that `EKS` is enabled under the `Metric Collection` tab. 1. Install the [Amazon EKS integration](https://app.datadoghq.com/integrations/amazon-eks-cloud). ## Data Collected{% #data-collected %} ### Metrics{% #metrics %} | | | | |
