Pre-configured Prometheus AMI by Cloud Ops Group for AWS infrastructure monitoring, alerting, and metrics collection. Deploy in minutes.
Overview
Pre-Configured Prometheus Monitoring AMI by Cloud Ops Group
Gain full-stack infrastructure visibility with a ready-to-deploy Prometheus AMI built and maintained by Cloud Ops Group. Instead of spending hours installing and configuring Prometheus from scratch, launch a production-ready monitoring instance on AWS in minutes.
Why Choose This AMI Over Self-Installation?
Cloud Ops Group packages Prometheus with AWS-native integrations and operational best practices so your team can focus on insights rather than setup. This AMI is designed for DevOps engineers, SRE teams, and platform engineers who need reliable infrastructure monitoring without the overhead of manual deployment.
Key Capabilities
- Multi-dimensional data model - Identify time series by metric name and key/value pairs for granular analysis and faster root-cause identification
- PromQL query language - Slice and aggregate metrics flexibly to reduce mean time to resolution during incidents
- Autonomous single-server architecture - No distributed storage dependencies, reducing operational complexity and infrastructure cost
- Pull-based collection over HTTP - Scrape targets automatically with minimal network configuration
- Push gateway support - Accommodate short-lived batch jobs that cannot be scraped directly
- Service discovery - Automatically detect EC2 instances and other AWS resources as monitoring targets
- Multiple visualization options - Connect to Grafana dashboards for rich data visualization and reporting
AWS Integrations
This Prometheus AMI works seamlessly with key AWS services:
- Amazon EC2 Service Discovery - Automatically discover and monitor EC2 instances without manual target configuration
- Amazon CloudWatch - Use the CloudWatch Exporter to pull AWS service metrics into Prometheus for unified monitoring
- Grafana on AWS - Visualize Prometheus metrics with Grafana dashboards for comprehensive data visualization
- Alertmanager - Route alerts to Amazon SNS, PagerDuty, or other notification channels
Use Case: Monitoring a SaaS Platform on AWS
An engineering team running a microservices architecture on EC2 can deploy this AMI to collect metrics across all instances using EC2 service discovery. PromQL queries surface latency spikes and resource saturation, while Alertmanager routes critical notifications to on-call engineers. Grafana dashboards provide real-time visibility into system health, helping teams reduce incident response time.
Security and Configuration
The AMI includes TLS support for securing metric transport and API access. Authentication can be configured for the Prometheus UI and API endpoints to restrict unauthorized access. We recommend deploying within a private VPC subnet with security groups limiting inbound access to authorized networks only.
Getting Started
- Subscribe to the AMI through AWS Marketplace
- Launch an EC2 instance using the AMI
- Configure security groups to allow access on port 9090
- Access the Prometheus UI and begin configuring scrape targets
- Connect Grafana for dashboard visualization

Highlights
- Pre-configured Prometheus AMI that deploys on AWS in minutes, eliminating manual installation and configuration. Includes service discovery for EC2 instances, PromQL query language for flexible metric analysis, and push gateway support for batch jobs. Built and maintained by Cloud Ops Group with ongoing updates and dedicated support.
- Integrates with AWS services including Amazon EC2 service discovery for automatic target detection, CloudWatch Exporter for unified AWS metrics collection, and Grafana for rich data visualization dashboards. Route alerts through Alertmanager to Amazon SNS, PagerDuty, or your preferred notification channels for rapid incident response.
- Autonomous single-server architecture requires no distributed storage dependencies, reducing operational complexity and infrastructure cost. TLS support secures metric transport and API access. Deploy within a private VPC subnet with security groups for network isolation. Ideal for DevOps engineers, SRE teams, and platform engineers monitoring cloud infrastructure.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the software running on an Amazon EC2 instance. There is no upfront commitment. Your cost depends on the EC2 instance type you choose, and each instance size carries its own hourly rate. The listing covers many instance families, including compute-optimized (C), general-purpose (M), memory-optimized (R and X), storage-optimized (D, I, H), and accelerated GPU/FPGA options (G, P, F, DL). Larger instances within a family cost more per hour because they provide more compute, memory, or storage. Pick the instance that fits your monitoring workload.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
The hourly rate covers the Prometheus monitoring software packaged in the AMI. You also pay the standard AWS charge for the EC2 instance you run it on. These are separate charges. The software fee is tied to the instance type you launch.
Hourly software charges apply only while the instance runs. A stopped instance does not accrue software fees. You may still pay AWS for attached storage, such as the disk holding your Prometheus data, even when the instance is off.
Each instance type has its own hourly software rate. Larger sizes provide more CPU, memory, or storage, so they carry a higher rate. Since Prometheus runs on autonomous single server nodes, you pick one instance sized to your metric volume and query load.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
