Grafana Labs Signs Strategic Collaboration Agreement with AWS

Grafana Labs signed a strategic collaboration agreement (SCA) with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to accelerate adoption of open observability on AWS. 

Grafana Labs will help customers more easily adopt, migrate, and scale open observability on Grafana Cloud so teams can see, understand, and act on data across their AWS environments.

Through deeper technical and go-to-market collaboration, Grafana Labs and AWS aim to reduce friction for customers, accelerate time to value with AI, and provide greater flexibility through open standards and open ecosystems.

Through this agreement, Grafana Labs will continue to deliver industry-leading innovation to customers, including:

  • Actually useful AI: AI capabilities, including Grafana Assistant, that help teams move from signal to action faster by simplifying investigation, guiding troubleshooting, and reducing cognitive load so engineers spend less time querying data and more time fixing real problems.
  • SaaS economics, reimagined: A fully managed observability platform on AWS designed to scale efficiently, helping customers control telemetry costs and reduce operational overhead with Adaptive Telemetry so they can align observability spend with value.
  • Complexity, simplified: Full-stack, open observability that brings metrics, logs, traces, and events together across AWS environments, breaking down silos and helping teams understand complex systems faster.

As part of the collaboration, Grafana Labs plans to leverage AWS programs and funding to support customer adoption and growth, including AWS credits to help new customers get started with Grafana and transact in AWS Marketplace. Grafana Labs will also participate in AWS ISV Workload Migration Program (WMP) initiatives to help customers migrate to Grafana’s fully hosted observability solution on AWS, enabling teams to offload operational complexity while scaling observability across metrics, logs, and traces.

“By deepening our collaboration with AWS, we’re accelerating how customers adopt and scale Grafana on AWS,” said Ash Mazhari, VP of Corporate Development, Grafana Labs. “This agreement allows us to collaborate more effectively with AWS, while reducing barriers for customers through marketplace access, migration support, and investments in education and community. Together, we’re helping organizations gain faster, more actionable insights from their observability data as they grow in the cloud.”  

“Grafana Cloud on AWS empowers organizations to operate complex systems at scale with the observability they need,” said Allison Johnson, Director of Americas Technology Partnerships, AWS. “Through AI-powered insights that eliminate noise, seamless procurement via AWS Marketplace, and comprehensive migration support, customers can focus less on managing observability infrastructure and more on delivering exceptional customer outcomes.”

This collaboration underscores the value of Grafana Labs and AWS to provide flexibility and unlock greater business value for customers across industries.
