Deploying and configuring Datadog with CloudFormation

This article details how to use Datadog's new CloudFormation Registry integration to define and manage monitoring configurations – like dashboards, monitors, and alerts – as infrastructure as code. By treating monitoring as code, teams can version control, automate, and consistently apply observability across their AWS environments using familiar CloudFormation workflows. This approach streamlines monitoring setup, improves reliability, and enables easier collaboration between development and operations teams.
