Datadog Agent now supports native kubelet logging for Amazon EKS on Fargate, eliminating the need for third-party log routers like Fluent Bit and AWS CloudWatch. The Agent deploys as a sidecar container, collects logs directly through the Kubernetes API server, and ships them to Datadog with full metadata tags. This approach simplifies setup, reduces infrastructure costs, and provides richer context compared to traditional Fargate logging methods.
