Log Forwarding and Retention with vRealize Log Insight Cloud

EKS Anywhere Observability using AWS native solution

How do I troubleshoot setup issues when I integrate Fluent Bit with Container Insights for Amazon EKS?

How do I stream container logs to CloudWatch in Amazon EKS?

How do I configure CloudWatch Container Insights to monitor my ECS tasks and container deployment?

How do I turn on Container Insights metrics on an Amazon EKS cluster?

This is a very interesting question and I would like to see an answer as well. My personal motivation would be to use the much better configuration and metrics filtering possibilities of adot compared to the "amazon-cloudwatch-observability" eks addon.

Yesterday, I tested the EKS ADOT add-on with the `awscontainerinsightreceiver` & the `awsemf` exporter.

The new Container Insights dashboard was showing some of the metrics.
I believe some of the ADOT performance logs do match the Enhanced Observability standard.

However, I was noticing that the cost structure changed completely. Cost Explorer was not showing `CW:ObservationUsage` anymore but a lot more `DataProcessing-Bytes` & `CW:MetricMonitorUsage`. Google "told me" that this is caused by CW Custom Metrics.

So, the "Observation-based" pricing is somehow connected to the tool being used but how?

The [CloudWatch Pricing page](https://aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/pricing/) in" Example 13 Container Insights for Amazon EKS and Kubernetes with & without enhanced observability" expalins that when using "with enhanced observability" I will be charged based on the number of observations. 

I know that I can get the "Container Insights with enhanced observability" using the  ["amazon-cloudwatch-observability" eks addon](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/install-CloudWatch-Observability-EKS-addon.html)

Now, can I get the same effect with the [ADOT eks add-on](https://aws-otel.github.io/docs/getting-started/adot-eks-add-on)?  and how? Specially I want to get the pricing based on number of observations.

Can I use ADOT eks add-on for container insights with enhanced observability (cost wise)?
