AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry Lambda announces removal of prometheusexporter from March 2023 release

AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry Lambda announces removal of prometheusexporter from March 2023 Lambda layer release (v0.27.0) in favor of using prometheusremotewriteexporter as the default exporter to send metrics to Prometheus.

We advise customers to change their collector configuration to use prometheusremotewriteexporter by the end of March 2023. The instructions to set the exporter are mentioned in our documentation and in upstream OpenTelemetry. If you have any questions on the migration to the new exporter, please feel free to file an issue.
