AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry

Installation of AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry using EKS Add-Ons

Install the ADOT Amazon EKS add-on to your Amazon EKS cluster using the following steps:

Open the Amazon EKS console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/eks/home#/clusters.
In the left pane, select Clusters, and then select the name of your cluster on the Clusters page.
Choose the Add-ons tab.
Choose Get more add-ons.
On the Select add-ons page, do the following:
1. In the Amazon EKS-addons section, select the AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry check box.
2. Choose Next.
On the Configure selected add-ons settings page, do the following:
1. The default version will be selected in the Version dropdown list. Select the Version you'd like to use.
2. (Optional) If deploying an ADOT Collector, expand Optional configuration settings and provide the Configuration values that match your use case for Collector deployment. The Add-on configuration schema provides the available options for your configuration values.
3. If a service account is already created in the cluster without an IAM role, expand the Optional configuration settings and select Override for the Conflict resolution method.
4. Choose Next.
On the Review and add page, choose Create. After the add-on installation is complete, you see your installed add-on.

Install the ADOT Amazon EKS add-on to your Amazon EKS cluster. Optionally, the --configuration-values flag can be added to deploy an ADOT Collector during add-on installation. You may also configure other available values with this flag.
```
aws eks create-addon --addon-name adot --cluster-name my-cluster --configuration-values my-configuration-values
```
The status field value will be CREATING until complete.
Verify that ADOT is installed and running.
```
aws eks describe-addon --addon-name adot --cluster-name my-cluster
```
You'll see "status": "ACTIVE" when creation is complete.
