Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus expands to Asia Pacific (New Zealand)

Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus is now available in Asia Pacific (New Zealand).

What changed

• Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus (AMP) is now deployable in the ap-southeast-nz region.
• The service continues to support up to 1 billion active metric series per workspace.

Why it matters

This expansion provides a new option for customers operating within or serving users in the Asia Pacific (New Zealand) region. The honest version: Organizations with strict data residency requirements or those seeking reduced latency for Prometheus metric collection and querying within this specific geography now have a dedicated AWS endpoint. This moves AMP closer to workloads running in ap-southeast-nz, potentially improving ingestion times and query responsiveness compared to routing through more distant regions.

The catch

Watch out: While AMP is now available, the actual performance and cost-effectiveness will depend on the specific data ingestion patterns and query load. The announcement does not specify any new pricing tiers or discounts for this region; standard AMP pricing applies. Customers should verify that the ap-southeast-nz region meets their specific latency targets and compliance needs before migrating.

Ship it

If your primary customer base or critical infrastructure resides in New Zealand and you are using or evaluating Prometheus for monitoring, consider deploying your AMP workspaces in the ap-southeast-nz region to potentially reduce latency and meet data residency requirements. Pairs with: AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry.

Bottom line: AMP is now available in APN, offering a new regional option for Prometheus-compatible monitoring.
