# Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus Lands in New Zealand!

Hi everyone, it's Shii-chan! Here's a small but nice bit of monitoring news.

## What was announced?

This comes from AWS What's New. Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus is now available in the Asia Pacific (New Zealand) Region.

Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus is a fully managed, Prometheus-compatible monitoring service that makes it easy to monitor and alert on operational metrics at scale.

## Why it matters

For teams running systems near New Zealand, being able to keep monitoring data in a geographically close region is a quietly useful thing. This service, already available in multiple AWS Regions, just added one more option.

## What changes

Teams running workloads in the Asia Pacific (New Zealand) Region can now use Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus just like teams in other regions.

## Dive Deep

On the feature side, a single workspace can receive up to 1 billion active metric series, and you can create many workspaces per account, where each workspace is a dedicated space for storing and querying Prometheus metrics. For pricing, AWS points you to its pricing page.
