How to Expand Data Collection for InfluxDB with CloudFormation Templates
In a previous post, I demonstrated how to call InfluxDB APIs from AWS Lambda, but the setup is fairly manual and the results are not portable. Ideally, we as a community can expand and share ways to collect and process time series data. To that end, I want to share a CloudFormation template. CloudFormation is AWS’ infrastructure as code service that lets you define almost any AWS component in a configuration file.
