Jeffgoll/monitor aws resources lj

[jeffgoll]

Adds interactivity to learning path, "Monitor AWS resources with Grafana Cloud."

Walks users through connecting an AWS account to Grafana Cloud Provider Observability and monitoring AWS services via Amazon CloudWatch metrics and pre-built dashboards.

The path (monitor-aws-resources-lj) covers the full onboarding flow across these milestones:

• Navigate to the Cloud provider AWS configuration in Grafana Cloud
• Create an AWS IAM role with the required monitoring permissions
• Connect the AWS account to Grafana Cloud
• Create a scrape job to collect metrics from AWS services
• Verify data collection
• Explore AWS service data using pre-built dashboards

It also includes a framing milestone and an end-of-journey wrap-up, plus the accompanying manifest.json and website.yaml for each module.

Targeting is scoped to /a/grafana-csp-app/aws on the cloud platform, and the path recommends the Metrics Drilldown and Logs Drilldown journeys as follow-ups.

All controls were tested for show me/do it, using a private AWS account and Amazon Route 53 metrics.

Pull request overview

This PR adds a new learning path package (monitor-aws-resources-lj) for monitoring AWS resources using Grafana Cloud Provider Observability, including milestone guides (IAM role setup, account connection, scrape job creation, verification, and exploration), and assigns a code owner for the new directory.

Changes:

• Introduces the monitor-aws-resources-lj path manifest/website metadata plus path landing content.
• Adds nine milestone guides (business value → advantages → setup/configure → verify → explore → completion), each with content.json, manifest.json, and website.yaml.
• Updates .github/CODEOWNERS to include ownership for /monitor-aws-resources-lj/.

I believe this is intentional?

I think this is ok. Let's bring in @tacole02 to clarify that's the case.
