Research direction
Investigate the current remote write implementation in k6, likely in the output package. Study the AWS SigV4 signing process and how to integrate it into k6's HTTP client for remote write. Check if there are any existing discussions or PRs related to this feature, and consult the Prometheus remote write specification for sigv4 support.
