Contain Complexity With New Relic’s Kubernetes Integration

Gannett, a media giant, utilizes Kubernetes for its containerized infrastructure but faces challenges in maintaining visibility and control due to the automated nature of orchestration. To address these issues, New Relic has introduced an Infrastructure on-host integration for Kubernetes that provides comprehensive monitoring of container orchestration layers. This integration allows teams to track metrics related to nodes, Namespaces, Deployments, ReplicaSets, Pods, and containers, facilitating full visibility into both frontend and backend applications within Kubernetes clusters. The integration offers dashboards and alerting capabilities, enabling users to transition from an infrastructure-centric to an application-centric view, thereby improving the ability to troubleshoot and optimize performance. By combining application and Kubernetes metrics, New Relic aids in understanding application performance and infrastructure challenges, making it easier for teams to identify root causes of errors and improve deployment efficiency. The integration is available in public beta to New Relic Infrastructure customers and supports platforms such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and IBM Cloud Container Service.
