How to use New Relic with AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry

AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry is a production-ready open source distribution that enables AWS users to instrument their applications with OpenTelemetry. It includes the AWS OpenTelemetry SDKs, Java auto instrumentation agent, and OpenTelemetry collector, which provides vendor-agnostic implementation for receiving, processing, and exporting telemetry data. The collector removes the need to run multiple collectors and gives users tools to send open source observability data to any backend regardless of format. Users can run the collector in various environments such as EKS, ECS, or EC2 and configure it to export data to New Relic using OTLP exporters. By following a step-by-step guide, users can instrument their Java applications with OpenTelemetry and send data to New Relic for analysis. AWS Distro for OpenTelemetry streamlines the observability workflow, allowing users to visualize, analyze, and correlate application performance data with underlying infrastructure data, reducing mean time to problem resolution.
