Introducing New Relic for Windows Containers on Google Kubernetes Engine and Anthos
Blog post from New Relic
New Relic and Google Cloud have enhanced their collaboration by supporting Windows Containers on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and Google Cloud Anthos, allowing Windows and Linux containers to operate simultaneously in the same cluster, which accelerates the deployment of Windows server-based applications on Google Cloud. The New Relic One platform offers a comprehensive observability solution for Kubernetes deployments, providing data gathering, visualization, and analysis of metrics, events, logs, and traces in one place, thereby enabling full insight into multi-cloud deployments. Its Kubernetes monitoring capabilities include a cluster explorer, allowing teams to monitor performance, dependencies, and issues across any Kubernetes environment. The solution facilitates monitoring, alerting, and dashboarding for Kubernetes entities and services, with features like distributed tracing to track request paths and New Relic Logs to provide logging context. The integration with Google Cloud and Istio metrics further enhances monitoring capabilities, ensuring an intuitive and cohesive experience for managing complex Kubernetes and serverless deployments, thus supporting customers in modernizing infrastructure and accelerating their cloud journey.
