Summary

New Relic is expanding its capabilities for monitoring Amazon Web Services (AWS), particularly for Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Services (EKS) containers deployed using AWS Fargate as a serverless deployment platform. This integration enhances observability of the Kubernetes cluster by injecting sidecar containers to collect metrics from kube-state-metrics, kubelet, and cAdvisor. The EKS Fargate integration supports both hybrid clusters with Fargate nodes and EC2 nodes, allowing for full visibility into the Kubernetes cluster. Additionally, it is compatible with New Relic's Kubernetes cluster explorer, enabling users to filter Fargate nodes by ComputeType or FargateProfile tags. The integration also improves dashboards, listing Fargate nodes and distinguishing them from standard nodes.
