New Relic launches support for Amazon Linux 2023

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has launched Amazon Linux 2023 (AL2023), which is compatible with Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) and is fully supported by New Relic's platform, including Graviton architectures, except for logging support from Fluent Bit, which is anticipated soon. The new distribution integrates the latest AWS features, ensuring a seamless monitoring experience for applications and infrastructure using New Relic's agents. Users are advised to upgrade from Amazon Linux 1, as support ended in 2020, to benefit from AL2023's capabilities. New Relic offers a guided installation process for deploying its infrastructure monitoring agent, allowing users to receive data quickly and improve troubleshooting workflows by integrating Amazon EC2 metrics into New Relic's observability platform. For large-scale deployments, methods like configuring instance launch settings, pre-building Amazon Machine Images (AMIs), and automating with AWS tools are recommended. Integrating AWS services with New Relic enhances full-stack observability by streaming Amazon CloudWatch telemetry data, allowing for efficient correlation and monitoring of cloud-based infrastructure and applications.
