Summary

New Relic will exhibit at KubeCon North America 2026, where it plans to address Kubernetes observability challenges associated with growing AI workloads, expanding telemetry systems, and “Agent Debt,” or the accumulation of monitoring agents and tools. At Booth #159, the company will demonstrate OpenTelemetry-based monitoring through its Kube Stack chart, telemetry-reduction configurations, and the Autopilot Kubernetes Agent, which uses more than 90 detectors to investigate common cluster failures and correlate events, infrastructure data, logs, and APM traces. A featured “Noisy Neighbor Problem” demo will trace application latency to a pod lacking CPU limits, illustrating cross-layer diagnosis and automated remediation guidance. New Relic will also present sessions on business-focused OpenTelemetry telemetry, Prometheus interoperability, OpenTofu auditing, secure software templates, enterprise observability blueprints, and sampling strategies, while highlighting offerings including Ground Truth, Infrastructure 360, Database 360, Federated Logs, AI Log Summarization, and scheduled reporting.
