Amazon CloudWatch Metric Streams, when integrated with New Relic, provides an efficient solution for monitoring AWS cloud infrastructure by enabling real-time visibility into system performance and operational events. This integration leverages the AWS Well-Architected Framework to guide users in building reliable and cost-effective cloud workloads while ensuring operational excellence through telemetry monitoring. By utilizing Amazon CloudWatch Metric Streams, businesses can access up-to-date telemetry data without the need for continuous querying, allowing for quick detection and response to operational incidents. The process involves setting up a metric stream in AWS, configuring New Relic to receive and analyze this data, and establishing alert policies for immediate notification of performance issues. This integration simplifies data management by eliminating the need for custom integrations for each AWS service, thereby streamlining the observability of cloud operations.
