‘Show Me (Where I’m Spending) the Money!’ AWS Billing Comes to New Relic Insights
Blog post from New Relic
New Relic's AWS Billing integration provides users with enhanced visibility and control over their Amazon Web Services (AWS) expenses by allowing them to monitor and manage cloud costs alongside application and infrastructure performance metrics. By integrating AWS Billing into New Relic Insights, users can track actual and forecasted expenses per application using AWS's tagging capabilities and budget features. The integration allows for the creation of dashboards and data apps that display AWS spend and performance metrics, offering insights into potential cost-saving opportunities, such as resizing underutilized EC2 instances. Additionally, New Relic Alerts can be configured to notify users when AWS spending reaches specific thresholds, enabling proactive management of cloud expenditures. Users can access this information through both desktop and mobile applications, and further details on setup and utilization are available through webinars and documentation provided by New Relic.
