Simplified observability with New Relic and Amazon EC2 Image Builder

AWS EC2 Image Builder simplifies the traditionally complex and error-prone process of managing virtual machine and container images by providing a streamlined, automated solution for both AWS and on-premises environments. The integration with New Relic further enhances this process by automatically installing the latest New Relic agent for telemetry collection, thereby eliminating the need for manual installation and ensuring effortless observability from the moment an EC2 instance is created. This integration allows users to focus on core metrics while benefiting from automated updates and built-in AWS security settings. The process involves using the New Relic agent available in the Amazon marketplace, which leverages AWS Secrets Manager for secure configuration, making it easier to monitor runtime and usage metrics in EC2 images.
