Streamline provisioning with New Relic resource types on the CloudFormation Registry
Blog post from New Relic
AWS CloudFormation is an infrastructure-as-code tool that streamlines the provisioning and management of cloud infrastructure, offering users the ability to utilize templates to model their resources. The integration of New Relic's resource types into the CloudFormation Public Registry allows users to manage both AWS and New Relic infrastructure seamlessly, with the benefit of leveraging functionalities such as drift detection. Eight new resources have been added, enabling the creation, updating, and deletion of New Relic Alerts, Dashboards, and Workloads as GraphQL objects. These resources are publicly available as third-party extensions across various AWS regions, with additional regions accessible upon request. Furthermore, New Relic resources support AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK) Constructs and AWS Cloud Control API (CCAPI), facilitating consistent CRUDL operations and enhancing the management and security of cloud infrastructure. AWS Config additionally supports automatic tracking of New Relic resource types, allowing for comprehensive auditing and inventory management.
