Using Terraform to configure New Relic in the cloud
Blog post from New Relic
Integrating New Relic with Terraform streamlines the process of linking application performance and availability to cloud resources, facilitating quicker issue resolution, cost savings, and informed architectural decisions. Previously, setting up such integrations required extensive manual configuration, but Terraform simplifies this by allowing users to define their desired setup using its scripting language, HCL, which is then executed through New Relic APIs. This automation not only accelerates the scaling and modification of cloud configurations but also reduces the operational overhead associated with manual processes. The New Relic Terraform provider offers multiple resources to configure cloud integrations, with examples and guidance available in the Terraform documentation. Users seeking to enhance their observability setups can access tutorials, examples, and community support through New Relic's platforms, while additional insights and engineering tips are available on the Data Bytes YouTube channel.
