New Relic launched a new Kubernetes experience that brings together Kubernetes application and cluster performance data in a single user interface within New Relic One Application Performance Monitoring (APM), to help developers build more performant applications.
In addition to removing silos between APM and infrastructure monitoring, engineers are alerted of issues via a real-time activity stream and can correlate performance anomalies with one-click logs for faster troubleshooting. The experience is included as an essential part of the all-in-one New Relic One observability platform that allows engineers to get 3X+ more value than the competition, which requires provisioning separate SKUs with disjointed experiences and agent-based pricing models.
According to industry data from CNCF and New Relic, container and Kubernetes adoption have gone mainstream: usage has risen across organizations globally. However, Kubernetes does not come without challenges: developers are primarily focused on application performance, and ops professionals spend their time maintaining the performance and reliability of the underlying infrastructure — in this case, Kubernetes clusters, nodes, pods, and myriad other resources. The lines between application and infrastructure are blurred in Kubernetes environments, and if developers cannot understand underlying cluster performance, they lose the ability to optimize their container-based applications.
New Relic’s new Kubernetes experience fills this gap by providing developers and IT operators with the following capabilities directly within New Relic One APM:
- Cohesive experience – Analyze APM and Kubernetes cluster performance data in a single, curated UI, eliminating the need to navigate between APM and Infrastructure to manually correlate data.
- Real-time activity stream – Get alerted to Kubernetes events and critical issues in real time without switching context in a real-time activity stream.
- Logs in context – View and analyze all contextual logs to isolate bottlenecks and perform correlation analysis.
- Metrics in context – View selectable metrics to correlate and investigate performance anomalies side-by-side.
- 3X+ more value – Realize higher value on your investments as compared to the competition with agent-based pricing based on New Relic One’s simple and predictable US$0.25 per GB and per-user fees.
“Kubernetes adoption continues to grow as an essential strategy to accelerate application development. With New Relic's new Kubernetes experience, developers and engineers can correlate and analyze application golden signals against cluster resources in minutes, all in a single UI," said Alex Kroman, SVP and Product GM at New Relic. "Our users now have the tools to scale clusters and iterate rapidly to drive new and innovative products and services."
New Relic’s new Kubernetes experience is now available to all full platform users of the New Relic One platform — the only all-in-one observability platform with a secure telemetry cloud, powerful full-stack analysis tools and predictable consumption pricing instead of disjointed SKU bundles. All existing customers can access this new capability without any additional cost as part of their New Relic One account.

Enterprises today operate in a real-time environment where uninterrupted access to trusted data has become a baseline expectation for users, applications and automated systems. Traditional DataOps models, built on manual effort and human triage, cannot keep pace with this always active demand. AI agents are emerging as the operational backbone, ensuring consistent data availability, reinforcing trustworthiness and enabling a level of scale that manual processes cannot achieve ...
For decades, trust in the digital workplace rested on familiar signals. We trusted faces on video calls, voices on the phone, and emails that appeared to come from people we knew. These cues felt human and intuitive. They anchored how decisions were made, approvals were granted, and access was authorized. AI-powered deepfakes have quietly broken that model ...
Cloud migration was supposed to be a one-way door. For most enterprises, it turns out it isn't. Cloud data repatriation is a real and growing trend. A new survey ... finds that 89% of organizations plan to expand their on-premises infrastructure footprint over the next two years — and 75% have already moved at least some workloads back from public cloud in the past 24 months. The findings point to a broad rethinking of where data belongs ...
Over the past few years, large language models (LLMs) have revolutionized the software industry. Given their ability to excel at multi-step reasoning, LLMs have helped enterprises streamline workflows and adapt to the unknown. However, employing such models comes with sky-high costs, latency issues, and limited flexibility. In the realm of IT operations, it is generally wiser to employ smaller, domain-specific models instead ...
For years, DevOps teams operated under a simple assumption: collect enough telemetry, and you can find and fix any problem. That assumption is breaking down. Modern enterprises now operate across microservices, hybrid cloud environments, APIs, Kubernetes, and highly automated delivery pipelines. Releases happen continuously, dependencies shift constantly, and failures spread faster than teams can diagnose them ...
New Relic surveyed IT and engineering leaders from the media and entertainment (M&E) sector to understand what's working — and where challenges persist with their observability practices. The findings reveal how M&E organizations are navigating rising platform complexity, audience expectations, and AI-driven change. Below are five takeaways that stand out ...
Let me start with something I've seen play out more times than I can count. A team hits a wall with the cloud. Costs creep up, then spike. Performance starts to feel inconsistent. Someone in finance asks a simple question like "why did this double?" and nobody has a clean answer ... Maybe this isn't the right place for everything. That realization feels like a breakthrough, like you've identified the problem. In reality, you've just identified the starting line ...

In cloud-native systems, scaling is often as simple as moving a slider. For on-premise databases, the stakes are different. Over-provisioning hardware is expensive. Under-provisioning leads to performance bottlenecks that are difficult to fix once the equipment is in the rack ...
When most people think about cybersecurity, they picture firewalls, encryption, and access controls — technical tools designed to protect systems and data.

And in many ways, cybersecurity offers a surprisingly useful playbook for doing exactly that ...
