New Relic, a cloud observability platform, has announced native support for Kubernetes in OpenTelemetry and Prometheus-instrumented hosts. This new feature provides a more streamlined approach to data collection than the previous methods used by the company.

The new support service allows users to direct Kubernetes clusters and systems with OpenTelemetry collector and Prometheus Node Exporter in a single step, simplifying the process of creating topology maps. 

In addition, New Relic added the live archive functionality to its platform for easy access to extensive historical logs, making data management less cumbersome. According to the company, these new features will help DevOps teams manage highly distributed environments without needing additional engineers despite rapidly increasing codebases due to GenAI tools.
