Automic Continuous Delivery Automation vs New Relic Kubernetes Monitoring

Automic Continuous Delivery Automation has no write-up on Specifiction yet; its figures are above.

New Relic Kubernetes Monitoring provides visibility into cluster health and workloads across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments. Its cluster explorer brings together metrics, events, logs, and traces for control plane components, nodes, namespaces, deployments, replica sets, pods, and containers. The integration can forward Kubernetes logs and events for exploration, querying, and alerting, and uses service discovery to scrape Prometheus metrics. Teams can link application performance data with Kubernetes data to examine request rates, throughput, errors, and availability. Predefined and custom alert conditions are available, and reported data can trigger pod autoscaling. It can also monitor supported services including Apache, Cassandra, Elasticsearch, Kafka, MongoDB, MySQL, NGINX, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, and Redis. Installation requires a New Relic license key and uses Helm or manifests. The perpetual free tier includes 100 GB of data ingest per month and one full platform user. The default configuration uses a privileged Infrastructure Agent sidecar for deep host metrics; unprivileged mode is available with reduced host visibility. The listed Pro plan costs $349 a year.
