Connect AWS GovCloud to New Relic

The AWS GovCloud (US) regions are designed to address the specific regulatory needs of United States (federal, state, and local agencies), education institutions, and the supporting ecosystem. It is an isolated AWS region designed to host sensitive data and regulated workloads in the cloud, helping customers support their US government compliance requirements. The available set of AWS services is a subset of the AWS ecosystem.

New Relic provides you with the confidence to deploy your most critical services on GovCloud, allowing you to monitor and observe your entire ecosystem from our platform.

The AWS CloudWatch metric stream capability isn't available on GovCloud regions.

Tip

You can use Terraform to automate the process of enabling cloud integrations. Read how in the Terraform official documentation site.
