If you are using AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) to build a [Shared Services Platform (SSP)](https://aws-quickstart.github.io/cdk-eks-blueprints/), you can deploy New Relic's Kubernetes observability integration using our [add-on to EKS Blueprints](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@newrelic/newrelic-eks-blueprints-addon).

## Benefits for infrastructure engineers

-   Turnkey deployment that simplifies the standard Helm install.
-   Frictionless upgrades across all clusters as part of a deployment pipeline or via CDK deploy.
-   Analyze and alert on node capacity and utilization metrics.

## Benefits for developers

-   Analyze and alert on status and utilization metrics for Kubernetes workloads running in the cluster.
-   Collect Kubernetes events to identify resource constraints, scheduling issues, etc.
-   One-click access to container logs for easier troubleshooting.
-   Combine with New Relic APM for correlation between application, infrastructure, and log data.
