New Relic brings Agentic AI observability to Azure

New Relic has announced new agentic AI integrations with Microsoft Azure that embed intelligent observability directly into Azure’s SRE Agent and Microsoft Foundry, enabling engineering teams to detect, diagnose, and remediate issues faster—without switching platforms.

This empowers developers, DevOps, SREs, and platform engineering teams to automate incident detection, root cause analysis, and remediation across the entire application stack.

With global AI spending expected to cross $2 trillion by 2026 and Azure reporting 33% growth in Q1 2025, the integration addresses one of the biggest challenges in AI-driven environments: fragmented visibility and disjointed workflows.
