New Relic, the Intelligent Observability Company, announced new agentic integrations with Microsoft Azure that deliver New Relic’s intelligent observability insights directly to the Azure SRE Agent and Microsoft Foundry.

The innovations — delivered by New Relic’s AI Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server and Azure Monitor — meet customers where they work and address the core challenges that developers, DevOps, and site reliability engineers (SREs) face with the complex, non-deterministic nature of AI agents. With these new integrations, teams can reduce mean time to resolution (MTTR) and increase productivity.

New Relic Chief Product Officer Brian Emerson says, “AI agents are poised to transform how IT and development teams work, but leaders and practitioners need intelligent observability within their workflows to realize the full potential of agentic AI. With our new integrations, we bring our AI-strengthened observability directly into Microsoft Azure products and services so teams can automate workflows and surface actionable insights, without having to context-switch. Together with Microsoft, we are helping more businesses harness the power of AI for growth.”

Overall global AI spending is forecasted to top $2 trillion in 2026, according to Gartner, and Azure achieved 33percent revenue growth in Q1 2025 as organizations accelerate cloud and AI adoption, but technical teams still confront disjointed workflows that slow troubleshooting and decision-making.

Developers, ITOps, DevOps, SRE and platform engineering teams are forced to switch between different platforms to fetch open alerts or analyze deployment impacts, and their AI assistants often operate in isolation away from observability data.

Julia Liuson, President, Developer Division at Microsoft says, “Microsoft Azure helps IT teams and developers build AI-powered solutions that scale and inspire. These teams deserve a seamless workflow without switching between tools. Our latest integrations with New Relic mean that teams receive intelligent insights from Azure’s AI agents within their workflows so they understand exactly what’s going on during incidents. We’re driving an accelerated time to value and helping teams do more, faster.”
