>> From New York City, it's theCube covering New Relic Feature Stack 2019. Brought to you by New Relic. >> Stu: Hi, I'm Stu Miniman and this is theCube's first year of coverage at the seventh year of New Relic's Futurestack 2019 here in New York City and happy to welcome back to the program two Cube alumni. So, Todd Osborne is the GVP of Alliances and Channel with New Relic and Dave McCann is the Vice President of Migration Services, Marketplace and Control Services with AWS. Gentlemen, thanks so much for joining us. >> Dave: Great seeing you again, Stu. >> Todd: Thanks for having us. >> Allright, um, Todd, let's start with you uh, you know, quite a bit of a relationship with, between New Relic and AWS. I know we've had Lou on our program at the AWS shows a couple of times. So, set us up with the, the partnership and how it's been evolving. >> Todd: Yeah, it's been a, uh an unbelievable partnership, um, for many, many years we've worked together starting with technology integrations, we've got dozens of them that, that natively monitor a bunch of different AWS services but the most exciting thing of late ah, really came to life middle of last year when we started working with, uh, a bunch of different folks at AWS. Our, basically, our biggest thing that we need help with is migrations. We know we have this massive opportunity, uh, to, for more and more applications more and more workloads to move to the cloud. There's lots of different ways in which customers, partners and Amazon needed help in doing that. They brought us several different challenges related to that and we responded by, ah, at Reinvent Launch last year, launching what we call the Cloud Adoption Solution. That really was how, um, a process that linked up with the Amazon Migration Acceleration Program and used New Relic as the platform to help with migrations from beginning to end. So, starting with the planning, uh, phase of the process, getting the information you need to have a successful migration and design a successful migration, troubleshooting that may, of anything tat may occur during the migration and then post migration, really helping to optimize the performance and cost of how that migration, uh, or that post migration, ah, optimization and run phase. So, it started with that. It's really evolved. What's been really amazing, just since we launced last November December at Reinvent, the whole, we've seen a massive shift already, just the last nine months, where it's not about just simple lift and shift anymore, almost all customers that are migrating now, are also thinking about modernizing their software stack, running on containers, using kubernetes, running micro services, which is New Relic's sweet spot, really, at the application space. So, as we've evolved, starting with migration, evolving into modernization, it's been an amazing partnership working with AWS. >> Stu: So, Dave, migration services, obviously something we hear a lot about from AWS. Every time I go on one of these shows, it's one of the key steps that gets thrown out. Uh, you have a very broad ecosystem, the marketplace, uh, you know is, is the closest I call to the kind of the enterprise app store, uh, of today. Tell us what's, you know, special and, really, you know the effort that goes together between AWS and New Relic here. >> Dave: So, I think, from a migration point of view, um, you know we've spent a lot of time in AWS designing a migration methodology. Our professional services team, let by Tom Weatherby is really delivering a playbook directly to our customers on how to migrate. And, also, we've certified over fifty consultant partners who are certified to do the migration. But all the migrations hinge on a customer knowing what they have and whether they want to migrate it. And, so, to necessarily know what you have, you have to go through application discovery. So, if you've got a larger server fleet, you've got four or five thousand instances, you have a thousand apps, you've actually got to discover and analyze what you have. And, clearly New Relic's tool is widely installed. So they actually have the visibility to a lot of the installed apps. So, last year, at the end of last year, we bought a Canadian company called TSO Logic. And TSO Logic is a business case tool from building the business case on whether to move an application running on PRIM. What would it look like on The Cloud? So, we need to have that data in the tool. And, so, New Relic's been a great partner, integrating New Relic into TSO Logic, so we cal actually take the instrument in visibility that New Relic brings to the table and pop it right into the tool. And, so, the New Relic, TSO tool integration is a great new mechanism that we have. And we just acquired TSO in Q1 of 2019. So that we're now giving the TSO tool to all of our solution architects and all of our consulting partners and New Relic feeds the data right into the TSO tool. So that's a huge, um, uh, mechanism for accelerating migration. >> Okay, uh, can, can you speak to, you know, how, are you, who and what customers and how are you targeting them, uh, for, for this solution? >> So, first of all, customer are moving to AWS. You know, thousand of enterprises are moving applications. I think you have to assume that most enterprises are moving to The Cloud. And the question is, "At what speed?" So, as our sales teams engage with the customer, the sales team have a notion to discuss migration we run migration methodology. And so, as we engage with the teams, the solution architect brings TSO to the tool, to the discussion. And that's happening all around the world. And we've trained our solution architects on TSO. And as we've done that, the second thing we've done is, you know, New Relic engineered engine marketplace over two years ago. But we've launched a new capability called Private Offers. And Private Offers is where the customer, while they're planning the migration, may also need to license more New Relic and New New Relic. And, so, how do we make licensing really easy? And, so, New Relic worked with us on, the, what we call the Private Offers Workflow. And that Private Offer Workflow allows a New Relic sales executive to generate the quote right in the marketplace portal. And you, an AWS customer, and you receive that private quotation right in your AWS account. So not only are we business casing on TSO, but New Relic is quoting through marketplace. So that's happening into lots of large customers. >> Stu: Yeah, uh, you know, what if you talk about the adoption of Cloud we need to make it simpler for customers to move those. And the financial piece has always been one of the promises of Cloud, but things like this Private Offer, it sounds like it helps accelerate, uh, that simplicity, and, and you know, reduces any, you know, perceived barriers there are between some of the software vendors and what you're offering. >> Dave: Well, it flows the New Relic software supply right through marketplace and more and more large companies are using marketplace for software supply. And, so, New Relic's in there. It means that our sales teams are working together So, we talked this morning at the conference with the VP of Cloud architecture who was in the conversation. And so, Chris has been working with the AWS team and with the New Relic team and we're joined at the hip as they expand their use of New Relic. And they announced this morning that they've now moved over thirty percent of all of the Cox application onto the AWS Cloud. And New Relic's been the center of that visibility. >> Stu: All right, so, Todd, a lot of announcements at the show, especially uh, you know, the capital p platform as Lou talked about in the keynote this morning. Well, you know, AWS is one of the largest platforms out there today. Help us understand how these fit together, both platforms as well as just, just the announcements in general as to how they work with AWS. >> Yeah, what every single thing we announced today had some sort of AWS tie to it. So, I mean first of all with New Relic, one, being a platform, it's open, connected, and, um, and, and programmable. And, so, the open part of that means that not only can we just inject data with New Relic agents, now we, we now are an observability platform that will take date from all kinds of sources, so think of what that opens up in working with AWS and AWS's other partners and getting data from a bunch of different sources, to then make the observability even better. We announce a log in solution. We're already connected with AWS, uh, cloud watch logs and, and, uh, working on some other new feature solutions in the log in space. And then from a programmability perspective, um, we can now take what we have, we can write all kinds of applications on top of the New Relic platform. And some of the initial couple of, of the dozen application that have already been opensource, one is a cost optimization play which looks at Amazon data, uh, both utilization performance data, some other sources of data that New Relic has, and then pulls in the Amazon cost data, can actually look at, in the New Relic platform, as a free opensource application, how do I optimize my cost in the AWS environment? And the second one, which we didn't talk about too much this morning but it's out there, but we can take some of VienMore data and some of the on PRIM data that we have visibility to today and help design that landing zone to help migrations do better, So, it's just two really quick examples of how we can take data from all these different sources and program it, write new applications on top of it, create an awesome customer use case and work with Amazon and, uh, help migrations and optimization along the way. >> Stu: All right, Dave, I'm wondering if you have any customer examples that might highlight some of the joint work that's being worked on between New Relic and AWS. >> Dave: Also, You Know, obviously I've just made some Cox We stood on stage this morning with the press where Cox has said that they've now got nine thousand work loads under New Relic visibility. And so that nine thousand work loads is across hundreds of development teams and, I think, Cox is just an illustration of many customers that we have in common. Um, you know, we're, AWS has got thousands of enterprises, so does New Relic. I think you've said you have over one hundred thousand five hundred enterprises using you. So, some large number. So there's a high overlap in many customers at this conference. And as we sat in the room this morning, um, I would say more than half the room held up their hands when I said, "Who in this room is using AWS?" Half of the audience here are AWS customers and New Relic customers. >> Todd: If I could maybe just add on the Cox story a little bit, because I've been very involved with that one. The beauty of the partnership we have there was multiple, on multiple phases. First, Cox has been a customer of ours for a number of years. Both on PRIM and in the cloud as they have accelerated their cloud, we've helped a lot with that. What was great about that partnership was that our field teams got together and, and actually really sat down and, and mapped out the migration, multiple migration scenarios. We had data on a bunch of on PRIM stuff that was valuable to AWS. AWS was the standard on a couple of divisions on cloud that we weren't monitoring all the applications there. So the teams really worked really well together and then at the end of the day, we came together and said, um, there's a bunch of benefits for the customer, for AWS and us, if the, if uh, if a transaction, the last transaction we did there, went though the marketplace, which was a significant transaction that we did with, ah, on the marketplace. So it was just such a win, win, win that tied together the, uh, all the aspects of the strategic nature-natureship, nature of our partnership. >> Stu: All right, so, you know, it's clear you're teams have been working close tother, iterating and adding a lot of the last kind of year, year or two or so. Give us a little bit look forward. What more should we expect of, a, from, from this partnership? >> Dave: So the area I think I would talk about next, that I think all customers are paying attention to, is spam management. So, you migrate your application to the cloud, you establish a could operating modem, um, we license out software through marketplace, you're now running it, at last week we have another product that I run called Service Catalog. And last week what we launched in Service Catalog was a new ability, and Service Catalog is a library of templates, so those templates are launched as Jason Templates using something called cloud formation and we've versioned the templates and what we launched last week was an integration between Service Catalog and another tool our customers have called AWS Budgets. So now what you actually want to do is you want to grant the team access to a resource and on the tag of the template, you actually want to give that resource template a budget. So that is actually under an API, so there's an AWS Budget API, there's a Service Catalog API, Lou's team today announced a whole raft of New Relic tools. But one of the things that they announced was the ability to essentially build these new widgets, using a React widget, and pull data from other sources. So that's the area some of the customers are looking at as far as taking your spam widget and connecting it into both AWS Budgets and Service Catalog. I don't know if you want to give us your thoughts on that. >> Todd: I, I already talked a little bit about it but it's, it's, it's where we can go. Like the future if almost, almost, uh, infinity right now. What we can go do together. We are trying to align to several of the programs Dave mentioned around Service Catalog, Migration Hub, focus on a couple different use cases of what, um, ever migration has a bunch of nuances and every optimization story has a bunch of nuances. But how can we create the right application, which are a starting point, opensource, put, put the repository up on get up and then allow customers and partners to go and fork that, do what they want to match, kind of of standard use case and maybe eighty percent of the way there. But then it needs a little but of tweak, a little bit of customization basesd on whatever that customer's situation is. We've enabled the entire, uh, community of millions apps that are going to migrate to the AWS cloud over the next couple of years. We've enabled that with what we've launched today. So, the, uh, the future is, is infinity and beyond. >> Stu: All right, well, Todd and Dave, thank you so much for the update. We look forward to seeing what gets announced at AWS Reinvent, which, of course, it'll be our seventh year of having theCube there. Big presence, uh, please reach out if you want to talk to us ahead of time. And check out theCube.net, of course, where you can see, uh, where we will be, including, of course, AWS Reinvent, uh, in December, uh, in Las Vegas. So, This is theCube at Future Stack 2019. I'm Stu Miniman. Thanks for watching theCube.
