Thanks. New Relic incentivizes running fewer, larger instances, which unnecessarily exposes to risk of machine failure.

Exactly, and with a containerized infrastructure the per host pricing model breaks down further. Our goal is to have the most frictionless pricing model for people with a microservice architecture.
Just to be clear: we (New Relic) explicitly state on our pricing page that we do NOT charge for containers. It's in our FAQ. We view them as processes, not hosts.
