Cortex MCP set up

Learn how to set up the Cortex MCP in under 5 minutes. The MCP integrates directly into your IDE, giving instant access to Cortex data without leaving your coding environment. It reduces context switching by enabling natural questions about services and teams, and streamlines workflows with real-time data from Cortex, Jira, GitHub, and more.

Mike Long and DORA Community Discussion - Software Delivery Governance

Manual governance in regulated industries is like steering a ship with last year’s map. Approvals, ticket queues, and after-the-fact evidence collection slow delivery and increase risk. By the time an audit arrives, teams are scrambling to prove they followed the process. Watch Kosli’s Mike join Nathen Harvey at DORA to unpack why this happens — and what continuous, automated governance can do to fix it.

Fiber Paths and Failsafes: Why Your Network Design Matters

Redundancy isn’t just a buzzword – it’s the design principle keeping modern AI and cloud applications online. In this Uplink episode, Kevin Schlosser, Interconnection Product Manager at NTT Global Data Centers, explains how resilient infrastructure is engineered to expect failure but remain operational. We explore: Diverse entry points and fiber path management AI-driven bandwidth growth: 100G standard, 400G emerging Cooling innovations for intense compute workloads Why providers without their own fiber may offer the most resilient paths.

LTS vs. upgrades: which future are you building for?

How should businesses decide between sticking to an LTS release or moving to a continuous upgrade model? In this episode, we explore the trade-offs, from stability and security to innovation and agility, and why flexibility in your upgrade policy is key to long-term success. We break down when LTS makes sense, when frequent upgrades deliver the most value, and how to balance both to keep your business secure, stable, and ready for what’s next.

Traffic Replay: Production Without Production Risk

The software and product life cycle is fraught with pitfalls and tradeoffs. While testing applications under production-like load is critical to ensuring the reliability, performance, and security of your data storage and software services, you need to do this testing without actually affecting the production data and systems. In essence, you have to pull off the impossible - be as close to production as you can without actually being production.

What is Data Center Interconnect (DCI)? A Complete Guide

Data centers have become the beating heart of digital business. Everything from financial transactions to cloud-based collaboration tools depends on the seamless movement of information between these high-powered facilities. As demand for bandwidth grows and companies stretch their networks across cities, states, and continents, the ability to connect data centers securely and efficiently has taken on new urgency. But linking data centers isn’t as simple as laying fiber between buildings.

Migrate to Bitbucket Pipelines from Jenkins

In this video, we briefly discuss developer experience before diving into the details of setting up and running a simple CI/CD system using Jenkins and AWS EC2. Using tightly integrated, cloud-native products like Bitbucket Pipelines provides a better developer experience than using self-hosted on-prem tools like Jenkins. With self-hosted on-prem, developers spend less time building software and solving problems for their customers and more time maintaining their on-prem software.
