Whether you're using SolarWinds, PRTG, Datadog, or another long-standing monitoring solution, chances are your environment has evolved significantly since the platform was first deployed. New applications have been added. Infrastructure has expanded into cloud environments. Teams have developed custom dashboards, reports, alerts, and workflows. Over time, monitoring becomes deeply woven into daily operations. That's why many organizations continue using tools that no longer meet their needs.

An MCP server is the standardized bridge that lets AI agents like Claude Code and Cursor operate real infrastructure - deploy apps, provision databases, manage environments - through one governed API. Here's how MCP servers work for infrastructure, why they matter, and how to give agents production access without losing control. Romaric founded Qovery to make Kubernetes accessible to every engineering team. He writes about platform strategy, developer experience, and the future of cloud infrastructure.

The Preservation Hold Library silently inflates SharePoint storage. Replace it with Squirrel Recycle Bin Capture for compliant retention in customer-owned Azure.

CloudZero Explorer now tracks your query history and lets you save up to 12 configurations and 10 favorite dimensions, so your most-used cost analyses are one click away.

The core of ROI is visibility. If you can clearly see … 1. What it costs to produce the thing you make, and 2. How much money it makes you … then calculating ROI is easy. But with AI, as with the cloud before it, getting that visibility is extremely challenging. Why? Because the cost data associated with each is inherently chaotic.

Agentic coding tools like Claude Code can write, refactor, and debug across an entire codebase, but by default they read code as plain text, the way grep does. The Language Server Protocol (LSP) changes that: it’s the same code-intelligence layer an IDE uses, and wiring it into an agent lets it read code by meaning instead of by string match. The bigger the codebase, the more a wrong guess about a symbol costs, and the more that structural view pays off.

Europe is in the middle of one of its most severe heat events on record, and the effects go well beyond public health. As temperatures across France, Spain, the UK, and Germany push into record territory, the strain on power grids, cooling systems, and physical infrastructure is becoming impossible to ignore. For data center operators, maintaining uptime in this environment demands the real-time visibility that modern Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) software can provide.

If your team bIf your team builds with Python or.NET, your packages have likely lived separately from your code, stored in a registry with distinct login, permissions, and billing. Starting today, they don’t have to. Bitbucket Packages now supports the Python Package Index (PyPI) and NuGet, integrating Python and.NET package management into the platform where your team writes code, reviews pull requests, and runs pipelines.
