Introducing Cortex Plugins and Customization

To be a true system of record, your IDP needs to be a source of truth for all the data in your stack. While Cortex offers 50+ out of the box integrations, and the ability to bring in custom data, we know there are occasions where you’ll also want to visualize or take action on data sourced from other places including internally developed tools or repositories. That’s why we’re excited to officially launch the Cortex plugin framework plus UI customization. Now users can.

Get familiar with "Rusty" kernel programming in Ubuntu Lunar Lobster

The Linux kernel has recently introduced the Rust programming language as an alternative to C for creating kernel modules. Rust is a strongly, statically typed programming language with a focus on memory safety features which produces extremely compact executable code. These properties, paired with its good tooling, make Rust a natural choice for creating many types of kernel modules, including device drivers, network protocols and filesystems.

Democratize Automation with AI-Generated Runbooks

Operational efficiency is as critical within the IT and engineering teams as any other part of the business. Automating repetitive tasks and reducing escalations within and to these teams is of immense value. While automation saves time and boosts productivity, the complexity of developing automation can be a limiting factor and bottleneck. Generative AI is a paradigm shift here, in that it brings consumer-style simplicity to assisting in the development of enterprise-grade automation.
