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.

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.

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.

Ultimately, a system is reliable when customers and engineers can count on it. Full transcript:  When I get to hear stories like, "Hey, we just had our holiday sales event kick off and everything went smoothly and I didn't have to wake up in the middle of the night." That is really the true definition of reliability these people that are constantly hands-on keyboard in charge of making sure that people like myself and like you aren't impacted when we're going to, for example, buy a new pair of sneakers, or we're going to get some sort of limited edition release that's coming out, right?

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.
