Hi, Riley Durham here. I’m an Event Marketing Manager and Social Media Marketer at Cortex, and I’m here to share how a culture of autonomy and excellence has opened doors for career growth at Cortex. Before joining Cortex, I worked in the DevSec tool space, wearing multiple hats managing events, demand generation, social media, and direct mail marketing. That variety gave me a solid foundation in full-funnel marketing, but it was joining Cortex that really accelerated my growth trajectory.

The Kubernetes platform is the standard for orchestrating containerized applications. It’s ideal for large applications running on distributed instances. However, monitoring Kubernetes infrastructure can be notoriously challenging. This guide will cover Kubernetes monitoring in more detail, including what metrics to track to improve visibility and control over your K8s containers, apps, microservices, etc.

The OpenTelemetry Collector is a stand-alone service that acts as a powerful, vendor-neutral pipeline for your telemetry data. It can receive, process, and export logs, metrics, and traces, giving you full control over your observability data before it reaches a backend. This guide will provide a comprehensive overview of the OpenTelemetry Collector, its architecture, deployment patterns, and how to configure it for production use.

As a Citrix consultant, not every issue I troubleshoot is directly tied to Citrix, but many of them dramatically impact the end-user experience. This is one of those cases. A customer had begun testing Windows Server 2025 as Multi-Session hosts in their environment. The new servers were domain-joined and fully patched, and they expected a smooth experience with Office 365, Entra ID–backed apps, and cloud-based authentication. Everything had worked flawlessly on Server 2022.

The aspirational target state for a cognitive system is to “take responsibility” for a domain (e.g., an autonomous car). To reach that level of sophistication, the system must achieve high levels of maturity simultaneously along two dimensions: Reasoning ability and Automation ability.

Apache Kafka has become the go-to platform for organizations handling high-throughput, real-time data streaming. Its ability to manage massive data volumes while ensuring reliability is second to none. However, as businesses grow and demand for data increases, scaling Apache Kafka isn’t always a walk in the park.

This discussion aims to address and debunk common fears associated with agentic AI.
