The digital landscape is evolving at a rapid pace, and businesses are constantly seeking agile, high-performance connectivity solutions to stay ahead. Recognising this, data centres are shifting beyond their traditional role of offering just space and power. Today, they must deliver real-time access to clouds, other data centres, and applications.

Software teams rely on CI/CD pipelines to build, test, and deploy code quickly. But when a build fails, it can disrupt the entire workflow. Digging through logs, chasing down errors, and switching between dashboards takes time you don’t want to waste. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to use your AI coding assistant — powered by structured data from your CI system — to diagnose and fix build failures faster.

Using server-side telemetry to understand what’s going on inside your system is incredibly valuable, but what about the responsiveness the user actually sees? In this post, I’ll cover what synthetic monitoring is and show an example of how you can create a simple monitor using OpenTelemetry, .NET, and an Azure function. If you only want to see how it’s built, skip ahead to building a synthetic monitor.

Effectively managing events and alerts is essential for preventing or quickly resolving incidents, whether it’s a sudden service outage or an ongoing cyberattack.
