In an era where hybrid environments and AI-driven innovations redefine enterprise operations, organizations face increasing complexity, disruption, and vulnerability in their systems. To overcome this growing challenge, Cisco and Splunk are working together to harness the power of AI to help customers ensure that digital resilience is an inherent part of their systems.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, “MCP” is probably a term you’ve heard thrown around in the AI space. Each of the editors and LLM providers have been racing to add and enhance their MCP support. Sentry was fortunate enough to be included in Anthropics release announcements for MCP.

Automation has always stirred up fears of job loss. For IT professionals, the conversation has only grown louder with the rise of AI. But the truth is that the future of IT is not about replacement—it’s about reinvention. For decades, IT has been defined by its firefighting: manually resolving tickets, managing endless alerts, and fielding repetitive service requests. These tasks are ripe for automation, but automation doesn’t eliminate the need for IT talent.

As organizations bring more AI and LLM workloads into production, the underlying GPU infrastructure that supports these workloads becomes even more critical in ensuring these workloads remain fast, reliable, and scalable. Inefficient GPU resource usage, for instance, can lead to longer runtimes and reduced throughput, negatively impacting overall model performance. Additionally, idle and underutilized GPUs can quickly drive up costs and lead to needless spending.

As development teams adopt AI-powered tools and build services that make use of AI agents, they want to extend their AI capabilities to incorporate familiar tools and observability data. However, AI agents struggle with regular API endpoints and frequently fail when parsing complex nested JSON hierarchies or incorrectly handling errors. As a result, these agents often fail to retrieve relevant results.

With the latest iteration of the GitKraken CLI, you can now connect to a local MCP server to deliver more functionality to your agent of choice. Whether you are using GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, or any other tool, you can now leverage the power of GitKraken’s MCP server to enhance your workflows.

Today’s IT environments span legacy infrastructure, multiple cloud platforms, and edge systems—each producing fragmented data, inconsistent signals, and hidden points of failure. This scale brings opportunity, but also operational strain: fragmented visibility, overwhelming alert noise, and slower time to resolution. With good reason, public and private sector organizations alike are moving beyond basic visibility, demanding hybrid observability that’s context-aware and action-oriented.
