Pragmatic Engineer did a great deep dive on "Building MCP servers in the real world": https://lnkd.in/ghBu9fwV Great insights on the growing use of *internal* MCP servers, like for documentation, data analytics, debugging, issue triaging, etc. That's why MCP auth and networking is so important. I highly recommend the Pragmatic Engineer newsletter -- I finally upgraded to a paid subscription today, reimbursed by Microsoft in PD budget.

From “Why OCI” to “How OCI" How Oracle is helping customers migrate with speed, confidence, and hands-on support. In this video, I introduce "How OCI" is making cloud migration practical and achievable, combining automation, embedded engineering, and proven frameworks so customers can focus on outcomes while we help with the heavy lifting. Here are a few resources to get you started: 🔍 App Discovery (24–48 hrs, 3–5x faster than manual) #Matilda Marketplace: https://lnkd.in/gux4vyGj 🧭 Cloud Adoption Framework (no-cost, no-risk analysis + best practices) Framework overview:  https://lnkd.in/gWfewrBj 🔄 Migration at scale (automated, low disruption) VM Migration: https://lnkd.in/g54GGQ-e RackWare: https://lnkd.in/g-jNpkiJ Along with automated tooling, we embed cloud architects and engineers to accelerate migrations, and continue supporting customers long after cutover. I’ll be sharing more on each of these topics as we continue the discussion on "How OCI." ▶️ Watch the video, check out the links, and feel free to DM me with questions. More coming soon. #OCI

Cloud Advocate Lead Rick Claus catches up with Yash Shekar from our Windows Server engineering team to dig into one of the biggest performance boosts coming to Windows Server 2025: native NVMe support. They unpack what “native NVMe” really means, why it matters for modern SSD‑based enterprise storage, how to enable it, and what’s coming next—including capabilities in upcoming Windows Server Insider builds. If you’re running Windows Server today or planning your 2025 upgrades, this episode gives you a clear, practical look at how to unlock major IOPS gains, reduce CPU overhead, and streamline your storage stack for the next generation of hardware. https://msft.it/6042QzMVe

We've been exploring how AI can systematically scale best practices across organizations, and a key insight keeps emerging: success requires accurate, expert knowledge that's optimized for AI agents and delivered at the right moment in the SDLC. Giedrius is my go to API guru and has years of experience architecting APIs on AWS. He has captured his deep expertise in an example that goes beyond simple markdown files and steering docs. His solution builds a vectorised knowledge base of best practices, exposed through an MCP server, paired with a KIRO Power that intelligently guides the coding agents to access the right content at the right time. 🔗 Check out his implementation: https://lnkd.in/gHmc7Jz5 While his example focuses on API development, the architecture adapts to any domain. As we integrate context across visual design, architecture, development, deployments, security, and compliance, we're seeing central platform teams leverage these patterns to improve both efficiency and accuracy in developer tooling. The future of developer experience isn't just about better tools. It's about embedding institutional knowledge directly into the development workflow. What innovative approaches are you seeing for scaling best practices in your organization? #AI #DeveloperExperience #AWS #KIRO #BestPractices #PlatformEngineering
