We’re proud to present Cortex 3.5 🚀 which supports Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud and AWS expanding Enterprise AI context to MAX-level in Cortex. We released Cortex 2.5 with Enterprise AI earlier in January with connections to GitHub, Atlassian, Slack, Azure DevOps, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and Google search. Cortex 3.2, launched two weeks ago, added AWS support to Cortex.
This new release brings 40+ AI Agents, 12+ connectors and 300+ operational capabilities with MCP connections ✨. Cortex is entering a new era with secure connections to all your cloud services, in addition to the most popular code versioning ecosystems, Project Management and Developer Productivity suites.
🌐 Multicloud Support
With Cortex 3.2, we added popular cloud services from Amazon such as IAM, RDS, S3, CloudWatch, EC2, DynamoDB, VPC, along with limited support for CloudFront, SNS and AWS Lambda.
Cortex 3.5, now adds Google Cloud MCP with the capability to control and obtain context from:
- ⚙️ Compute & Containers: Compute Engine, GKE, Cloud Run, App Engine, and Cloud Functions.
- 📊 Data & Analytics: BigQuery, Dataflow, Dataproc, Pub/Sub, and Cloud Composer.
- 🤖 AI & Machine Learning: Vertex AI, Vertex AI Search, Cloud GPUs, and Dialogflow.
- 💾 Storage & Databases: Cloud Storage, Cloud SQL, AlloyDB, Spanner, Bigtable, and Firestore.
- 🔐 Networking & Security: VPC, Cloud Load Balancing, IAM, Secret Manager, and Cloud Armor.
- 📡 Operations & Management: Cloud Logging, Monitoring, Trace, Asset Inventory, and Resource Manager.
- 🧰 Developer Tools: Artifact Registry, Cloud Build, and Database Migration Service.
On the Microsoft Azure front, Cortex can control and obtain context from the most popular Azure services such as:
- Compute: Azure Virtual Machines, Azure Container Instances (ACI).
- Kubernetes: Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).
- Serverless: Azure Functions, Azure App Service.
- Databases: Azure SQL Database, Cosmos DB, Azure Database for PostgreSQL.
- AI/ML: Azure OpenAI Service, Azure AI Search.
- Storage: Azure Blob Storage, Azure Files.
- Networking: Virtual Networks (VNet), Network Security Groups (NSG). ☁️
You can control these services, query and manage state seamlessly from the chat interface 💬. Critical enterprise context and data from all these services can be seamlessly ingested into your coding and security workflows to make them even more effective.
Being a part of all three startup programs – Microsoft and Google for Startups and AWS Startups programs, we felt obligated to enhance our relationship further 🤝. With Cortex 3.5, we have expanded Cortex’s capabilities to interoperate with the most popular Office Productivity suites, Enterprise and Cloud services, project management and collaboration tools. We deeply appreciate and value our software industry connections and partnerships and aim to further enhance our product offerings with these partnerships.
