Workflows VM Start Stop Workflow

Aug 24, 2026 By Turbo360 In Turbo360

A dynamic alternative to static schedules. Define filters (subscription, resource group, tag) once, and matching VMs are automatically picked up, including new ones added later. Supports both metric-based triggers (e.g., CPU under 5% after 8pm) and time-based power on/off.

Scheduler Alert if savings not maintained

Aug 24, 2026 By Turbo360 In Turbo360

Alerts when a schedule has been disabled for longer than a set threshold (e.g., 7+ days). Solves the common failure mode where a team disables a shutdown schedule for maintenance and forgets to turn it back on, quietly costing money.

Reservations - Reservation Utilization Visualization

Aug 24, 2026 By Turbo360 In Turbo360

Time-series view of how consistently a reservation has been utilized and which resources are consuming it. Makes underutilization or coverage gaps visible at a glance instead of requiring manual investigation.

Shipped: Give your telemetry streams human-readable names

Aug 24, 2026 By Kevin Lamb In CloudZero

Telemetry streams carry the unit metrics behind every cost-per-unit number you report. Now each one can say in plain language what it measures. You can call a stream whatever you want to: “MCP tool calls” or “Checkout transactions” or “Documents processed.” Spaces, capitals, and punctuation all work, and you can change the name whenever the metric’s purpose gets clearer. The identifier the pipeline uses stays exactly where it is.

Migrate your app to Upsun Cloud without a rewrite

Aug 24, 2026 By Upsun In Upsun

Application migrations stall for a predictable reason: the demanding part is rarely the application code itself. It is the infrastructure around it: the deployment logic, pipeline, and environment configuration that has to be rebuilt. That surrounding work is what turns a migration into a multi-month project, and it is why teams stay on infrastructure that no longer serves them. Upsun Cloud reduces migration to a much smaller task.

Monitor Azure Functions across every hosting plan with Datadog

Aug 24, 2026 By Datadog In Datadog

Microsoft’s Azure Functions serverless compute service abstracts away infrastructure management to simplify how teams deploy and operate applications. However, the managed environment can make it harder to understand what happens inside those applications after deployment. Traditional approaches that rely on agents, extensions, and sidecars for direct collection of telemetry data aren’t available across every Azure Functions hosting plan, which can leave gaps in end-to-end visibility.

Minga's developers point AI tools at their own infrastructure

Aug 24, 2026 By Control Plane Corporation In Control Plane

Matt Zytaruk, VP of Technology at Minga, on what changed once his developers could point their AI tools at their own infrastructure. Minga checks in 1.5 million students across the eastern seaboard every school morning. They run that platform on Control Plane, which gives their team an MCP server, a CLI, and Terraform-native resources — so a developer can investigate an issue and generate the code for the change without waiting on anyone.

Cloud Migration for Financial Services Operations

Aug 24, 2026 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters

The financial services industry, traditionally cautious and reliant on legacy on-premise infrastructure, is now decisively shifting its operations to the cloud. This migration is driven by the urgent need for greater agility, improved operational efficiency, and the capacity to innovate at the speed of a rapidly changing market. Moving beyond simple data storage, financial institutions are re-architecting their core functions to harness the full potential of cloud computing, transforming everything from customer-facing applications to back-office transaction processing.

Overlapping Subnets: When Duplicate CIDRs Create Risk

Aug 23, 2026 By Amber Weaver In Tidal

An overlapping subnet can sit quietly for years - until two networks need to connect. A duplicate CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing), an IP address range such as 10.0.0.0/24, may cause you no immediate trouble while networks remain isolated. During an expansion, acquisition, or cloud migration, however, that same overlap can become a connectivity blocker. Cloud peering is one place where the issue becomes unavoidable.

Sovereign cloud and open source: Why software freedom matters for digital sovereignty

Aug 21, 2026 By Civo Team In Civo

The sovereign cloud conversation has been dominated by physical location and legal jurisdiction. Both matter. But there's a third leg most discussions skip: the software stack itself. If the platform running a sovereign cloud is proprietary code controlled by a company in another country, its sovereignty has a soft underside.
