Shipped: Turn your Bifrost gateway into an AI spend meter

If you route model traffic through Bifrost, you already have the hard part: one place every AI call passes through, where the model, the tokens, and the cost are visible on the way past. It’s the cheapest spot in your stack to measure AI spend. What’s missing is everything downstream – today that usage only becomes “spend” weeks later, when the provider invoice lands as a lump sum you can’t break apart.

Managing DHCP Across Distributed Networks

Managing DHCP across distributed networks gets messy fast. Lease activity changes constantly. Naming conventions drift. Infrastructure changes happen independently across locations. Before long, your team no longer has a complete view of what’s happening across the network. What started as a straightforward service becomes a records problem with real operational consequences.

Sovereign cloud for financial services: Meeting FCA and PRA requirements with UK infrastructure

Financial services in the UK operates under one of the most demanding regulatory frameworks in the world. The FCA and PRA between them set expectations for operational resilience, outsourcing, data governance, and concentration risk that shape every infrastructure decision a regulated firm makes. Cloud adoption in the sector has happened, but it's happened under regulatory scrutiny that's grown steadily more pointed over the last several years.

CloudWatch Logs to S3: The Easy Way

Many organizations use Amazon CloudWatch to analyze log data, but find that restrictive CloudWatch log retention issues hold them back from effective troubleshooting and root-cause analysis. As a result, many companies may be looking for effective ways to export CloudWatch logs to S3 automatically. Let's look at some of the reasons why you might want to export CloudWatch logs to S3 in the first place, along with some Amazon-native and open-source tools to help you with the process.

Difference Between Elasticity and Scalability in Cloud Computing

In cloud computing, teams use elasticity and scalability as if they mean the same thing. In reality, the two describe different ways a system handles load, and they solve different problems. Mixing them up can be very expensive. You either pay for capacity that sits idle, or your app buckles the moment traffic spikes, and the bill and the incident report both feel it.

Cloud freedom with AI built in

Most cloud providers give you the hardware and leave you to figure out the rest. Civo AI is different. Chief Innovation Officer Josh Mesout explains how Civo thinks strategically about AI adoption, guiding organisations through the full lifecycle from planning and infrastructure through to running and scaling workloads, powered by best-in-class NVIDIA GPUs.

AI ROI Dispatches: How a non-engineer solved a $300K problem for under $1K

A year ago, the sentence “I just deployed an app on GitHub” wouldn’t have made sense coming from me. I’m the VP of People at CloudZero; code deployments and I were not close friends. That’s changed. In this AI era, non-engineers are building, and I think that’s a genuinely good thing. But only if it’s tied to something that matters.

Shipped: LiteLLM is probably under-counting your Claude spend

If you run Claude through LiteLLM, some of that spend is probably going uncounted – and you can’t see it, precisely because the data isn’t there. Routing through a gateway is messier than it looks: LiteLLM alone can carry Claude several ways – the OpenAI-compatible endpoint, and the Anthropic pass-through proxy that the native SDK and Claude Code use – and each path describes the same call differently.
