Navigating the geopolitical maze of digital sovereignty at Civo Navigate London 2025
Trust in Big Tech is eroding. Geopolitical tensions are rising. The only predictable thing about the cloud today is that it’s time to re-evaluate everything. At Civo Navigate London 2025, we pulled together a panel of industry experts to cut through the noise and finally define what digital sovereignty means for the UK.
Postmortems: What We Learned When Container Vulnerability Scanning Was Missing
In the world of cloud-native development, containers are the bedrock of agility and scale. They allow teams to package applications and their dependencies into a single, portable unit that runs consistently across any environment. But this convenience comes with a hidden risk. Every container image is built from layers, and each layer-from the base operating system to the application libraries-can harbor vulnerabilities. Forgetting to implement robust security measures for these containers is a lesson many companies learn the hard way.
The hidden costs of "free" cloud credits: A wake-up call for businesses
To read the full findings from this research, visit our whitepaper "Decoding Cloud Credits" by clicking here. The allure of "free" cloud credits can be tempting, but beneath the surface lies a complex web of risks and consequences that can ultimately lock businesses into costly and restrictive cloud ecosystems. Our latest whitepaper, "Decoding Cloud Credits", explores the true costs of these promotional offers and the implications for businesses.
Data Sovereignty + AI: How Civo's New Cloud Gives You Full Control
We spot the tipping point: AI is reshaping every industry and data has become the new oil. From law firms to pharma labs, SaaS stacks to even a secret chicken recipe, today’s most valuable info is trapped in a handful of hyperscalers with almost no governance. Our UK‑based survey of 1,000 IT leaders shows the pressure is real. Most are ready to abandon big‑tech for true control and sovereignty. Civo’s answer is a new kind of cloud: built from the ground up, 100 % data‑sovereignty, and designed for more value, simplicity, and flexibility.
EKS Pricing And Cost Optimization (2025 Guide)
AWS did not intend to build Amazon EKS; it simply had to. Kubernetes adoption beamed light years ahead of AWS’s own managed container orchestration service. This forced AWS to develop a managed service to accommodate customers who wanted to use upstream Kubernetes but did not want to manage it themselves. As soon as AWS got around to it, it knocked the Kubernetes-based container management service out of the park. Not only is Amazon EKS simpler than Kubernetes, but EKS pricing may also be worth it.
What we learnt from our panel discussion on AI in the UK
At Civo Navigate London 2025, we hosted a panel discussion with Josh Mesout, James Faure, Abdul Hummaida, Jonas Vermeulen, and Daniel Miodovnik to discuss the latest trends and challenges in AI adoption. Through this conversation, the panelists covered topics such as the current state of AI adoption to the challenges of scaling AI, and the future of work.
What's New in Calico v3.31: eBPF, NFTables, and More
We’re excited to announce the release of Calico v3.31, which brings a wave of new features and improvements. For a quick look, here are the key updates and improvements in this release.
Why your Kubernetes clusters and GPUs should live under one roof
The world remains abuzz with AI hype, but the reality is that most modern applications aren’t purely AI workloads. The average company will have web services, APIs, databases, and background jobs running alongside its machine learning inference or training components. An architecture question everyone faces: should your Kubernetes cluster and GPU compute live in the same data center, or can you split them across providers?
Kubernetes monitoring & observability trends 2026 | Future of Kubernetes observability
Kubernetes continues to dominate as the container orchestration standard, but the way we monitor and observe clusters is rapidly evolving. As we head into 2026, Kubernetes monitoring is moving toward actionable insights, cost-aware observability, and security-first approaches. This blog dives deep into what engineers, architects, and platform teams should watch for in the year ahead — with real-world examples for context.
