Your data sits in the UK. But who has the final say over it? As AI raises the stakes on where data lives and who controls it, digital sovereignty has moved from policy debate to boardroom priority. At Civo Navigate London, Lord Paul Drayson, Simon Hansford, Richard Woodfield of DataVita, Dan Chester of VAST Data and Ed Barker of Havishams explore what sovereignty really means for governments, businesses and the infrastructure behind them, and what it will take for the UK to adopt AI without giving up control.

Your AI agent can read every log, metric and trace in seconds. It still can't tell you why things broke. At Civo Navigate London, James Herbert of groundcover explains why AI SRE agents need that context to travel the whole development lifecycle. He shows how agents embedded in the tools where software is built and run can move from isolated tasks to investigating and acting with the full picture.

Why did we do this? Not important: jump to 1:31 to see the Pis. TL;DR: We stuck Minecraft on kubernetes running on 4 Raspberry Pis in a 3D-Printed case, and monitored it with open source observability. Huge thanks to Percona DBA Ivan Zaitsev for putting the demo together for Percona University, Montevideo. Coroot automatically collects and visualizes all your telemetry data: logs, metrics, traces, profiles, and a complete map of your services. With the complete context of eBPF, it can diagnose the exact cause of an incident in seconds, and show you the exact commands to fix it.

On today's episode, Andrew Hillier chats with Sachin Gharge, Head of Cloud Platform at Scandinavian Airlines (SAS). They discuss AI, agents, Kubernetes, MCP, and optimization. Sachin shares how he and his team are optimizing cloud costs, leveraging automation, and experimenting with agentic AI, including bots and Slack integrations, to make operations easier and more effective for developers and the business.

The data centre was built for a different era. Racks drawing more power than entire rooms once did, heat that air alone can't carry away, and inference that needs to run close to the work are forcing a rethink from the ground up. In this fireside chat from Civo Navigate London, Civo CEO Mark Boost, Anthony Sarno and Josh Mesout explore how the demands of AI are reshaping the data centre and challenging traditional approaches to cloud infrastructure.

Check out how you can easily make use of multiple clouds or bare metal machine and any combination of those to serve as the compute underpinning your workloads on Cycle.

Everyone depends on open source. Far fewer agree on who should sustain it, what counts as "open", or what portability really means.

We are stoked to announce that we have released our very own hosted MCP that allows you to use natural language to interact with and control anything you have running on Cycle.io. Alexander Mattoni, CTO and co-founder of Cycle, shares a few scenarios where the MCP can be useful. With the MCP, Cycle users can communicate with the Cycle platform directly from their preferred AI tool. In minutes, users can provision a new server, deploy an application, or troubleshoot an issue directly from their AI assistant like Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT or Codex.
