Shipped: Break down AI spend by your projects and teams, within minutes

Your company talks about AI spend in its own terms, like projects, teams, and products. Now AI Signals can show AI spend in those terms, too. Write a CostFormation rule in CloudZero that groups AI spend by categories you care about, and the new breakdown appears in AI Signals the same day you decide to track it. There’s no waiting for a full processing cycle.

Building a resource optimization agent with Kubex: Patterns

The rise of large-language models (LLMs) that can understand and create text, and reason about problems has opened the door for software agents that use the reasoning power of LLMs to interact with the wider world and solve problems. At Kubex, our bread and butter is compute and GPU resource optimization, so it’s natural for us to ask how agents could help our customers more effectively optimize their resources.

How to Let AI Agents Operate Production Infrastructure Safely

Yes, it can be safe to let an AI agent change production infrastructure, if the agent works through the same controls you would demand of a new engineer: scoped permissions, short-lived credentials, a tamper-proof audit trail, changes that roll out gradually behind health checks, and a fast rollback. The infrastructure also has to be built so that one bad change cannot take everything down.

Cloud Outage Tracker: Major AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Cloudflare Outages Since 2020

Cloud Monitoring and Incident Response: A Guide to AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud

Effective cloud monitoring and incident response starts with understanding service health, collecting useful diagnostic data, and establishing a clear process for investigating and resolving problems. Whether you use AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or several providers, the goal is to understand how your systems are performing and take action when reliability is at risk. A dashboard showing healthy virtual machines does not necessarily mean customers can complete a transaction.
