Centralize DHCP Visibility with the Windows Discovery Agent

Your Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server already knows what’s connected to your network. The problem is that DHCP data rarely stays aligned with the rest of your infrastructure systems. Instead, it becomes fragmented across Windows servers, branch offices, spreadsheets, and disconnected operational tools. Lease data ages, assignments go untracked, and teams lose confidence in their network inventory.

Mainframe DevOps: Modern CI/CD for Big Iron | Harness Blog

For Platform Engineering teams, the goal has always been clear: build a secure, scalable internal developer platform that reduces cognitive load and accelerates time-to-market. Yet, a massive obstacle often remains hidden in plain sight: the mainframe. While your distributed teams are shipping cloud-native microservices multiple times a day, your core backend mainframe applications frequently remain locked in an isolated silo, lagging behind on slow monthly or quarterly cadences.

How to Size Infrastructure When Hardware Delays and Cost Pressure Change the Equation

Sizing infrastructure has always required a balance between performance, capacity, and risk. What has changed is the level of precision required to make those decisions. Hardware timelines are less predictable. Costs are under closer review. Decisions that were once routine now require clear justification. In many cases, the question is no longer just how much capacity is needed, but whether that capacity can be delivered when it is needed and whether the investment will hold up under scrutiny.

Coding Agents Write the Code. Who Verifies It Works? We Built the Answer.

Coding agents are good at reading a spec and producing code. But producing code is one step in a longer process. The real loop is Spec -> Code -> Deploy -> Test -> Verify -> Ship. Agents stop at step two. Romaric founded Qovery to make Kubernetes accessible to every engineering team. He writes about platform strategy, developer experience, and the future of cloud infrastructure.

Enforce Artifact Governance with OPA Policy-as-Code | Harness Artifact Registry

Artifact governance should not depend on manual checks. But for many teams, container images, software packages, and open-source dependencies are imported into registries from multiple internal and external sources. Without automated guardrails, vulnerable images, untrusted packages, end-of-life dependencies, or non-compliant artifacts can reach developers and delivery pipelines.

Who really controls your data?

Digital sovereignty has moved from buzzword to boardroom priority. But most organisations are still asking the wrong question. Civo CEO Mark Boost cuts through the noise. Digital sovereignty isn't about marketing; it's about jurisdiction, accountability, and operational certainty. And it starts with where your data is hosted and how it's processed. Civo's UK Sovereign Cloud delivers public cloud, private cloud, and AI services, hosted and operated exclusively within the United Kingdom, under UK legal authority, with no exposure to foreign control.
