Azure Monitor pricing: What you pay vs. what you get

Oct 1, 2026 By Grace Nalini In ManageEngine

Azure Monitor doesn't have a price. It has a bill and those are very different. There's no plan tier to pick, monthly set fee, or simple number to sanity-check against your budget. Instead, you're charged across a handful of separate meters: log ingestion, log queries, retention, alert rules, web tests, and custom metrics. Each of these metrics scale independently. Most teams don't see the full cost until the bill arrives.

Oct 1, 2026 By Upsun In Upsun

Most of what people mean when they ask "how does this actually work" comes down to three words used precisely: workflow, run, and gate. This is what each one is, and how they fit together.

Cycle's Hosted MCP Release Announcement

Oct 1, 2026 By Cycle Platform In Cycle

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.

Shipped: Get alerted when AI spend spikes, with the cause attached

Oct 1, 2026 By Kevin Lamb In CloudZero

AI spend now comes from every department, and it can double in a week without anyone deciding it should. The invoice arrives after the month closes. By then the usual response is a spend cap, which slows every team, including the ones getting real work done with AI. You need to know about spend that breaks its normal pattern while there’s still time to act. The alert should reach the person who can act on it, with proper context and detail.

Juggling AI tools works, until it does not

Sep 30, 2026 By Upsun In Upsun

This isn't a teardown. This stack is a genuinely reasonable way to start. An AI-first editor handles day-to-day writing. A terminal-based coding agent takes on tasks that need more autonomy: a full feature, a migration, a stubborn bug. A few scripts connect the pieces, trigger a run, and post a result somewhere. An observability tool checks what happened after the fact. Every part of that is a real, capable tool. For the first few months, on a small team, it works.

Sep 30, 2026 By LogicMonitor In LogicMonitor

Modern IT runs across public cloud, data centers, containers, SaaS, networks, and AI services.

Watch this AI agent find and fix performance bottlenecks

Sep 30, 2026 By Upsun In Upsun

Anyone can claim an AI agent will fix your performance problems. This demo shows exactly what it looks at and what it hands back. In this Product Highlights conversation, Sylvain Guittard, Senior Director of Product at Upsun who leads the team behind the Upsun console and CLI, runs the Upsun Cloud Performance Agent live on a demo project. His take: "You have a patch that is already available, and a recommendation, so you can see if it fits or not to your context." We get into.
