Secret Manager Integration: One Source of Truth for Humans and Agents.

Production secrets should live in one place and stay there, whether your next deployment is triggered by a developer or an AI agent. The Secret Manager integration connects AWS Secrets Manager, AWS SSM, or GCP Secret Manager to Qovery so secrets are referenced, never copied, and enterprise governance holds regardless of who deploys. Alessandro leads product at Qovery. He drives the changelog, roadmap, and product strategy - turning customer feedback into platform capabilities.

The Two-Sided Scheduling Problem: Reaching the Next Layer of Cloud Savings

You’ve deployed Karpenter or Cluster Autoscaler and tightened your resource requests, but while you saw an initial dip in your cloud bill, your savings have flatlined. Organizations that thought they had the fundamentals of cloud cost under control are now seeing stagnation. The problem isn’t that they need another FinOps tool or better visibility. The problem is that the current state of enterprise cloud cost optimization strategy is fundamentally reactive.

The Inference Paradox: How Split-Brain LLMs Are Killing Your GPU ROI

During the Toronto KCD (Kubernetes Community Days), I attended an insightful talk on AI resource optimization that highlighted a staggering Gartner study: “AI infrastructure is adding $401 billion in new spending this year alone. Yet, real-world audits tell a much darker story, revealing that average GPU utilization in the enterprise is stuck at a dismal 5%”. While many people in the audience were shocked by that number, the data didn’t come as a surprise to us.

A field guide to the agents in your cluster

You know every service in your cluster by name. You know which team owns each one, what it talks to, how it scales, where its logs go. The agents are a different story. That’s not a criticism, it’s an observation, and it’s one we keep running into. Every company we talk to is shipping agents of some kind, from scales of 10s to 1000s. Customer service bots that field tier-one tickets. Internal copilots that draft emails and summarise meetings and write the boring half of every PR.

Five Principles of an Accountable AI Agent Network: How to Evaluate Any Governance Platform

The first post in this series argued that AI agent governance hasn’t kept pace with deployment. The second laid out the five pillars of accountability, and what is required. The third walked through why network policies, API gateways, MCP/A2A protocols, DIY security patterns, and Role-based Access Control (RBAC) each leave critical accountability gaps. So what does good look like? The five pillars define what AI agent accountability requires.

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.

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.
