Your Cloud Economics Pulse For February 2026

Feb 10, 2026 By Keith MacKenzie In CloudZero
Welcome to February’s Cloud Economics Pulse, CloudZero’s monthly look at cloud spend as AI moves from experiment to expectation. Last month, we closed out 2025 with a settling: provider shares locked in, compute softened, and AI claimed more of the mix (big surprise there). January confirmed those patterns weren’t year-end hustle and bustle. They signify a new baseline. Also, the Big Three (AWS, GCP, Azure) barely moved. They’re as entrenched as can be.

Kubernetes Vs. OpenStack: How They Differ, How They Work Together, And When To Use Each

Feb 10, 2026 By Lyne Carolyne In CloudZero
Kubernetes and OpenStack are not competitors. They operate at different layers of the stack and are often used together. OpenStack manages cloud infrastructure such as compute, storage, and networking. Kubernetes runs on top of that infrastructure to deploy, scale, and manage containerized applications. Teams often compare them as alternatives, but in practice, Kubernetes frequently runs on OpenStack.

We Measured AI Impact for 12 Months. Here's What Actually Happened.

Feb 10, 2026 By Anastasia Zamyshlyaeva In GitKraken
When we rolled out AI coding tools across our engineering team, the first few weeks felt great. Developers were enthusiastic. Acceptance rates looked healthy. Everyone said they felt more productive. Then my CEO asked me a simple question: “Is it working?” And I realized I didn’t have a good answer. Feeling productive and being productive are not the same thing.

"Crown Jewels In, Crown Jewels Out" - The Hidden Risk of AI

Feb 10, 2026 By Harness In Harness
How do you secure data in the age of Agentic AI? In this episode of ShipTalk, Dewan Ahmed sits down with Devan Shah, Chief Architect of Data Security at IBM, to explore the massive shift from traditional DevOps to AI-infused software delivery. Devan shares his journey from being a chef to leading an "army" of 450+ developers at IBM. They dive deep into the technical bedrock of IBM’s "OnePipeline" (built on Tekton and Argo CD), the rise of Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), and the architectural principles required to ship AI features without compromising security or compliance.

SharePoint Preservation Hold Library: Hidden Cost Trap

Feb 9, 2026 By Mark In SmiKar Software
Most executives assume that moving to Microsoft 365 simplifies cost control. Storage is “in the cloud”, usage is elastic, and governance is handled through policy. In reality, many organisations face a very different experience. They invest heavily in retention policies to meet legal and regulatory requirements, yet their SharePoint storage costs continue to rise year after year, even after large cleanup programs.

At GitKon 2025, our Senior Product Marketing Manager Jonathan Silva revealed 6 underused Git commands that solve the workflow problems developers face every day: botched rebases, lost commits, and merge conflict chaos. These aren’t advanced techniques.

Agentic AI in DevOps: The Architect's Guide to Autonomous Infrastructure | Harness Blog

Feb 9, 2026 By Aditya Kashyap In Harness
For the last decade, the holy grail of DevOps has been Automation. We spent years writing Bash scripts to move files, Terraform to provision servers, and Ansible to configure them. And for a while, it felt like magic. But any seasoned engineer knows the dirty secret of automation: it is brittle. Automation is deterministic. It only does exactly what you tell it to do. It has no brain. It cannot reason.
