Since then, IDC, Gartner and a host of vendor surveys have tracked an increase in this intention.

FinOps KPIs for IT Infrastructure: A Practical Field Guide for Cost Visibility

Infrastructure cost visibility has become a critical part of IT decision-making. Performance still matters, but for many infrastructure leaders, that’s no longer the full conversation. Leadership teams increasingly want clarity around cost movement, upgrade exposure, underutilized resources, and whether infrastructure decisions are financially defensible.

Using Bootc to Manage Ubuntu Hosts | Ubuntu Summit 26.04

What if you could manage your Ubuntu hosts the same way you manage your containerized applications? Managing Ubuntu hosts traditionally means configuration management, package updates, and drift control using tools like Puppet, Chef, or shell automation. Bootc streamlines the process. A Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) Sandbox project, bootc lets you define your Ubuntu systems as OCI container images and deploy them consistently across bare metal, virtual machines, edge devices, or cloud environments.

Introducing Workshop: launch sandboxed development environments on Ubuntu with a single command
