Did we miss the end of LaMa?

Mar 26, 2026 By Avantra Team In Avantra
In mid-2024, SAP announced the discontinuation of SAP Landscape Management ("LaMa"). This wasn't a huge surprise, as the 2027 end-of-support date aligns neatly with Solution Manager, Focused Run and standard support for ECC. SAP also terminated work on SAP Landscape Management Cloud, discontinuing that product immediately. Responses to the post were as expected: customers asking, "What now?" and even expressing a bit of dismay. One response from SAP was especially telling: "Moving the ERP system to the cloud hands over the tasks realized with SAP Landscape Management to SAP as cloud vendor.

The Observability Gap: Why Monitoring Data Should Drive Tests

Mar 26, 2026 By Matt LeRay In Speedscale
Most teams already know a lot about production. They have dashboards. They have traces. They have alerts. They have enough telemetry to explain what happened after an incident and enough graphs to argue about it for the rest of the week. Then they go to test a change and start from scratch. The integration tests hit a hand-written mock that returns {"status": "ok"}. The load tests replay a CSV somebody exported months ago. Staging is close enough to production right up until it matters.

QA, AI, and the return of the adversarial mindset

Mar 26, 2026 By Cortex In Cortex
The best QA engineers are always asking themselves (and others around them) what might break. When engineering teams shifted to agile delivery, that mindset largely moved out of dedicated roles and into the background. Automated testing took over the repetitive work, developers owned quality end-to-end, and velocity improved. What didn't carry over was the habit of looking at a feature and asking how a real user, an edge case, or unexpected load might expose it.

Observability Is Now a Boardroom Priority Even If Nobody Wants to Say It Out Loud

Mar 26, 2026 By ScienceLogic In ScienceLogic
Executives rarely state the full truth publicly, but inside boardrooms the conversation has changed. Observability, once viewed as a technical capability deep within operations, has become a strategic requirement for understanding business performance. Leaders may not always use the term itself, yet they focus intensely on the outcomes it promises. Their environments have grown too fast, too fragmented, and too interdependent for traditional visibility approaches to keep pace.

Debunking the Myth of the Homogeneous Network

Mar 26, 2026 By Mehul Patel In Broadcom
If you have been in network operations for more than a week, you know the dream of the single vendor shop is exactly that, just a dream. In the practical reality of your daily job, the network is a diverse, chaotic ecosystem. It is a complex stack in which layers of technology from different times and vendors coexist, often uneasily.

Stop The Real Costs of Paper Documentation

Mar 26, 2026 By Rob DeStefano In Ivanti
Proof of condition — it’s been around for decades and serves to verify the integrity of everything from material goods to heavy equipment and myriad assets in between. A paper process from the beginning, it has been accompanied by photographs, rubber stamps, and signatures along the way. Still, hard to believe that a quarter way through the 21st century, with ubiquitous mobile device options, so many of these processes continue to reside on clipboards.

Monitoring Your App Without Running Your Own Prometheus Stack

Mar 26, 2026 By Osinachi Okpara In AppSignal
Prometheus and Grafana are the default monitoring recommendations across DevOps blogs, Reddit, and Hacker News, and for good reason. Prometheus is open-source and backed by the CNCF, but it’s not actually a complete monitoring system. It’s more of a metric collection engine.

AWS VPC Peering Vs. Transit Gateway: Which To Choose And Why [2026]

Mar 26, 2026 By Lyne Carolyne In CloudZero
VPC peering can be simple and cost-effective in smaller setups. For growing multi-account platforms, Transit Gateway can offer predictable structure and centralized governance. But that’s not all. AWS VPC peering connects two VPCs directly with no hourly fee — simple and cost-effective at small scale, but it creates an unmanageable mesh as your VPC count grows.

Jensen Huang's warning: lead the AI transition - or finance it

Mar 26, 2026 By Erik Peterson In CloudZero
The wrong people got the most attention from Jensen Huang’s comments last week. Huang told the All-In Podcast that he’d be “deeply alarmed” if a $500,000 engineer consumed less than $250,000 in AI tokens annually. Within 48 hours, the discourse collapsed into a compensation debate.
