We’re excited to announce that immutable tags are now available for the Bitbucket Packages container registry. With immutable tags, workspace admins can set container image tags from being overwritten, moved, or modified after they’re first pushed.

The latest Apache ActiveMQ releases – 5.19.7 and 6.2.6, both from May 27 – are good releases to apply. They close known dependency CVEs and tighten the broker’s default posture. (We covered the full list of changes in our release overview.) But here’s the catch with any “secure-by-default” update: hardening defaults means turning things off.

On May 27, the Apache ActiveMQ project shipped two releases on the same day: 5.19.7 and 6.2.6. Look at the changelogs side by side and the story is clear — this isn’t a feature drop. It’s a coordinated security-hardening pass applied to both maintained branches of ActiveMQ Classic at once, with the same fixes deliberately backported so that no supported line is left behind.

A single leaky application can crash your entire IBM MQ estate by consuming OS resources through unclosed connections. Traditional monitoring misses these silent killers. Learn how proactive observability detects OPPROCS anomalies before they trigger infrastructure failures.

Welcome to this blog series which explores innovative uses of Ubuntu Core. Throughout this series, Canonical’s Engineers will show what you can build with our releases, highlighting the features and tools available to you. In this blog, Asa Mirzaieva, engineer from the Silicon Alliances team, will show you how to deploy optimised AI models on Renesas RZ/V series hardware using the Dynamically Reconfigurable Processor for AI (DRP-AI).

If you manage endpoints for a living, you'll know the problem isn't a lack of data. It's that there's too much of it, scattered across too many places. A modern IT team or MSP might be looking after thousands of devices spread across dozens of customer organizations, each generating a constant stream of alerts, patch results, antivirus events and disk warnings. NinjaOne does a great job of collecting all of that.

CostFormation is how your organization models cost allocation. As more teams adopt it, protecting that logic matters. RBAC for CostFormation Namespaces lets you scope access at the namespace level, so the right people can view and edit Dimensions, and everyone else can’t.

Building automated workflows that adapt to real-world complexity can be a challenge. As systems scale and scenarios multiply, teams often end up hardcoding endless logic branches just to handle every potential outcome. That’s why we’re introducing Bits Agent Builder, a powerful new tool that lets you create custom AI agents that are fully hosted by Datadog.

IP over Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (IPoDWDM) is a network architecture that integrates optical transmission capabilities directly into IP networking equipment such as routers and switches. This approach represents a significant evolution from traditional network designs, where IP and optical layers were managed as separate domains with distinct hardware and operational teams.
