The cloud shouldn't be two separate worlds. Civo delivers total cloud parity, the same features, APIs, and experience across public and private cloud. Powered by CivoStack, you can seamlessly move workloads anywhere, and with Konstruct, deploy alongside AWS, Azure, and Google. True multicloud freedom. No compromises. More control.

This video introduces the new REST Collector Diagnostics feature in Cribl, which helps you troubleshoot API collection issues faster. It’s designed for observability and data engineers who use REST Collector to pull data from external APIs and need deeper visibility into HTTP requests, responses, and errors.

What used to be $50 a month is now $3,000 — overnight. Microsoft just moved GitHub Copilot to token-based billing, and devs are split between calling it a "rug pull" and admitting someone always had to pay the bill. Here's the part that should worry every engineering leader: most can't tell you what percentage of their AI-generated code actually ships, or where the tokens went. When the meter is running on every prompt, "it feels productive" isn't good enough — you need to know that bug cost you $2,700 in tokens to fix.

What is uPKI? While web browsers automatically check if an HTTPS certificate has been revoked, other Linux command-line tools and applications usually skip this check. That leaves applications vulnerable to compromised or misissued certificates many months after this is discovered. In their talk, Joe Birr-Pixton and Dirkjan Ochtman will be introducing uPKI: a new effort to bring browser-grade certificate infrastructure to Linux. This effort is funded by Canonical, engineered by the maintainers of rustls, and builds on foundational work from Mozilla.

Learn how to configure Ubuntu at launch using declarative, idempotent instructions stored in a version-controlled YAML file. In this talk, Rajan explains how this approach minimizes arbitrary commands, reduces risks of command injection and privilege escalation, and ensures validation and error handling. This is relevant on major public and private clouds, and virtualization solutions ranging from VMware, WSL, LXD, Multipass, Proxmox, and more.

Minga checks in 1.5 million students across the eastern seaboard by 8:30 AM Eastern — then lets that infrastructure wind down an hour later. After migrating to Control Plane, they cut infrastructure costs 30–40% and traded fragile, manual scaling for a platform that scales itself.

AI can write a feature in seconds, but where are you testing it? Sending production traffic, API payloads, and auth headers to a third-party SaaS is a massive security risk. In this video, we break down why the Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) model is the ultimate fix for DevSecOps. Learn how to safely test AI-generated code against real production traffic entirely within your own VPC or Kubernetes cluster. No data leaks, no massive DLP pipelines, and no endless masking rules.

Hear how Kentik uses AI to validate AI and catch 90%+ of bad networking answers before users ever see them.
