The 2026 Observability Survey from Grafana Labs heard from over 1,300 engineers and leaders across 76 countries on the real-world role of AI in observability. The data reveals a sharp distinction between intelligence and autonomy — and a critical blind spot most teams have.

Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics are missing one — and when it comes to testing and observing AI, Nicole van der Hoeven argues that missing rule changes everything: before a robot can avoid harm, obey orders, or protect itself, there has to be a Zeroth Law: a robot must be observable. Because if you can't see what a system is doing, you have no way of knowing whether it's following any rule at all.

Managing MongoDB database changes shouldn't require manually creating and maintaining changelogs. In this video, you'll learn how Harness Database DevOps automatically generates MongoDB changelogs, helping teams capture existing database changes and bring them into version control for reliable CI/CD workflows. As a modern **database schema migration tool**, Harness Database DevOps helps teams automate database change management across relational and NoSQL databases, reducing manual effort and deployment risk.

Cortex co-founder and CTO Ganesh Datta sits down with Dinesh Sukhija, Director of Engineering at Okta, to discuss how AI is reshaping the relationship between platform engineering, SRE, and security.

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.
