Continuing my adventure to have Monitive being run by AI Agents, I had some brainstorming sessions with... well... AI. I was impressed about the maturity of the discussions one can have with ChatGPT 5.1 Pro and Claude Code Opus 4.5.

Provisioning cloud resources shouldn’t require a second stack of tools. With Qovery’s new Terraform and OpenTofu support, you can now define and deploy your infrastructure right alongside your applications. Declaratively, securely, and in one place. No external runners. No glue code. No tool sprawl.

Your app feels slow, users complain… but your dashboard says response time is totally fine! But the real pain is revealed when looking at percentiles. In this post, we’ll break down why the 95th percentile response time metric is useful, plus how to work with it in practice. ‍

Information dominance has become key to battlefield success. The evolution from Network-Centric Warfare to Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) and JADC2 is all about connecting drones, sensors, weapon-systems and decision-makers, across land, air, sea, cyber, and space… in real time. Read about the journey, principles and building blocks, and how Ribbon Communications’ solutions are in the middle of it.

One year ago, at AWS re:Invent, we launched CloudZero Advisor, a free, standalone AI assistant that enables anyone to ask questions about cloud spend in plain language. It was the first experiment of its kind in FinOps, a chance to see what people really wanted to know when cost data finally became conversational. Over the past year, Advisor has become a learning engine.

As the year winds down, I find that most cybersecurity and compliance teams are focused on closing projects, hitting targets, and maybe even planning a well-earned break. But regulators? They don’t take holidays. FCA, PRA, GDPR – they remain vigilant, and so should you. For IT leaders, this season often feels like walking a tightrope: balancing operational demands with the relentless need for compliance.

Over the last few years, AI has quietly shifted from a fascinating experiment to a core operational system. Enterprises aren’t just building prototypes anymore — they’re deploying LLMs into production environments where uptime directly affects customer interactions, revenue flows, and business continuity. AI has essentially become a new layer of critical infrastructure. Because of that shift, the definition of “reliability” is changing.

At KubeCon, we asked a simple question at our booth: "How much is your service mesh costing you?" The answers were eye-opening. Engineers shared stories of 40% resource overhead, multi-second latency spikes during peak traffic, and infrastructure bills that had nearly doubled since mesh adoption. One architect told us they were spending more time managing their mesh than building features.
