What is an AI sandbox? A developer's guide

Jul 28, 2026 By Roger Winter In CircleCI
An AI sandbox is an isolated environment where code from an AI coding agent runs without direct access to your machine or your production systems. If the agent runs a destructive command or a mistaken script, the damage stays contained inside the sandbox. Developers use AI sandboxing to let agents execute code freely while keeping the host and its credentials out of reach.

Bring Your Own VLAN: Moving VMs to Kubernetes Without Changing a Single IP

Jul 28, 2026 By Veronika Smolik In Tigera
For many organizations, modernizing their VMs before migrating them is not a realistic option, especially when external events trigger the migration. Mapping dependencies and refactoring network configurations before the deadline is impractical, forcing VMs to move as they are. The mechanics of moving a VM are largely solved.

9 Best Log File Analysis Tools for IT and DevOps Teams

Jul 28, 2026 By Poonam Lalani In Motadata
An incident is open and the evidence is scattered. The application logs point to a connection timeout; the load balancer shows nothing unusual, and the container that produced the original error was replaced eighteen minutes ago. Three engineers are logged into three separate hosts running the same search, and the log line that would explain it has already rotated away. That is the moment most teams start shopping for a log file analysis platform.

10 Best IT Operations Management Tools (ITOM) Compared for 2026

Jul 28, 2026 By Ramya Shah In Motadata
No IT team sets out to run ten monitoring tools. It happens one purchase at a time. You add a network monitor after one outage, a server monitoring tool after the next, then a log analyzer, then an APM product when the app team gets tired of guessing. Then something breaks, and every one of those tools has an opinion. Each fires its own alerts. None of them agrees on the cause, and the first hour of the incident goes to deciding which screen to believe.

The Gremlin app for Dynatrace: resilience testing and reliability scoring, built on the observability you already trust

Jul 28, 2026 By Ryan Detwiller In Gremlin
Dynatrace gives engineering teams deep, real-time visibility into every service they run. That visibility is the foundation of every effective reliability practice, and it's exactly the foundation Gremlin is built to extend. Once you can see how your distributed systems behave today, the next step is knowing how they'll behave under failure tomorrow—and to do it before those failures happen.

The New AI Mandate: Smarter Usage, Lower AI Compliance Risk, Better Outcomes

Jul 28, 2026 By Shawn Lazarus Senior Product Marketing Manager In Nexthink
For the last two years, enterprise AI strategy has largely revolved around one message: use AI as much as possible. CIOs encouraged experimentation, CFOs approved budgets, and organizations pushed employees to adopt tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, and Gemini in the hope that productivity gains would naturally follow. The prevailing assumption was that simply increasing usage would accelerate innovation and unlock efficiency across the organization. But the enterprise conversation is changing quickly.
