KubeCon Atlanta Signals Key Shift: From Cloud Cost To Value Engineering

Nov 18, 2025 By Keith MacKenzie In CloudZero
After three days of demos, sessions, and hallway conversations at KubeCon Atlanta, one thing became clear to CloudZero CTO Erik Peterson: the cloud-native world is shifting from cost control to value engineering.

When Bots Grow Brains: RPA and Agentic AI For the Win

Nov 18, 2025 By Ari Stowe In Resolve
For a long time, robotic process automation (RPA) was the fastest way to scale repetitive digital work. Bots copied, clicked, and executed rule-based tasks faster than any human. They reduced error rates and delivered early wins for efficiency. Sounds just fine, right? Prepare for a Matrix moment, because the truth is that IT teams built RPA only for predictability. It could follow instructions, but it couldn’t adapt when something unexpected happened.
