Recapping SEV0 San Francisco 2025

Earlier this week, we gathered in San Francisco for our second SEV0—almost a year after our very first event. SEV0 has always been about shining a light on the biggest challenges (and opportunities) in incident response. Last year, we were still talking about the fundamentals: blameless culture, strong processes, and lessons from the best in reliability. This year felt different. AI has moved from background noise to front and center in every conversation, every team, everywhere.

Software Asset Management system for Modern Businesses

Managing software has become one of the most pressing challenges for modern organizations. Licenses span SaaS subscriptions, on-premise tools, and hybrid deployments, each carrying costs and compliance risks. Without structured oversight, audits turn into costly disruptions and budgets bleed through unused applications. This is why asset management software for small business and enterprise platforms alike are gaining traction.

Docker Daemon Logs: How to Find, Read, and Use Them

Sometimes Docker behaves in ways that catch you off guard—containers don’t start as expected, images pause during pull, or networking takes longer than usual to respond.

It’s helping teams manage costs, improve margins, and plan with confidence. But challenges remain.

Protecting Your Rights When Rideshare Safety Breaks Down

For many people, grabbing a rideshare after a night out at a brewery, pub, or beer festival feels like the responsible choice. Whether it is savoring a flight of craft ales, discovering a seasonal stout, or enjoying a local beer release with friends, using a rideshare ensures that the evening ends safely without the risk of drinking and driving. Yet recent reports of misconduct and abuse connected to rideshare drivers have revealed an unsettling truth. Even when making the smart choice, passengers can still face serious risks.

For staff in Houston who face a sudden bill, a local option like Net Pay Advance in Houston can help bridge a short-term gap without leaving work to find help. Used alongside basic money education and clear policies, timely access to credit can lower stress and keep teams steady.

Build on Your Microsoft SCOM Foundation

Enterprises that rely on Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) as their monitoring backbone often share an everyday reality: the bigger the environment, the bigger the challenges. Noisy alert storms can bury critical issues. Management Packs (MPs) require ongoing care and expertise to deliver accurate insights. And without consistent reporting, teams risk slipping into reactive fire-fighting instead of strategic monitoring.

DEX: How We Measure the Results of IT Actions

Every IT initiative has a clear purpose: to boost productivity, reduce failures, accelerate processes, or simply make things work better for people.

That's the difference between acting in the dark and acting intelligently. Without clear metrics, IT may be investing time and money in solutions that, in practice, bring little benefit - or even harm performance.
