That's Not a Job for an LLM: The Right Way to Apply AI to Network Operations

LLMs have sucked all the oxygen out of the AI conversation — but AI is much more than just LLMs, and network engineers have been using AI techniques (machine learning, statistics, fuzzy logic, expert systems, neural networks) for decades. So what should LLMs be doing in network operations, what shouldn't they be doing, and how do agentic AI architectures fit in?

90% AI Adoption. Still Failing. DORA Explains Why.

AI adoption is nearly universal. So why are most teams still struggling? In this session from GitKon, Nathen Harvey, head of DORA at Google Cloud, shares findings from the 2025 DORA State of AI-Assisted Software Development report, drawing on data from nearly 5,000 developers worldwide. The answer isn't more AI. It's what surrounds it.

Debug Live Production Apps in Codex with Lightrun MCP

Lightrun’s Dan Putman demonstrates the power of the latest Lightrun MCP skill. Watch how your AI code agent can now debug live applications directly in production. By connecting OpenAI's Codex to real-time runtime data via the Lightrun MCP, engineers can now generate and validate hypotheses using live telemetry and snapshots, without breaking flow. Ready to bring runtime context to your AI agents?

Live Runtime Investigation in Claude Code with Lightrun MCP

In this video, Lightrun’s Dan Putman demonstrates what happens when Lightrun MCP is integrated within Claude Code. See how, once activated, Claude can ask specific questions about what services it can see and instrument in order to perform a deep investigation in production to get to a validated root cause analysis without the friction of redeploying or switching contexts.

SRE agent vs. traditional engineer: 7 key differences

The role of a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) is evolving. The focus has shifted from simply working harder during an outage; A new kind of teammate is here to help: the SRE Agent. But what are the key differences when you compare an SRE agent versus a traditional site reliability engineer? This isn’t just a superficial change. It signifies a fundamental alteration in how teams construct and sustain dependable services.

Understanding disaggregated GenAI model serving with llm-d

llm-d is an open source solution for managing high-scale, high-performance Large Language Model (LLM) deployments. LLMs are at the heart of generative AI – so when you chat with ChatGPT or Gemini, you’re talking to an LLM. Simple LLM deployments – where an LLM is deployed to a single server – can suffer from latency issues, even with just one user. This can be because of lack of memory-bandwidth on the server, or because of KV cache pressure on system memory.

Eliminate Manual Authentication Configuration for Fast & Effective API Security Scanning | Harness Blog

Application security testing tools promise coverage and accuracy, but teams often struggle just to get started. One of the biggest friction points in dynamic application security testing is configuring authentication correctly so a scanner can even access a target application, let alone API endpoints that power the functionality. Whether it’s API keys, bearer tokens, or custom auth flows, setting up authentication for scans frequently requires trial-and-error and engineering support.
