The VM Boom For AI Agents | David Crawshaw Co-Founder & CEO, exe.dev
What happens when AI agents stop simply answering questions and start using computers of their own? It could create an entirely new boom in virtual machines. In this episode of Uplink, David Crawshaw, Co-Founder and CEO of exe.dev, joins host Michael Reid to explore the infrastructure behind the rapidly emerging world of AI agents. As agents become capable of writing code, running applications, operating tools, maintaining state, and working independently, they need more than access to an AI model. They need computing environments where they can actually get work done.

Log Filtering: How to Cut Log Ingest Volume Without Losing Evidence
Every log estate reaches a point where volume grows faster than the value inside it. The usual response is to find the biggest source and drop it. Cutting volume is the easy part. Cutting the right half takes judgment. Log filtering is only one of four options for an expensive source, and the other three matter just as much. In this blog, you will: By the end you can defend every rule you write, including the ones that keep data. A volume cut fails in two directions.
ITSM for Healthcare: IT Service Management in Hospitals and Health Systems
How long does a nurse stand at a workstation waiting for a record to load before the ward gives up and reaches for paper? In most hospitals nobody measures that number, and the ticket that reaches IT describes a symptom instead of a cause. Hospital IT support runs on a different clock from corporate IT. There is no quiet Sunday night and no safe window for maintenance.
Relational Query Superpowers
I'm investigating repeated errors in my e-commerce application, and I need to get enough context in a single Honeycomb query to piece the entire picture together. Each query returns events based on the event's WHERE clauses, but I want to know several things from outside of the event that recorded an error. Things like: Those attributes are all over the trace. That's going to make a single query tough, right? Wrong!
Two cats, two dogs, four vendors, and the model the AI couldn't find (Tech Talk Companion)
Tech Talks went dark for a few months, and on episode 13 I finally got to ask why. Mathias Palmersheim’s answer, delivered completely straight, was that his users were unhappy with the availability and usability of their feeders and their litter box, and he wasn’t allowed back on stream until that got fixed. The users are two dogs and two cats, and they have titles. Maisie, a Shiba Inu who came to him through a rescue, is the recently promoted chief executive pawofficer.
Data residency in 2026: what regulators now expect from your cloud, and how to prove it
Ask a compliance team where their EU customer data lives, and most will point confidently at a dashboard showing a Frankfurt or Dublin region. Ask their legal counsel whether that data is beyond the reach of a foreign government demand, and the confidence usually drops. Those are two different questions. Since 12 September 2025 there has been a dated EU obligation that turns on the second one rather than the first.
Container hardening isn't a substitute for artifact management
Hardened base images are a great secure foundation. They're minimal, security-vetted, and have few dependencies to worry about. But almost nobody ships a bare base image. Teams build on top of it. This video cover whys that "on top of it" layer is where the risk actually lives: Skip the base image hardening and you're building on a shaky foundation. Skip artifact management and you're leaving everything built on top of that foundation ungoverned. A strong posture uses both.
What is Backup and Disaster Recovery? A Complete Guide
Learn what backup and disaster recovery means, how BDR works, and why it matters for reducing downtime and data loss. Backup and disaster recovery (BDR) is what keeps data loss from becoming a business-wide catastrophe. And to protect their business, IT teams need to ask if they can recover the right data, in the right order, fast enough for the business to keep operating. A backup can preserve a copy of a file, database, or workload, but disaster recovery is what brings the wider service back online.
