Azure UK is full. Like full full. There's no additional quota available in any UK region, meaning no new VMs or AKS clusters can be created.

"In agentic environments, agents mutate state across data, systems, and configurations in ways that compound fast and are hard to trace," says Pranay Ahlawat, Chief Technology and AI Officer at Commvault.

Uber's engineering team has transformed its data replication platform to move petabytes of data daily across hybrid cloud and on-premise data lakes, addressing scaling challenges caused by rapidly growing workloads. Built on Hadoop's open-source Distcp framework, the platform now handles over one petabyte of daily replication and hundreds of thousands of jobs with improved speed, reliability, and observability.

Ring the bells, sound the trumpet, the Linux 6.19 kernel has arrived. Linus Torvalds announced that "6.19 is out as expected -- just as the US prepares to come to a complete standstill later today, watching the latest batch of televised commercials." Because while the big news in Linux circles might be a new Linux release, Torvalds recognizes that for many people, the "big news [was] some random sporting event." American football, what can you do?

A North American manufacturer spent most of 2024 and early 2025 doing what many innovative enterprises did: aggressively standardizing on the public cloud by using data lakes, analytics, CI/CD, and even a good chunk of ERP integration. The board liked the narrative because it sounded like simplification, and simplification sounded like savings. Then generative AI arrived, not as a lab toy but as a mandate. "Put copilots everywhere," leadership said. "Start with maintenance, then procurement, then the call center, then engineering change orders."

Almost a quarter of those surveyed said they had experienced a container-related security incident in the past year. The bottleneck is rarely in detecting vulnerabilities, but mainly in what happens next. Weeks or months can pass between the discovery of a problem and the actual implementation of a solution. During that period, applications continued to run with known risks, making organizations vulnerable, reports The Register.

An observability control plane isn't just a dashboard. It's the operational authority system. It defines alert rules, routing, ownership, escalation policy, and notification endpoints. When that layer is wrong, the impact is immediate. The wrong team gets paged. The right team never hears about the incident. Your service level indicators look clean while production burns.

The main advantage of going the Multi-Cloud way is that organizations can "put their eggs in different baskets" and be more versatile in their approach to how they do things. For example, they can mix it up and opt for a cloud-based Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solution when it comes to the database, while going the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) route for their application endeavors.

The Harness Resilience Testing platform extends the scope of the tests provided to include application load and disaster recovery (DR) testing tools that will enable DevOps teams to further streamline workflows.

I recently wrote about my migration away from VirtualBox to KVM/Virt-Machine for my virtual machine needs. I've found those tools to be far superior (albeit with a bit more of a learning curve) than VirtualBox. Since then, however, I've found another method of working with KVM (the Linux kernel virtual machine technology), one that not only allows me to create and manage virtual machines on my local computer, but also from any machine on my LAN. That tool is Cockpit, which makes managing your Linux machines considerably easier.

When I manage infrastructure for major events (whether it is the Olympics, a Premier League match or a season finale) I am dealing with a "thundering herd" problem that few systems ever face. Millions of users log in, browse and hit "play" within the same three-minute window. But this challenge isn't unique to media. It is the same nightmare that keeps e-commerce CTOs awake before Black Friday or financial systems architects up during a market crash. The fundamental problem is always the same: How do you survive when demand exceeds capacity by an order of magnitude?
