AI is only one of four things driving the data center boom

Tony Rossabi, aka the Godfather, has spent 30 years in this industry. Car washes to Telx to building data centers. He sat down with our CEO Michael Reid to break down what’s actually happening underneath the AI headlines, from where the real demand is coming from, to why a single megawatt of power is so hard to find, and how a team of eight is building 19 ten-megawatt facilities across two continents in 24 months.

Inside the AI Team Weekly: AI Observability workflows and Prometheus exemplars (May 19th, 2026)

The Grafana AI team (Engineers Ivana Huckova and Sonia Aguilar) share what's new in AI Observability this week: a new way to instrument and visualize agent workflows, plus a neat trick for jumping straight from a metric spike to the exact conversation that caused it using Prometheus exemplars. In this episode: We're showing parts of our team meetings to build in public in some small way and give you a sneak preview of what's to come. But not all features we show may make it to production! You've been warned. :)

Introducing Kepler | GitKraken's Agentic Development Environment (ADE)

Kepler is GitKraken's agentic development environment: mission control for running parallel coding agents at scale. Running one agent is easy. Running five of them across three repos is where things break: scattered terminals, no shared view, no idea what's done or stuck. Kepler puts every agent session on one surface so you can plan work, write code, and review what ships without losing track of anything.

Analysing Claude Code telemetry with SquaredUp - diving deeper

In our previous article we looked at the basics of: In this article, we are going to take a deeper dive into some of the complexities of configuration as well as some of the nuances of analysing Claude telemetry. Before we dive into the code, let us just remind ourselves that our telemetry pipeline looks like this: That is, we are emitting Claude Code telemetry to an OpenTelemetry Collector. The telemetry is then exported to an Application Insights endpoint and stored in Log Analytics tables.

Deep AI Investigation for ITOps: What It Is and Why It Matters

Investigation is the most time-consuming and cognitively demanding phase of incident response, and it’s the phase least served by existing tooling. Modern ITOps teams have spent years investing in better detection and alerting. The tools are faster, the dashboards are richer, and anomaly detection keeps improving.

Un-observable AI is Un-trustworthy AI

Recently, someone talked Chipotle’s customer support agent into reversing a linked list – a task completely unrelated to burritos in any way. Screenshots circulated, people laughed, but underneath the joke sat a sharper question. If a production support agent will do that on a public channel, what else will it do that nobody is screenshotting? The bug is funny. The trust gap behind it is not.

Measuring engineering organizations in the age of AI

Engineering leadership is in the middle of a real transition, and most of the leaders I talk to know it. AI has reshaped how software gets built quickly enough that the operating models many of us spent a decade refining no longer fit cleanly, and there is a great deal of serious work happening across the industry to figure out how these models should evolve. The teams I find most impressive right now are the ones treating their operating model as an open question rather than a settled one.

Beyond Mythos: responding to a new threat landscape

Canonical’s security philosophy has always been built on the premise that vulnerabilities exist and will be discovered. Our response relies on defense-in-depth architecture, rapid patch deployment, and strict adherence to Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure (CVD). AI changes vulnerability discovery volume and speed. We have a robust vulnerability management process that is backed by rigorous compliance certifications.
