Shipped: Explorer refresh: show more, scroll less

Aug 20, 2026 By Kaitlin Woo In CloudZero
CloudZero Explorer answers a cost question in two parts. The chart shows what your spend did and the table underneath shows which service, account, or team did it. Until now, the chart pushed the table below the fold, and actions like creating a View or checking Anomalies were buried multiple clicks deep. Now the chart and table share the screen and a new right rail puts Favorites, Views, Anomalies and Insights one click away without covering your data.

Aug 19, 2026 By Jubril Oyetunji In Civo
As businesses evolve in today’s digital landscape, the need for efficient and scalable computing resources has become paramount. In the early days of the Internet, large corporations would build or rent out large data centers to run their applications and serve customers.

Trust you can verify: security assurance for the AI era

Aug 19, 2026 By Upsun In Upsun
When you choose a cloud platform, you're entrusting a provider with sensitive business information, customer data, critical applications, and a growing share of your operational resilience. Increasingly, you are also entrusting it with AI. And that changes the questions you should be asking. Marketing claims cannot answer these questions. Independent evidence can. Here is what that evidence looks like at Upsun and why it matters to your next supplier review.

The infrastructure work you should not have to touch just to ship a feature

Aug 19, 2026 By Upsun In Upsun
You wrote the feature. It works locally. Then you spend the next two hours on things that have nothing to do with the feature: a Terraform plan that wants to replace a database you didn't touch, a Kubernetes manifest that needs a new ingress rule, an IAM policy that's one permission short of what the deploy needs. None of this is the job. All of it is the job today. Here's what that list actually looks like, and why none of it should be sitting on your plate.

Token budgets: capping AI agent and LLM spend

Aug 19, 2026 By Doug Bonderud In CloudZero
AI costs are changing. As noted by research from EY, outputs that cost just $0.04 in 2023 now cost $1.20, a 30x increase over just three years. It’s worth noting that task operations and complexity have also changed. In 2023, the process was simple. Users input a question, retrieval engines found relevant data, and AI models returned a response. Today, many tasks are handled by orchestrated AI agents capable of much more complex reasoning and analysis.

Shipped: A changelog that keeps up with how fast we ship

Aug 19, 2026 By Kaitlin Woo In CloudZero
When the changelog doesn’t keep pace with the product, two things can happen. One, you keep working around something that was already fixed weeks ago. Or two, a behavior changes, you assume it’s a bug, and you spend an afternoon on triage and a support ticket before learning it was an intentional improvement. CloudZero now ships around 30 improvements a week, a pace driven by the Next Gen Platform and the AI-first approach we’re building for our customers.

The Waiting Game for Data Centre Capacity (And How UK Businesses Can Beat It)

The Waiting Game for Data Centre Capacity (And How UK Businesses Can Beat It)

Aug 18, 2026 By Pulsant In Pulsant
UK data centre occupancy hit 91% in 2024, according to Arizton market data, and new capacity is not arriving fast enough to close the gap. Grid connection wait times for new projects now run between five and 15 years, reports Data Center Dynamics, and Savills has attributed the 11% year-on-year drop in new capacity delivery to power constraints rather than a lack of demand or investment. Rising wholesale energy costs are addingpressure to an already tight market.

What build-versus-buy actually looks like in agentic engineering

Aug 18, 2026 By Upsun In Upsun
Most build-versus-buy debates assume you're choosing once, at the start, and living with it. Agentic engineering doesn't work that way. The decision shows up at every layer of the stack, and the teams getting it right aren't the ones who picked "build" or "buy" as a philosophy. They're the ones who know which layer is which.
