What cloud portability actually means and how to achieve it

Having workloads on two clouds is not the same as being able to move workloads between them freely. Portability is about the friction of movement, not the number of providers in use. Most teams that call themselves multicloud are not portable. They have separate workloads siloed on separate providers, each with its own toolchain, deployment pipeline, and set of operational conventions. Moving anything between those environments means starting from scratch. That is not portability.

Anthropic Shipped An Enterprise Analytics API. We Shipped the Claude Adapter Today.

Anthropic just shipped an Enterprise Analytics API with user-level token and cost data. Today, we're shipping the CloudZero adapter that maps that data to teams, budgets, and cost centers — so Claude spend gets the same accountability as the rest of your stack. Anthropic released the first beta of its Enterprise Analytics API this week. Admins can pull token usage and dollar cost through a programmatic endpoint, broken down by user, model, context window, region, and product surface.

Multi-cloud vs. hybrid cloud: Which approach is right for your organization?

Cloud adoption has evolved from simple infrastructure outsourcing into a spectrum of deployment models designed to balance performance, resilience, compliance, and cost. Two of the most widely adopted approaches today are multi-cloud and hybrid cloud. While they are often discussed together, they solve different architectural problems.

Encryption Key Management: The Cloud Migration Bottleneck

Cloud migration projects stall for plenty of reasons, legacy dependencies, network latency, data residency rules. But one blocker that doesn't get enough attention is encryption key management. More specifically, the question of who controls the keys once data moves off-premises. For security teams, that question can hold up a migration for months.

Cloud Outage History: Six Years of Recurring Failures

Cloud infrastructure has never been more reliable in theory. In practice, the last six years of cloud outage history have delivered some of the most disruptive incidents on record. Not because cloud providers got worse, but because the systems built on top of them got larger, more interconnected, and more brittle in ways that don't show up until everything breaks at once.

The RAM Crunch: How UK Businesses Can Weather the Global Memory Shortage

Tech headlines are being dominated by the perfect storm that has led to a global shortage of Random Access Memory (RAM). As the short-term, temporary memory that handles data for processing and applications, RAM - and specifically Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) - is a foundational business technology.
