Why colocation is becoming the foundation of sovereign AI

The last few years have seen AI conversations dominated by the need for investment in hyperscale infrastructure as firms race to build ever larger training models. But as those conversations evolve, the emphasis is shifting to the next phase of AI adoption, focusing on the scaling of use cases and real-world value. In line with this shift, organisations are looking beyond where AI is trained to the specifics of where it is actually used.

Is It Time to Rethink Your Multicloud Strategy?

The original case for multicloud still holds — but the conditions around it have shifted significantly. Here's what you should be asking before your next cloud decision. Most organizations didn’t set out to have a multicloud strategy. They just accumulated one – a mix of providers, tools, and integrations built up over time as individual workload decisions compounded into something that now requires a strategy of its own.

The 8 Best European Cloud Storage Providers in 2026

Europe is home to some of the world's most privacy-focused cloud storage providers, offering secure alternatives to services operated by large US technology companies. Whether you're looking to protect personal files, store sensitive business documents, or keep your data under European jurisdiction, choosing the right provider can make a significant difference to your online privacy and the security of your personal information.

This is what cloud freedom looks like

Proprietary tech. Vendor lock-in. Pricing you can't predict. The hyperscaler model has defined cloud computing for years. Civo was built to change that. Civo CEO Mark Boost sets out the vision, a multi-cloud and hybrid cloud future built on open standards, full cloud parity, and genuine user choice. Public cloud, private cloud, and AI infrastructure that gives you total control over your data, your infrastructure, and your spend.

Eliminate Reliability Blind Spots in AWS, Azure, and GCP

Cloud resilience often feels like an uphill battle. When you’re overseeing hundreds of applications across different providers, identifying potential failure points manually is nearly impossible. You’re left trying to find the needle in a haystack—a needle that could take down your entire application at any moment. To truly protect your uptime, you have to break the cycle of reactive troubleshooting.

AWS, GCP, Azure - We Pick The Best of Every Cloud

When your platform is tied to a single cloud, every move turns into a migration. This team decided it didn't have to be. In this clip, a Control Plane customer explains how separating their platform from the cloud provider underneath changed the math on infrastructure. Instead of being locked to one vendor, they can pick the best services from each cloud and move workloads to AWS without jumping through hoops. The kicker: a migration whose sheer scale would have "scared them off" becomes a non-event once your platform isn't welded to a single provider. Control Plane is an AI-native virtual cloud.

Code-Level Migration Assessment for AWS

Infrastructure assessment tools scan your servers and estimate migration cost based on CPU, memory, and storage. They do not read your application code. Applications that appear migration-ready at the infrastructure layer may contain thousands of lines of code that block cloud adoption. Without code-level visibility, teams cannot make accurate 6R decisions.

AI Is Reshaping the Tech Industry in 2026: What Consumers and Businesses Need to Know

Artificial intelligence has evolved from an emerging technology into one of the biggest drivers of innovation across the global technology industry. In 2026, AI is influencing everything from smartphones and laptops to cybersecurity, cloud computing, enterprise software, and digital productivity tools.

Upgrade Your AWS Deploy Orb to Get Deploy Markers

Upgrade to the latest version of your AWS deploy orb to get automatic registration of deploy markers. This will give you instant access to deployment timeline, auto-rollback, and version comparison when something breaks — for about five minutes of effort. It will also switch you to OIDC, so there are no long-lived keys to manage. It’s a single version bump. Here’s how.
