Expert Insight: Why Carrier Neutral Data Centres Give UK Businesses Greater Network Control

Dec 11, 2025 By Mike Hoy, CTO In Pulsant
The demands placed on digital infrastructure have changed. As businesses expand across regions, adopt cloud platforms, and face stricter compliance requirements, networks must evolve just as fast as the workloads they support. The rise of AI, distributed teams, and latency-sensitive applications has made agility a central requirement for performance and resilience. Without it, costs rise, migrations slow, and continuity becomes harder to guarantee.

Highlights from AWS re:Invent 2025: Making sense of applied AI, trust, and going faster

Dec 11, 2025 By Andrew Krug In Datadog
After four days of AWS re:Invent—a 65,000-step marathon that included 60,000 attendees spread across five Las Vegas campuses—and navigating the latest installment of this 13-year-old cloud pilgrimage, we’re all a little dehydrated but significantly wiser. The volume of announcements felt less like a single flood and more like a river branching into three powerful currents. Making sense of this massive technological convergence requires zooming out.

How to launch a Deep Learning VM on Google Cloud

Dec 11, 2025 By Hugo Huang In Canonical
Setting up a local Deep Learning environment can be a headache. Between managing CUDA drivers, resolving Python library conflicts, and ensuring you have enough GPU power, you often spend more time configuring than coding. Google Cloud and Canonical work together to solve this with Deep Learning VM Images, which use Ubuntu Accelerator Optimized OS as the base OS. These are pre-configured virtual machines optimized for data science and machine learning tasks.

Gamifying FinOps (And CloudZero) For Better Adoption

Dec 11, 2025 By Umesh Rao In CloudZero
In our increasingly online world, managing cloud, AI, and other tech spend has shifted from a good idea to an absolute necessity. But even when cost management is a priority, how do you get busy development teams and engineers actively engaged in the new practices? New initiatives are often viewed as more work on the team’s plate, which is an understandable deterrent to adoption. That leaves FinOps proponents struggling to get others on board.

Dec 11, 2025 By Lyne Carolyne In CloudZero
AI should speed up innovation, not inflate your cloud bill. But today, the biggest GenAI challenge for SaaS teams isn’t model quality; it’s cost. And increasingly, that cost comes from AI cost sprawl. That’s not because anyone is doing something wrong, but because AI operates differently from the cloud services we’ve all spent a decade learning how to manage.

Why cloud fragmentation is slowing teams down and how unified platforms solve it

Dec 11, 2025 By Upsun In Upsun
Engineering teams today manage infrastructure spread across multiple clouds and tools. Whether this happened through gradual accumulation or deliberate strategy, the result is the same: complexity that slows teams down. Managing each cloud separately with different tools and workflows is a bottleneck to delivery speed, operational efficiency, and platform reliability.

Cutting tech debt at the source: how cloud application platforms put IT back on offense

Dec 11, 2025 By Jessica Orozco In Upsun
For most Central IT leaders, tech debt isn't a surprise. It's the silent tax on every roadmap, every quarterly plan, every conversation about why things take so long. Modern cloud application platforms (true PaaS environments) give IT leaders a path to unwind years of accumulated complexity while simultaneously accelerating innovation. You no longer have to tolerate the tax.
