Shadow IT Is Back - And Vibe Coding Made It 10x Worse

May 1, 2026 By Romaric Philogene In Qovery

AI coding tools are the new Shadow IT - but instead of rogue Trello boards, they have OAuth access to your code repos, cloud accounts, and production databases. Here's what's already gone wrong, and how platform engineering fixes it. Romaric founded Qovery to make Kubernetes accessible to every engineering team. He writes about platform strategy, developer experience, and the future of cloud infrastructure.

ISO 27001, G-Cloud and SOC 2: How to vet a sovereign cloud provider

May 1, 2026 By Civo Team In Civo

A procurement officer at a mid-sized financial services firm spent six months last year negotiating with a cloud provider that turned out not to hold the certification it had implied in its sales deck. The contract collapsed during legal review. The firm lost the time, the provider lost the deal, and somewhere in the middle, a senior engineer learned the difference between "compliant with the principles of" and "audited to the standard of.".

7 best AI deployment platforms for production Kubernetes workloads in 2026

Apr 30, 2026 By Mélanie Dallé In Qovery

Training a model in a notebook is easy. What breaks teams is the step after, serving it reliably without haemorrhaging cloud budget or burying your SREs in YAML. The common trap: picking a platform that handles the model but not the surrounding stack. An AI deployment platform should orchestrate the full application graph (inference endpoints, vector databases, caching layers, and frontends) inside a single VPC, with GPU autoscaling that doesn't require a dedicated platform engineer to babysit.

Rightsizing Nightmares: When Your Cloud Cost Tool Degrades Performance

Apr 30, 2026 By Ilan Adler In Komodor

This is what production teams see happening. A vertical pod autoscaler recommendation gets applied automatically. Resource requests come down a notch across a namespace. The cost dashboard registers a small cost savings win. A few minutes later, health checks start failing. Pods enter crash loops.

VM Migration to Kubernetes: What Breaks and How to Prevent It

Apr 29, 2026 By Dillon Barry In Tigera

Here is what nobody putting together the business case for a VM migration to Kubernetes will tell you upfront: the compute is the easy part. Moving workloads off vSphere and onto Kubernetes is conceptually straightforward. The tooling has matured. The architecture is proven. Compute moves, storage remaps, and the platform team has a plan. The network is where projects quietly stall.

Inclusive AI vs. centralized AI: Can India avoid big tech concentration?

Apr 29, 2026 By Emma Oram In Civo

At the 2026 India AI Impact Summit in February 2026, 92 countries and international organizations (including the US, China, and the UK) signed a preliminary agreement that positions AI as both a development tool and a shared global responsibility. “India will not be a mere consumer in the AI age. We will be the creators, the builders, and the exporters of intelligence and we are proud to be able to participate in that future.” Gautam Adani, chairman of the Adani Group.
