The state of cloud and AI in 2026

Over the past decade, cloud computing has evolved from an emerging technology into the foundation of modern digital infrastructure. However, the latest industry research shows that the industry has now crossed a critical threshold. The conversation is no longer about whether to adopt cloud, cloud-native technologies, or AI. Instead, it has shifted toward operational efficiency, economic predictability, and infrastructure at scale.

Calculating The Kubernetes Integration Tax: What Your DIY Networking Stack Actually Costs

It was 11:47pm on a Thursday night, and a senior platform engineer at a large North American bank was rolling back a ‘simple’ configuration change. The change itself was small, a routine update approved through the usual review process, but when it was applied, pods began cycling and connections started dropping. For the next three seconds, mobile banking sessions already mid-transaction dropped. Customer support lit up.

No egress fees. No lock-in. That's cloud freedom

With hyperscalers, growth comes with a hidden cost. The more your data moves, the more you pay, by design. Egress fees are that cost. A model built to discourage migration, limit flexibility, and keep you trapped in their ecosystem. At Civo, we've eliminated that barrier completely. No egress fees, no hidden charges. Every cost is transparent and predictable, so you always know exactly what you're paying for. You stay because you choose to. That's cloud freedom.

What Is AWS EKS, and How Does It Work with Kubernetes?

Amazon EKS is AWS’s managed Kubernetes service for deploying and scaling containerized applications. Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) is a managed Kubernetes service that simplifies deploying, scaling, and running containerized applications on AWS and on-premises. EKS automates Kubernetes control plane management, ensuring high availability and seamless integration with AWS services like IAM, VPC, and ALB.

#057 - From Pagers to Pair Programming: Navigating Massive Scale and AI with Stefana Muller (Sale...

In this episode of "Kubernetes for Humans," Stefana Muller, VP of Infrastructure & Operations at Salesforce, shares her fascinating journey from technical support to navigating the massive scale of the Own Backup acquisition. Stefana dives into the immense multi-cloud Kubernetes challenges of scaling from 18,000 to over 52,000 clusters, standardizing environments across AWS and Azure, and leveling up security to meet stringent Salesforce standards.

Hyperscaler vs. independent cloud: How startups should choose in 2026

A two-person startup signs up for the obvious hyperscaler because their last company used it, because Stripe runs on it, because the documentation is exhaustive, and because the free tier looks generous. Eighteen months later, with a small team and a healthy seed round, they discover they're spending $18,000 a month, and they don't quite know where most of it is going. Three engineers can describe the architecture in detail. Nobody can describe the bill.

Stop ECS Containers From Collapsing Into One Service in OpenTelemetry

Why ECS containers collapse under service.name = aws_ecs and how to fix it for both EC2 launch type and Fargate, including the resource-vs-log-record pitfall that quietly breaks log filtering. Prathamesh works as an evangelist at Last9, runs SRE stories - where SRE and DevOps folks share their stories, and maintains o11y.wiki - a glossary of all terms related to observability.

Build with Claude Code, Deploy with Qovery

AI coding tools eliminated the 'writing code' bottleneck. But deploying that code? Still a mess. Here's how Claude Code + Qovery Skill lets you go from idea to production in a single prompt - with enterprise-grade guardrails. Romaric founded Qovery to make Kubernetes accessible to every engineering team. He writes about platform strategy, developer experience, and the future of cloud infrastructure.
