The 4 pillars of AI in 2026: Agents, cost, observability & sovereignty
AI is no longer just about "one-shot" prompts. In this session from our "From Idea to Agent" webinar, Ben Norris (AI Engineer at Civo) breaks down the four key priorities dominating the enterprise space in 2026. From the 130x explosion in token usage to the "vibe-coding" revolution, learn why businesses are turning away from US hyperscalers in favor of democratized, secure, and UK-sovereign AI infrastructure. We explore how autonomous agents are solving multi-step problems and why "Chain of Thought" reasoning is unlocking AI for heavily regulated industries like finance and healthcare.

Let's Encrypt is moving to 45-day certificates before everyone else
The CA/Browser Forum set 47-day certificates as target for 2029. Let’s Encrypt decided to implement it a year earlier. In December 2025, Let’s Encrypt announced their roadmap to cut certificate lifetimes from 90 days to 45 days by February 2028, a full year ahead of the industry mandate. It’s exactly what we’d expect from the CA that made automation mandatory from day one.
How Deployment Pipelines Power Continuous Deployment
Let's be honest: everyone says they want continuous deployment. "Ship all the time! Move fast! Break absolutely nothing!" But the only reason any of that is even remotely possible is because of one unsung hero quietly doing the heavy lifting behind the scenes: Ah, the deployment pipeline - aka your code's obstacle course / gauntlet / walk in the park… depending on how well it's behaving.
Clustered Directors, Pipeline Debugging, and More Integrations
Over the past two months, VirtualMetric DataStream delivered a substantial update cycle focused on resilience, productivity, and platform extensibility.

Actionable Network Device Monitoring with Automated Anomaly Detection and AI Troubleshooting
Network device monitoring is often a mess of polling, graphs, and alerts that don't lead to answers. In this webinar, we'll show how to monitor routers, switches, and firewalls in a way that quickly surfaces what matters: interface health, errors, drops, saturation, latency signals, and performance regressions—without drowning in noise. You'll learn how Netdata turns raw SNMP metrics into high-signal insights using automated anomaly detection and AI-assisted troubleshooting, so your team can move from 'something is wrong' to 'here's the root cause' faster.
Pipeline Performance Profiling: Making CI/CD Performance, Cost, and Bottlenecks Visible
Modern CI/CD pipelines are no longer just about whether builds succeed, they’re about how fast, how efficiently, and at what cost they run. One theme has come up consistently in customer conversations: “My builds are slow, expensive, and I don’t know where to start fixing that.”
