Shipped: Keep your cost allocation logic out of the wrong hands

CostFormation is how your organization models cost allocation. As more teams adopt it, protecting that logic matters. RBAC for CostFormation Namespaces lets you scope access at the namespace level, so the right people can view and edit Dimensions, and everyone else can’t.

A look into Ubuntu Core 26: Deploying AI models on Renesas RZ/V series for production

Welcome to this blog series which explores innovative uses of Ubuntu Core. Throughout this series, Canonical’s Engineers will show what you can build with our releases, highlighting the features and tools available to you. In this blog, Asa Mirzaieva, engineer from the Silicon Alliances team, will show you how to deploy optimised AI models on Renesas RZ/V series hardware using the Dynamically Reconfigurable Processor for AI (DRP-AI).

Variable Sharing and Dynamic Step Conditions | Bitbucket Blitz | Atlassian

Bitbucket Pipelines lets you invoke child pipelines from a parent step, but until now there was no way to pass information between them. Variable sharing changes that. You can define variables in a parent step and pass them directly to child pipelines as custom pipeline variables. With dynamic step conditions, those child pipelines can make decisions at runtime based on the values they receive, like skipping a deployment when a security scan detects critical vulnerabilities.

Prevent container image overwrites with immutable tags in Bitbucket Packages

We’re excited to announce that immutable tags are now available for the Bitbucket Packages container registry. With immutable tags, workspace admins can set container image tags from being overwritten, moved, or modified after they’re first pushed.

Testing AI Code is a Security Nightmare? #Speedscale #DevOps #Kubernetes #AICoding #SoftwareTesting

AI can write a feature in seconds, but where are you testing it? Sending production traffic, API payloads, and auth headers to a third-party SaaS is a massive security risk. In this video, we break down why the Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) model is the ultimate fix for DevSecOps. Learn how to safely test AI-generated code against real production traffic entirely within your own VPC or Kubernetes cluster. No data leaks, no massive DLP pipelines, and no endless masking rules.

Minga cut infra costs 30-40% - and it scales itself | Control Plane

Minga checks in 1.5 million students across the eastern seaboard by 8:30 AM Eastern — then lets that infrastructure wind down an hour later. After migrating to Control Plane, they cut infrastructure costs 30–40% and traded fragile, manual scaling for a platform that scales itself.

RISC-V profiles - why is RVA23 significant?

One of the important offerings of the RISC-V Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) is the ability to customize and extend the base instruction set. An initial reaction to hearing this is often to worry about software portability and compatibility, since if every RISC-V CPU offers a slightly different set of instructions, software won’t be portable.

Announcing HAProxy 3.4

HAProxy 3.4 is a milestone release that significantly advances HAProxy’s legendary flexibility, performance, security, reliability, and observability. Dynamic backend management simplifies integration with modern architectures, memory efficiency improves across a broader range of workloads, native cryptographic operations at the proxy layer open new possibilities for API security architectures, and OpenTelemetry support makes HAProxy a first-class participant in distributed tracing pipelines.

21 AI concepts every beginner should know before their first interview

If you’re prepping for your first AI or MLOps interview, the hardest part usually isn’t always the hands-on element. For me, it’s the vocabulary. Interviewers sometimes lob single-word concepts at you (“what’s quantization?”) and watch how far you can carry the thread. The questions sound clear-cut, but each one is really a doorway into a bigger topic, and the interviewer is judging how cleanly you walk through it.
