Poland's KSC Act Is Now in Force: Why NIS2 Compliance Starts with Infrastructure Automation
Poland’s implementation of the EU’s NIS2 Directive marks a decisive shift in how organisations think about cybersecurity, resilience, and operational risk. With amendments to the Act on the National Cybersecurity System (KSC Act) entering into force on 3 April 2026, enforcement expectations are now real, national, and significantly stricter than many organisations anticipated – including obligations for security controls, incident response, and supply‑chain governance.
Disaster Recovery Testing in Harness | Resilience Testing
In this video, we introduce Harness Resilience Testing and show you how to move beyond once-a-year DR drills to a continuously validated, pipeline-driven process. You'll see how Harness lets you validate regional failovers, check database replication lag under pressure, and confirm your hot standbys genuinely take over live traffic, all in one place. We also walk through a live DR test execution, showing exactly how Harness triggers the full failover sequence, runs every validation step automatically, and gives you a clear pass or fail result in real time.
Your AWS Kiro Agent Can Now Query CloudZero. Here's What To Ask It
CloudZero's new AWS Kiro integration puts cost intelligence directly in your agentic IDE. Ask plain-language questions about spend, attribution, and cost-per-serve without leaving your development workflow. We see a similar pattern playing out across engineering teams running agentic development tools: code gets shipped fast, something moves in the cost data, and understanding why still requires leaving your environment entirely.
Dr. Argo Called - Do your custom resources need a check-up | Argo Unpacked Ep. #26
In this episode of Dr. Argo Called, we examine the GitOps “manifest dilemma” by comparing Helm, Kro, Kustomize, and Crossplane for Kubernetes deployments, and explore what their differences mean in a GitOps-driven workflow. We also delve into the often-overlooked topic of custom resource health checks in Argo CD—why they matter, why they shouldn’t reside within Argo CD, and how they could be designed more effectively.
Your CEO Wants You To Ramp AI Usage Without Breaking Budgets. Here's How You Can Do It
Notes from a finance leader whose job this is. A few weeks ago, I traveled to Philadelphia for a conversation with a prospective CloudZero customer. We’d been working with the prospect’s engineering team for some weeks, demoing our platform in view of the RFP they’d drawn up. This stage had gone well, and so the next step was talking it over with the prospect’s CFO. We expected a conversation centered around the key criteria in the RFP.
Optical Freedom as a Design Principle: How Ribbon Enables Choice and Supply Chain Resiliency
Pandemic-era shortages are still fresh in many minds. As consumers, we remember empty shelves and long lines driven by panic buying and stockpiling. In telecom, the story played out differently but with the same root cause: factory shutdowns interrupted chip fabrication just as demand for networking and optical equipment surged.
Announcing HAProxy Enterprise 3.3 and HAProxy ALOHA 18.0
We're excited to announce the release of HAProxy Enterprise 3.3, which brings significant advancements to the HAProxy Enterprise WAF and bot management capabilities.
last9-genai: Closing the Conversation Gap in LLM Observability
OpenTelemetry's GenAI instrumentation gives you spans and token counts. It does not give you conversations, workflow cost rollups, or prompts visible in your dashboard. last9-genai is an OTel extension that fills those three gaps — without replacing your existing observability stack. 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.
How to Exclude Health Check Endpoints from Python OTel Traces
Health check endpoints generate thousands of identical, useless spans per day. Here are two production-ready approaches to filter them from your Python OTel traces — and the correctness trap most implementations miss.
