A Guide to NAT Gateway

Apr 8, 2026 By Ryan Cassily In Megaport
What it is, how it works, when to use it, and how to optimize it. Table of Contents Network Address Translation (NAT) has been around for a long time, playing a critical role in extending the lifespan of IPv4 as well as providing breathing room for deploying IPv6. Enterprises have been using it for decades in their corporate and data center networks as an integral part of their network management and security portfolio.

How to Implement Self-Service Infrastructure Without Losing Control | Harness Blog

Apr 8, 2026 By Bri Strozewski In Harness
Self-service infrastructure replaces ticket queues with controlled, automated workflows so developers can get what they need safely and on demand. Policy-as-code, standardized templates, and an Internal Developer Portal (IDP) provide guardrails that maintain security, compliance, and cost control. You can demonstrate ROI in 90 days by starting with a single golden path and measuring adoption, speed, and policy outcomes. If platform teams are buried in tickets, they are not operating a control plane.

How to Build a Developer Self-Service Platform That Actually Works | Harness Blog

Apr 8, 2026 By Bri Strozewski In Harness
Your developers are buried under tickets for environments, pipelines, and infra tweaks, while a small platform team tries to keep up. That is not developer self-service. That is managed frustration. If 200 developers depend on five platform engineers for every change, you do not have a platform; you have a bottleneck. Velocity drops, burnout rises, and shadow tooling appears. Developer self-service fixes this, but only when it is treated as a product, not a portal skin.

Why Autonomous AI Agents Can't Run on SaaS Infrastructure

Apr 7, 2026 By Matthew LeRay In Speedscale
The era of the “copilot” is ending. We are moving rapidly toward the era of the autonomous software factory, where autonomous agents don’t just autocomplete our code—they investigate, plan, test, and merge entire features while we sleep. But this shift has exposed a critical flaw in how we consume AI. For the past decade, the default motion for enterprise software has been SaaS. It’s easy, frictionless, and managed by someone else.

How instant environment cloning reduces the "Triage Tax"

Apr 7, 2026 By Upsun In Upsun
The most expensive hour in software engineering is the hour spent trying to figure out why a bug exists in production that doesn’t exist anywhere else. For many teams, the first 70% of a debugging cycle isn't spent fixing code; it is spent on "plumbing." This is the time lost to reproducing the issue, wrestling with environment drift, and sanitizing datasets just to get to a starting line.

Using Open Policy Agent (OPA) with Terraform: Tutorial and Examples [2026]

Apr 7, 2026 By Ned Bellavance In env0
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solves the provisioning problem. It doesn't solve the governance problem. You can version your Terraform configuration, run it in a pipeline, review every pull request — and still deploy an S3 bucket with public access, a VM with no encryption, or a resource that exceeds your cost budget. Nothing in the standard IaC workflow checks for those things. The reviewer has to know what to look for. And they won't catch it every time. Policy as Code changes that.

Deterministic by Design: How Harness Grounds AI Agents in Structured Data | Harness Blog

Apr 7, 2026 By Sunil Gattupalle In Harness
When AI agents operate across a multi-module platform like Harness (from CI/CD to DevSecOps to FinOps), the number one goal is to give you answers that are correct, consistent, and grounded in real data. Getting there requires a deliberate architectural choice: when a question can be answered from structured platform data, the agent should use a schema-driven Knowledge Graph rather than raw API calls via MCP. The principle is simple: if the data is modeled, retrieval should be deterministic.
