NVIDIA Vera Rubin: What is it, what's new, and when you can get it

NVIDIA's infrastructure roadmap moves fast, and the next major milestone is already here. The NVIDIA Vera Rubin platform is the company's next-generation AI compute architecture, the successor to Blackwell, and it's shaping up to be one of the most significant leaps forward in AI infrastructure NVIDIA has ever shipped. Whether you're planning your next training cluster, scaling inference pipelines, or building the infrastructure to power autonomous agents, Vera Rubin is worth understanding now.

AI Governance vs AI Innovation: Are AI Agents Outrunning Enterprise Oversight?

In this special episode of Agents of IT, the team dives into one of the biggest questions shaping enterprise AI right now: Is AI adoption moving faster than governance can keep up? Ari, Fran, Zach, and Ian break down the growing tension between agentic AI, automation, security, and oversight. From AI hallucinations and context overload to GRC challenges, shadow AI, and the future of AI governance roles, the conversation explores what enterprises need to consider as autonomous operations become reality.

The sovereignty shift: how to grow regional tech ecosystems

Manchester is one of the UK’s leading tech ecosystems – but how did it get there? In this episode, Pulsant’s Wendy Shearer speaks with Katie Gallagher from Manchester Digital about Manchester’s rise as a powerhouse for UK tech, data sovereignty, innovation, talent and inclusive growth. Discover how the region has evolved from its strong industrial heritage into a thriving digital economy now home to major FTSE 100 companies and six unicorn businesses.

Certificate Audit logs are live

Certificate automation does a lot of work on your behalf. Agents running on your servers, talking to certificate authorities, deploying certs to your infrastructure. At some point someone (your CISO, your auditor, or your own brain at 3am) is going to ask: what exactly happened, and when? Today we’re shipping audit logs. Every action taken in CertKit is now recorded: logins, invitations, certificates added, issued, renewed, revoked, and deployed. Agent registrations, approvals, and config changes.

Teach Your AI Coding Agent to Instrument, Monitor, and Troubleshoot Infrastructure with netdata/skills

There’s a growing ecosystem of AI coding agents: Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Codex, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, and others. They’re good at writing code, but they don’t inherently know how to instrument that code for observability, configure monitoring infrastructure, or troubleshoot production systems using real telemetry data. That knowledge lives in documentation, runbooks, and the heads of your senior SREs.

Reduce CI Costs Without Slowing Down Development | Harness Blog

Continuous integration (CI) costs can escalate quickly as engineering teams scale. While most organizations focus on cloud bills, the true cost of CI includes slow build times, developer wait time, inefficient test execution, and overprovisioned infrastructure. CI cost optimization is the practice of reducing the total cost of CI pipelines by improving build efficiency, minimizing compute usage, and eliminating unnecessary work without slowing down development.

Why Artifact Repository Sprawl Slows Down Software Delivery | Harness Blog

Three weeks into a platform modernization project, this question landed in my inbox: "Why does our deployment pipeline take 40 minutes instead of four?" This is artifact repository sprawl in practice, and it does more than slow pipelines. It fragments your security posture, your compliance evidence, and your ability to answer basic questions like "what's actually running in production right now?".
