When it comes to IoT connectivity, it’s no longer enough for Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and Mobile Service Providers (MSPs) to provide coverage, capacity and SIM cards. As enterprises accelerate their digital transformation, the focus has shifted from basic connectivity to seamless, secure and scalable device-to-cloud integration.

In July 2024, DigiCert discovered they’d been issuing certificates with improper domain validation for five years. They gave customers 24 hours to replace 83,000 certificates. CISA issued an emergency alert. Critical infrastructure operators couldn’t meet the deadline. Some customers sued. That’s what mass revocation looks like in practice. The CA finds a compliance problem, the clock starts, and everyone scrambles. ACME Renewal Information (ARI) is the fix.

Today, we announce the release of HAProxy Fusion 2.0. This release marks a generational leap for the authoritative control plane that orchestrates HAProxy Enterprise’s high-performance application delivery and security. With a combination of new headliner features, structural changes, and improvements to the performance of the underlying API, HAProxy Fusion has jumped from version 1.3 to version 2.0.

Back in May of 2021, containers had already won. Kubernetes adoption was surging. ECS and EKS were powerful. But for many teams, deploying a simple containerized web service still meant stitching together clusters, networking rules, scaling policies, load balancers, IAM roles, and CI/CD pipelines. It felt heavier than it should. Developers no longer wanted more orchestration power. They wanted less operational drag.

This is part 1 of a five-part series on building production-grade AI engineering systems. Across this series, we will cover: Most teams experimenting with AI coding agents focus on prompts. That is the wrong starting point. Before you optimize how an agent thinks, you must standardize what it sees. AI agents do not primarily fail because of reasoning limits. They fail because of environmental ambiguity.
