Kubernetes is widely used for deploying, scaling, and managing systems and applications and is an industry standard for container orchestration. Google engineers originally developed Kubernetes as an open-source project. Its first release was in September 2014, and since then, it has matured into a graduate project maintained by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). With the complexities of scale and distributed systems, debugging in Kubernetes environments can be difficult.

Cloudsmith built Enterprise Policy Management (EPM) on Open Policy Agent (OPA) and uses Rego to define policies as code. These policies control how packages move through your systems. They're versioned, reviewable, and enforceable. EPM is in early release, but it already draws on extensive metadata Cloudsmith collects from your artifacts: format, version, tags, license, vulnerability, malware scan results, and digital signatures.

Enterprise Policy Management (EPM) is a programmable policy-as-code layer that controls the security, compliance, and flow of artifacts across the software supply chain. Teams can codify rules once and apply them continuously across repositories. With Cloudsmith’s platform, organizations extend policy enforcement across teams, environments, and geographies without introducing friction, including the open source packages that the chain depends on.

How to approach the most significant customer-facing business process.

"Imagine spending hours manually sifting through error logs, trying to pinpoint the root cause of a critical issue. This is a common challenge in software development." This is a problem that many engineers experience today and this process can be greatly improved an automated using AI agents. These AI agents will require as much context about the issue or problem as possible to be effective and have any opportunity to help improve this process.

To manage today’s complex and distributed data center environments, data center professionals need more than spreadsheets, static diagrams, and siloed monitoring tools. They need a real-time and interactive view of their infrastructure, a data center digital twin. Modern Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) software makes this possible. Far beyond basic monitoring or asset tracking, DCIM software delivers a true digital twin.

Time is running out to be in full compliance with the EU Cyber Resilience Act, and we’re helping developers and manufacturers understand how to do just that. Here’s what we’ve been up to since March in helping the wider community understand how to meet the CRA head-on.

Retail Media Networks are no longer an experimental channel for digital advertisers. They have become an integral part of closed-loop marketing, enabling brands to leverage first-party consumer data for precise audience targeting. In 2025, US retail media ad spending is projected to reach approximately $62.4 billion, marking a significant increase from the previous year. This growth reflects the sector's continued momentum, with eMarketer expecting a 20% increase in allocations by U.S. advertisers.

Learn how to reduce cloud costs without sacrificing performance by integrating Latitude.sh's compute, Wasabi's storage, and Megaport's private network into your multicloud architecture. IT teams are under increasing pressure to reduce costs without sacrificing performance or scalability in their cloud infrastructure. I’ve had several customers bring up a need for reducing compute cost and storage costs, the need for custom hardware specs, and the like.

Let’s be real, Prometheus and Grafana are great tools. They’ve earned their place in enterprise IT by offering solid infrastructure monitoring and visualization. But in complex, multi-middleware environments, these tools hit their limits. Picture this: a business-critical transaction is delayed or missing. Dashboards look fine. CPU and memory are stable. But something still feels off.
