Microsoft has identified a zero-day vulnerability in the Windows kernel, rated 7.0 on the CVSS scale. Organizations often misprioritize vulnerabilities, focusing on high-severity scores instead of those actively exploited. Many lower-severity vulnerabilities are chained by attackers. A risk-based approach to vulnerability management is crucial. Current Windows OS versions are affected, and organizations should consider Extended Security Updates to mitigate risks as more zero days are anticipated.

This video provides a step-by-step walkthrough for configuring monitoring for.NET applications running on Linux using SolarWinds Observability. The demonstration covers the full setup process—from adding a new service to verifying the APM library connection. Topics covered in this video include: This guide is intended for developers, system administrators, and DevOps engineers who need to quickly and reliably instrument.NET applications on Linux for performance monitoring and observability.

Looking for a faster way to discover every device on your network? This video walks through how SolarWinds Observability automatically scans and classifies network gear—including routers, switches, access points, firewalls, and SD-WAN devices—in seconds. You’ll learn how to: This is the easiest way to get full network visibility without scripts, config files, or manual inventory work.

Chaos Engineering isn’t about breaking things. It’s about being thoughtful about failure to learn something. Gremlin founder and CEO Kolton Andrus lays it out in this clip from when he sat down with Stephen Townshend on the Slight Reliability podcast!

Your laptop is powerful enough to run your own LLM. Here's why that matters While centralized AI tools help teams, they miss something critical: your personal knowledge. Meeting notes, tips, tricks, and context only you have. Kyle Fransham shows how running a local LLM changes the game. Index your own "master document of knowledge" and query it right in your dev environment. No cloud needed. The tools are accessible. The setup is simple. And the impact? Game-changing for how you work.

Good observability starts with good data. In this clip, we hear how Cribl gives teams real control over their data pipelines so they can collect, enrich, and route telemetry from any source to the right destination. It is not just about more dashboards or another platform. It is about building an observability ecosystem that connects IT, security, and the business through cleaner data and smarter AIOps. Tool rationalization and AI driven pipelines are not future goals. They are happening right now.

Unlock the full potential of your Bitbucket Pipelines! In this video, I introduce four advanced configuration options you can add to your bitbucket-pipelines.yml file to boost performance and cut costs: Try adding a larger Size parameter to your slowest steps, or set up retry conditions for flaky tests to get started.

Harness Database DevOps has added Flyway support alongside Liquibase, offering teams a choice between structured changelogs and SQL-first migration scripts. This multi-engine approach ensures developers can use their preferred tool while benefiting from centralized governance, automated safety features, and a unified pipeline for all database changes. The goal is to make database delivery safer, more automated, and flexible across the enterprise.

Learn how to quickly create a fork of your Aiven for PostgreSQL instance to set up a safe staging or testing environment. In this demo, we walk you through selecting your project and service, navigating to the backups & forking section, naming your new instance, choosing the cloud provider and plan, and finalising the fork to replicate your original database. This approach allows you to test changes safely without affecting your production database, making development and QA workflows much more reliable.
