The 2026 VMUG Report: Why Network Observability is the Heart of the New VCF Era
The cloud landscape is no longer just about "getting to the cloud"—it is about mastering the complexity once you are there. For organizations using VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), the stakes have never been higher. As infrastructure converges, the margin for error shrinks, and the need for precision grows. To understand how the industry is navigating these changes, we dive into the VMUG Cloud Operations and VCF User Experience Report 2026.

GEOFF WRIGHT RETURNS: 2025 EOY SPECIAL EPISODE!
In our tradtional end-of-year DEX Show special episode, Mondelez’s Geoff Wright returns to unpack a wild 2025 for IT, AI and employee experience. Tim, Tom and Geoff riff on AI agents that shop, plan travel and work across your browser tabs, the coming street fight between Windows and Chromebooks, and why younger workers just want a browser and to be left alone. Geoff explores shadow AI, culture and the human resistance to change, plus his Q1 predictions: Google’s big enterprise push, soaring laptop costs, and why experience, empathy and a good laugh still matter more than any shiny new model.
ServiceNow and Grafana: How to receive Grafana alert payloads via ServiceNow's scripted REST API
When you integrate Grafana-managed alert rules with ServiceNow, you can automatically capture and process alerts in ServiceNow’s events table—a common entry point for incident workflows, escalations, and ticket creation. And if you configure ServiceNow to receive Grafana Alerting payloads using ServiceNow’s scripted REST API, you can parse Grafana’s JSON alert payloads and insert them into a ServiceNow table.

Training Foundation Models on a Trillion Data Points with Apache Iceberg
Training an AI foundation model on over a trillion data points sounds impossible without hitting your production systems. Here's how Datadog did it with Apache Iceberg for their time series forecasting model TOTO. The key challenge: extracting massive historical observability data (metrics spanning years) and running incremental preprocessing pipelines without overwhelming production services. Iceberg solved this by providing schema governance, consistency guarantees, and seamless integration with ML tools like Ray and PyTorch.
Best Certificate Monitoring Solutions With Slack/Teams Integration: The Complete Guide
SSL certificates expire silently. When they do, websites instantly break. Users see warnings. Traffic drops. Security trust is damaged. This is why businesses now rely on certificate monitoring solutions that send alerts before a certificate expires. A growing number of teams want these alerts directly inside Slack or Microsoft Teams, because that’s where their operations already work every day.
Synthetic End User Monitoring simulates complex user journeys across global environments
Traditional monitoring solutions provide valuable infrastructure metrics, they fundamentally lack the capability to understand what users actually experience. There is a significant technical gap between server-side metrics and client-side experience. Research shows that traditional monitoring fails to detect 52–68% of user-facing errors since they happen outside of the server infrastructure.
