VM Migration to Kubernetes: What Breaks and How to Prevent It

Here is what nobody putting together the business case for a VM migration to Kubernetes will tell you upfront: the compute is the easy part. Moving workloads off vSphere and onto Kubernetes is conceptually straightforward. The tooling has matured. The architecture is proven. Compute moves, storage remaps, and the platform team has a plan. The network is where projects quietly stall.

How to Improve Your IT Reliability as a Business Owner

Running a small company often feels like spinning plates. You handle sales, hiring, and finance, and hoping the computers just work. When the Wi-Fi drops or a server crashes, everything stops. Improving your tech reliability is not about fancy gear. It is about creating a stable foundation for your daily operations.

How Monitoring Tools Enhance Visibility Across Digital Platforms

There is growing confusion about what all the monitoring a business needs to do. As businesses enter new digital platforms to reach customers, they also need to establish monitoring of those new platforms in order to be successful. Of course, there are new digital platforms every day, including cloud services, websites, social media hubs and other customer service channels. While many of these platforms are always on, always collecting data for a business to mine, there is little in organization or technology to suggest that one person could monitor all of these platforms manually.

Looking Beyond Telegram in 2026: Secure Messaging Apps Worth Trying

In today's digital world, where personal correspondence can become the object of mass surveillance, and user data regularly leaks into the public space, choosing a secure messenger or a good alternative to Telegram becomes not just a matter of comfort, but a necessity to protect privacy.

5 Best SOC 2 Continuous Monitoring Tools for SaaS: Closing the 20% Manual Evidence Gap

Landing a big-logo customer feels great-until their security questionnaire hits your inbox. For most B2B SaaS teams, SOC 2 compliance is the roadblock. You connect a tool, dashboards turn green, and then stall: about 20% of evidence still needs screenshots, sign-offs, or frantic Slack chases. That last-mile grind drags engineers back into spreadsheets just when the audit seems done.

The 2026 software supply chain security gap

AI-generated code is now nearly universal. Enforcement is not. That gap is where your software supply chain is most exposed. Cloudsmith's CEO Glenn Weinstein, Co-Founder & CTO Lee Skillen, and VP of Product Alison Sickelka join Product Marketing Manager Meghan McGowan to unpack the 2026 State of Artifact Management report – a survey-based look at how AI development is reshaping the threat landscape, what organizations are getting wrong, and what the highest-leverage fix actually looks like.

Todd's Tenth Rule of certificate automation

I’m an old engineer at heart. Many of my ideals were formed by Joel’s Things You Should Never Do, Fred’s No Silver Bullet, and Brian’s Big Ball of Mud. One of my favorites was Greenspun’s Tenth Rule: The joke isn’t really about programming languages. It’s about a pattern: certain problems have a shape, and no matter how you approach them, you end up building the same solution, in the same order, until you arrive at the same messy place.

Poland's KSC Act Is Now in Force: Why NIS2 Compliance Starts with Infrastructure Automation

Poland’s implementation of the EU’s NIS2 Directive marks a decisive shift in how organisations think about cybersecurity, resilience, and operational risk. With amendments to the Act on the National Cybersecurity System (KSC Act) entering into force on 3 April 2026, enforcement expectations are now real, national, and significantly stricter than many organisations anticipated – including obligations for security controls, incident response, and supply‑chain governance.

Secure performance testing at scale: Introducing secrets management for Grafana Cloud k6

To simulate real user behavior, performance tests often rely on API keys, tokens, or credentials to interact with real systems. But as your testing suite grows, this sensitive data can start to sprawl across scripts, configs, and environments, increasing the risk of exposure and making tests harder to manage and maintain. To address this challenge, we’re rolling out secrets management for Grafana Cloud k6, the fully managed performance testing platform powered by k6 OSS.
