Incident Report: Exercises, Cleanups, and Evacuations

Feb 25, 2026 By Fred Hebert In Honeycomb
Every year, Honeycomb runs disaster recovery scenarios in multiple environments, including in production. Although each of our instances runs in a single region, on at least three Availability Zones (AZs), we have multiple plans for partial regional failures, and particularly, zonal failures. One of these tests was run on December 5th, and after its successful completion came its cleanup steps.

Alerting Is a Socio-Technical System

Feb 25, 2026 By James Barnes In StatusCake
In the previous posts, we’ve looked at how alert noise emerges from design decisions, why notification lists fail to create accountability, and why alerts only work when they’re designed around a clear outcome. Taken together, these ideas point to a broader conclusion. That alerting is not just a technical system, it’s a socio-technical one. Alerting systems encode assumptions about how people behave, how responsibility is distributed, and how decisions are made under pressure.

Trusted Ownership: How Ivanti Application Control scales beyond allowlisting

Feb 25, 2026 By Patrick Kaak In Ivanti
Application control is one of those security topics where many people carry old assumptions. Traditional allowlisting feels safe but quickly becomes a maintenance burden. Blocklisting feels reactive and incomplete. And while tools like Microsoft AppLocker led many to believe that strict allowlisting is the gold standard, modern attacks have proven otherwise. Attackers increasingly rely on legitimate, signed tools — used in the wrong context — to bypass list-based controls entirely.

The Ultimate Kubernetes Cost Monitoring And Management Guide

Feb 25, 2026 By CloudZero In CloudZero
While Kubernetes enables teams to deliver more value faster, understanding and controlling Kubernetes costs remains challenging. You have disposable, replaceable compute resources constantly coming and going across a range of infrastructure types.

How AV Integrations Improve IT Operations in Modern Workplaces

Feb 25, 2026 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters
Every room passed the morning health check. Then the CEO's all-hands stuttered, audio dropped, and the service desk filled with duplicate tickets. That gap between a green dashboard and a successful meeting is where enterprise AV operations fail. AV is no longer a facilities side project, it is an IT workload.

The Hidden Cost of SaaS Sprawl: When Custom Development Makes More Sense

The Hidden Cost of SaaS Sprawl: When Custom Development Makes More Sense

Feb 25, 2026 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters
The average enterprise now spends $55.7 million on SaaS annually, an 8% jump from last year alone. Yet here is the uncomfortable truth: a significant chunk of that money is being quietly wasted on tools that overlap, go unused, or simply do not fit the way teams actually work. SaaS sprawl has become one of the most expensive and least visible problems in modern IT. And for a growing number of organizations, the answer is not another subscription. It is custom-built software designed around the way their business actually operates.
