From iPhones to AI Servers: Foxconn's Second Act

Oct 22, 2026 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters
The AI boom continues to redistribute revenue within the technology industry. If previously the main investment interest was focused on chip manufacturers and model developers, now companies that serve the infrastructure supporting this growth are becoming increasingly prominent. One of the main beneficiaries has been Foxconn, which is gradually transforming from the largest assembler of Apple devices into one of the key suppliers of server hardware for artificial intelligence.

How to Troubleshoot Intermittent Network Issues After They Happen

Oct 21, 2026 By Teneo In Teneo
One of the most frustrating challenges I faced as a network engineer was troubleshooting problems that had already disappeared. A user would call and report that an application was performing terribly. A site would become unusable for several minutes. Voice calls would break up. File transfers would suddenly slow to a crawl.

Why 76% of AI agent pilots stall, and how your Agentic ITOps pilot can avoid the same fate

Oct 21, 2026 By Sam Osborn In BigPanda
The debate is no longer whether AI belongs in ITOps; it’s about how quickly it can be implemented, how to measure it, and who’s accountable when it acts. And although IT leaders across industries are scrambling to integrate agentic AI into their operations, those deployments are facing serious challenges. A new Harris Poll survey of more than 300 U.S. data and AI decision-makers puts a number on the problem.

CertKit now has 86 built-in deployment templates

Oct 21, 2026 By Todd H. Gardner In CertKit
There are lots of ways to get a certificate. Getting it onto your Cisco ISE, IBM i, or WatchGuard VPN is the hard part. We keep making that easier. Since July, CertKit has added 51 new deployment templates, more than doubling the library to 86. Each platform has a built-in deployment template, and most have a deployment guide for the setup details. Setup is just picking a certificate and setting a few variables.

Monitoring the Monitor: When One of Our Uptime Vendors Went Quiet for 27 Hours

Oct 21, 2026 By Matt Rideout In DNS Check
DNS Check watches its own infrastructure with several layers of monitoring, including DNS Check itself and third-party uptime monitoring services. One of those vendors polls a private health endpoint on our servers every five minutes, from probes around the world. That endpoint runs a set of internal checks (disk space, mail delivery, background job queues, DNS resolvers, and more) and returns an error if any of them fail. If it errors or stops responding, the vendor alerts us.
