We have all watched AI speed up the way we write software. With tools like Copilot and ChatGPT, developers can spin up boilerplate, write complex functions, or draft entire micro services in minutes instead of days. It feels like magic. But there is a silent catch that we do not talk about enough: writing the code is only Day 1. The real challenge is Day 2 operations, which is everything that happens after that code is deployed.

CRA compliance is similar to other frameworks, like ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, or PCI DSS, in that the same approach applies: define your scope, figure out your product classification, then work through the list of controls. This video covers why that's less daunting than it sounds: CRA compliance isn't a one-time milestone. If you're selling into Europe, you need to continuously meet it.

The VM Boom For AI Agents | David Crawshaw Co-Founder & CEO, exe.dev

Sep 8, 2026 By Megaport In Megaport
What happens when AI agents stop simply answering questions and start using computers of their own? It could create an entirely new boom in virtual machines. In this episode of Uplink, David Crawshaw, Co-Founder and CEO of exe.dev, joins host Michael Reid to explore the infrastructure behind the rapidly emerging world of AI agents. As agents become capable of writing code, running applications, operating tools, maintaining state, and working independently, they need more than access to an AI model. They need computing environments where they can actually get work done.

Improvise your Operational Readiness Testing (ORT) with Harness

Sep 8, 2026 By Uma Mukkara In Harness
Most Operational Readiness Testing (ORT) programs follow the same ritual. A checklist gets filled out. Someone runs a load test in a war room the week before launch. A failover drill gets scheduled, and everyone hopes it goes cleanly. Then the release is shipped and testing is done. But with Harness you can make this process continuous and your services resilience is protected with the same ORT check list with every small change that is happening in your SDLC.

What is Backup and Disaster Recovery? A Complete Guide

Sep 7, 2026 By Serena Toh In Megaport
Learn what backup and disaster recovery means, how BDR works, and why it matters for reducing downtime and data loss. Backup and disaster recovery (BDR) is what keeps data loss from becoming a business-wide catastrophe. And to protect their business, IT teams need to ask if they can recover the right data, in the right order, fast enough for the business to keep operating. A backup can preserve a copy of a file, database, or workload, but disaster recovery is what brings the wider service back online.

Container hardening isn't a substitute for artifact management

Hardened base images are a great secure foundation. They're minimal, security-vetted, and have few dependencies to worry about. But almost nobody ships a bare base image. Teams build on top of it. This video cover whys that "on top of it" layer is where the risk actually lives: Skip the base image hardening and you're building on a shaky foundation.

Database Branching Explained: How It Works and When to Use It

Sep 5, 2026 By Rosemary Asufi In Devart
Database branching solves a strange mismatch in modern development: code gets its own branch, but the database often doesn’t. Developers can work independently in Git, then end up sharing the same development database, waiting for a fresh copy, or trying not to break each other’s schema changes. The result is a lot of database sprawl.

GPT-6 Astra is OpenAI's flagship reasoning model, released September 3, 2026. It costs $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens on the standard API tier, with cached input at $1 and cache writes at $12.50. That is 2.5 times GPT-5.6 Sol's promotional rate and matches Anthropic's Fable 5.1 on both headline numbers. Batch and Flex halve those rates, Fast mode doubles them, and any prompt past 272K input tokens reprices the entire request.

Microsoft Took 8 Months to Fix This Copilot Vulnerability

Sep 4, 2026 By Harness In Harness
Microsoft finally patched a critical Copilot vulnerability nearly eight months after researchers first disclosed it — and the way the attack worked raises some unsettling questions about AI memory. The vulnerability chained together multiple flaws that could allow a malicious prompt hidden inside a webpage to be pulled into Copilot simply by asking it to summarize the page. From there, the attack could potentially access connected data from services like Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Calendar and exfiltrate that information using Copilot’s own capabilities. But the most concerning part may have been persistence.

Having a redundant failsafe is one of the best things you can do to ensure high availability in the cloud. It’s rare for cloud regions to go offline, but it can happen, even on major platforms like Azure. While you might not have control over your provider’s reliability, you do have control over your own, and redundancy is a key part of that. Here’s how you can check if your Application Gateways are availability zone (AZ) redundancy, and how to verify redundancy using active testing.

Your DHCP server knows which addresses it assigned. It does not know which of those addresses are answering on the wire right now. That gap shows up in every hybrid network where static devices, reservations, and stale leases sit beside active workloads. Leased and live are different questions. DHCP scopes answer the first. Subnet ping-sweep answers the second. Together they give IPAM fresher last-seen context without handing an NMS credentials across the network.

Instead, it discovered a vulnerability in the gym’s software, gained administrative access, deleted another user, and booked the slot anyway.

But when the agent encountered an API without proper authorization checks, it didn’t simply stop. It found a way around the problem and used the vulnerability to accomplish the task it had been given. And that creates a much bigger question.

Infrastructure, network, application, and service desk teams hop on with different fragments of context. Meanwhile, executives want to know the scope, customer impact, and expected recovery time. This is not the moment to decide who is in command or how often updates should go out.

Shipped: Find the S3 buckets paying early delete fees

Sep 1, 2026 By Kevin Lamb In CloudZero
S3 lifecycle rules move data to Standard-IA or Glacier to cut storage cost. CloudZero now flags the buckets where that move backfires: an early delete fee is charged when an object leaves its tier before the tier’s minimum storage duration. The cause isn’t always a misconfigured lifecycle rule. A manual delete, an overwrite, or an object written straight into the tier by a replication or backup job produce the identical charge.

AI usage tracking: Monitor spend by team, feature & model

Sep 1, 2026 By Lyne Carolyne In CloudZero
AI usage tracking means measuring who and what consumes AI across your company, by team, feature, and model, then converting the usage into spend and cost per unit of work. Provider consoles stop at totals per API key. Tracking puts names on those totals: which team, which product, which model, and whether any of it was worth the money. In May 2026, CNBC reported that “almost every Fortune 500 is tracking overall AI usage,” quoting ModelOp CTO Jim Olsen. The same reporting carried his warning.

Repo rightsizing: audit every model call in a repo you already shipped

Sep 1, 2026 By Djo Lopez In CloudZero
Repo rightsizing is a single-pass audit of every real model call in a codebase you already shipped: SDK invocations, sub-agent dispatch sites, and agent frontmatter pins. Each call site is scored on the job it actually does, and the result commits as one blueprint file you can diff next quarter. It replaces one-skill-at-a-time reviews, which miss files where a single model key covers two different jobs.

The gap between individual AI productivity and team performance

Sep 1, 2026 By Upsun In Upsun
As a product manager at Upsun with a computer engineering background, Kateryna Dvornichenko had spent months researching competing tools in the agentic development space, running tests, comparing features, and building a picture of where the market was heading. She realized the tools were impressive, but something kept standing out. "Collaboration was not the strong point of any of them," she says. "Everyone stays on their own machine with their own setup.".
