Why local internet traffic matters more than you think

Dec 16, 2025 By Mike Hoy In Pulsant
Imagine sending a letter to your neighbour across the street, only for it to be routed through London or even Amsterdam before landing in their letterbox. This is effectively what happens to much of Scotland’s internet traffic. Despite physical proximity between users, businesses and services, digital data is frequently sent on needlessly long journeys, often leaving the country before reaching its destination.

Dec 15, 2025 By Civo In Civo
For decades, there have been two incompatible worlds in cloud: Public (AWS, Google, Microsoft) and Private (VMware, Nutanix). Moving between them meant throwing everything away and re-architecting your systems. Civo is rewriting that script.

Cloud Cost Governance: Architecting Accountability And Business Value

Dec 15, 2025 By Keith MacKenzie In CloudZero
Imagine this. A product team rolls out a change to improve reliability. The deployment succeeds. Traffic grows. Weeks later, cloud costs increase, and the finance team asks what changed.

Dec 15, 2025 By Datadog In Datadog

Here's how it works: They sync real-time resource inventory (EC2 instances, Kubernetes pods) into Iceberg tables, then use Trino to join those snapshots with unit pricing data. The result? FinOps teams can catch cost anomalies before they become budget disasters.
