last9-genai: Closing the Conversation Gap in LLM Observability

Apr 28, 2026 By Prathamesh Sonpatki In Last9
OpenTelemetry's GenAI instrumentation gives you spans and token counts. It does not give you conversations, workflow cost rollups, or prompts visible in your dashboard. last9-genai is an OTel extension that fills those three gaps — without replacing your existing observability stack. Prathamesh works as an evangelist at Last9, runs SRE stories - where SRE and DevOps folks share their stories, and maintains o11y.wiki - a glossary of all terms related to observability.

Optical Freedom as a Design Principle: How Ribbon Enables Choice and Supply Chain Resiliency

Apr 28, 2026 By Mitch Simcoe In Ribbon
Pandemic-era shortages are still fresh in many minds. As consumers, we remember empty shelves and long lines driven by panic buying and stockpiling. In telecom, the story played out differently but with the same root cause: factory shutdowns interrupted chip fabrication just as demand for networking and optical equipment surged.

Your CEO Wants You To Ramp AI Usage Without Breaking Budgets. Here's How You Can Do It

Apr 28, 2026 By Dan Carducci In CloudZero
Notes from a finance leader whose job this is. A few weeks ago, I traveled to Philadelphia for a conversation with a prospective CloudZero customer. We’d been working with the prospect’s engineering team for some weeks, demoing our platform in view of the RFP they’d drawn up. This stage had gone well, and so the next step was talking it over with the prospect’s CFO. We expected a conversation centered around the key criteria in the RFP.

Your AWS Kiro Agent Can Now Query CloudZero. Here's What To Ask It

Apr 28, 2026 By Max Kelman In CloudZero
CloudZero's new AWS Kiro integration puts cost intelligence directly in your agentic IDE. Ask plain-language questions about spend, attribution, and cost-per-serve without leaving your development workflow. We see a similar pattern playing out across engineering teams running agentic development tools: code gets shipped fast, something moves in the cost data, and understanding why still requires leaving your environment entirely.

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

Apr 28, 2026 By Puppet In Puppet
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.

Stop watching the looms: why the AI era belongs to infrastructure

Apr 28, 2026 By Upsun In Upsun
I live in Manchester, England now. I moved here from Texas last summer (which is its own story), but the thing I wasn't prepared for is how the Industrial Revolution isn't history here. It's the city itself. And if you're American like me, you might need to hear this: the Industrial Revolution didn't start in the US. It started here. Manchester is where the modern world was born. You see it everywhere. The old cotton mills converted into apartments.

Who's on call? How Claude helped us calculate this 2,500x faster

Apr 28, 2026 By Article In Incident.io
Schedules are a core part of any on-call system. In ours, they define who to page and when. But people use them in lots of other ways too: checking their next shift, asking for cover while at the gym, keeping a Slack user group up to date, or updating a Linear triage responsibility. For many of our customers, they’re one of the main ways they interact with our product, and as they’re such a foundational part of On-call, it’s very important they work well.

Ask Cortex anything, right from Slack

Apr 28, 2026 By Cortex In Cortex
The Monday morning thread. Someone asks who owns checkout-service. Someone else asks what changed in the Production Readiness Scorecard last week. A third person wants to know if the Kubernetes migration is blocking the launch next Thursday. The answers exist. They live in Cortex. But getting them into the thread means someone stops what they're doing, opens a tab, finds the data, and pastes it back. By the time they do, the conversation has moved on.
