How to Install Terraform for Secure and Scalable Infrastructure Automation | Harness Blog

If your Terraform install is insecure or inconsistent, it can quickly slow down your delivery. A single compromised file or a misconfigured backend can stop deployments for many services. Teams that set up Terraform correctly from the start can scale easily and avoid compliance issues.

An Introduction to Disaster Recovery Testing: What You Need to Know in 2026 | Harness Blog

Businesses today run on computers, cloud systems, and digital tools. One big failure can stop everything. A cyber attack, a power outage, or a software glitch can shut down operations for hours or days. Disaster recovery testing is how you prove you can restore critical services when the unexpected happens. 
 In 2026, with hybrid and multi-cloud estates, distributed data, and tighter oversight, this is not a once-a-year fire drill.

Announcing Kosli's brand new docs

Good docs are how developers work with a product, from first look to daily use. That’s been true for a long time, and it’s becoming more true as developers increasingly hand that work to agents on their behalf. During the last quarter, we’ve been migrating docs.kosli.com from a static Hugo site to Mintlify, and now it’s finally live. Early reactions from our customers: “A marked improvement over the old docs in layout and usability.” “Looking sharp!”

Blind Tokenmaxxing Is The New Cloud Waste. Focus on Outcome-Maxxing Instead

Meta's internal token leaderboard sparked a frenzy — and a reckoning. Tokenmaxxing without attribution is just cloud waste 2.0. Companies like Hudl and Duolingo use cost intelligence to connect every AI dollar to a business outcome.

What Is LLM Observability? For CFOs And Engineers, The Missing Layer Is Cost

You probably have Datadog. Maybe New Relic, maybe Dynatrace. Your observability stack has been solid for years — and you're still flying blind on AI cost. Here's why LLM observability needs a fourth pillar most tools skip, and how to build one that actually tells you what your models are costing you per request, per feature, per customer.

Under the Hood: Engineering JFrog Premium Availability

In the modern software factory, 99.9% uptime is no longer the gold standard. A standard 99.9% SLA translates to approximately 43 minutes of unexpected downtime per month. While industry data shows that a single minute of downtime costs an average of $9,000, for large global enterprises, that figure can easily be 5x higher. At tens of thousands of dollars per minute, those 43 minutes quickly compound into a catastrophic financial and operational risk.

Nagios Plugins Collector: Run Your Existing Checks and Custom Scripts Inside Netdata

A lot of teams have a collection of Nagios plugins and custom monitoring scripts that have been running reliably for years. Some are standard community plugins for checking disk health or SSL certificate expiry. Others are homegrown Bash or Python scripts that check something very specific to the business: whether an API endpoint returns the right payload, whether a batch job completed on time, whether a queue depth is within bounds.

Resolve's Agents of IT podcast - Ep. 17 - Agentic Workflows to Performance Intelligence

In this episode of Agents of IT, Ari Stowe sits down with Geoff McQueen, four-time founder and CEO of Ascendius, to unpack what it takes to navigate AI-driven disruption. Geoff shares a clear framework for where automation is headed, from individual AI use to agent-driven workflows to AI embedded across the business. Most organizations are still early. The real opportunity is in making AI work at the business level.

How to Align CloudOps and FinOps for Better Azure Cost Management

The rapid migration to the cloud has brought unprecedented agility to modern enterprises, but it has also introduced a significant challenge in the form of cloud sprawl. As engineering teams provision resources at breakneck speed to support new applications and AI-driven workloads, financial departments often struggle to keep track of the escalating costs. This disconnect between operational execution and financial oversight is a primary driver of wasted cloud spend. To truly harness the power of scalable infrastructure without breaking the budget, organisations must bridge the gap between CloudOps and FinOps. Aligning these two disciplines ensures that technical performance and financial accountability work hand in hand to deliver sustainable business value. For companies heavily invested in Microsoft ecosystems, this alignment is even more crucial. Unchecked deployment can lead to massive end-of-month bill surprises, turning what should be a strategic advantage into a financial burden.

Moving Beyond SolarWinds: Building a Modern Observability Strategy

For years, platforms like SolarWinds have been a standard in IT environments. They helped teams answer a fundamental question: are systems up or down? That approach worked well when environments were more contained and predictable. The challenge is that most environments no longer operate that way. Hybrid infrastructure, cloud services, and tightly interconnected applications have changed what “visibility” needs to mean.
