How to manage Ubuntu fleets using on-premises Active Directory and ADSys

The “hybrid fleet” is today’s reality: organizations diversify operating systems while Microsoft Active Directory (AD) remains the dominant identity “source of truth.” IT administrators must ensure Linux machines, like Ubuntu desktops and servers, behave as first-class citizens in this environment.

Harness Ships Five Capabilities to Power Confident Releases at AI Speed | Harness Blog

The pace of AI-assisted development has outgrown how most teams actually ship. Harness is closing that gap. Engineering teams are generating more shippable code than ever before — and today, Harness is shipping five new capabilities designed to help teams release confidently. AI coding assistants lowered the barrier to writing software, and the volume of changes moving through delivery pipelines has grown accordingly. But the release process itself hasn't kept pace.

Is OpenTelemetry overkill? There's a lazier (and better) way. #speedscale #sre #ebpf #kubernetes

If you "aspire to be lazy" like we do, you know that building staging environments and mocking complex back-ends (like MySQL, AI models, and 3rd party APIs) is a massive time sink. In this demo, we show you how to use Internet Magic (aka eBPF) to: Stay tuned for Part 2, where we take these recordings and spin up a staging environment automatically.

KubeCon Europe 2026: AI Is Shipping Code Faster Than Orgs Can Govern It

KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2026 recently brought the cloud native community to Amsterdam. We were there all week bouncing between the booth, a Braintrust event with engineering leaders from across the community, and more hallway conversations than we can count. One talking point dominated the week: AI is shipping code faster than most engineering orgs can govern it. It also became clear that we weren't the only ones talking about this challenge.

Kubecost Vs. OpenCost: What's The Difference? (Updated 2026)

Kubernetes (K8s) adoption has exploded over the past few years. But it hasn’t been easy to monitor, manage, and optimize K8s costs. To provide greater cost visibility into Kubernetes clusters and environments, Kubecost launched in 2019 and was acquired by IBM in 2024, while OpenCost debuted in 2022. OpenCost has several founding contributors. But Kubecost developed the cost allocation engine that the OpenCost implementation uses.

Cloud Sovereignty: Location, Access, and Jurisdiction

Cloud residency has moved from a technical preference to a board-level control question, as organisations are being asked to evidence who can access data, under which jurisdictions, and what happens when something goes wrong across borders. A Gartner survey of CIOs and IT leaders in Western Europe found that 61% expect geopolitical factors to increase their reliance on local or regional cloud providers, while also predicting that by 2030, more than 75% of enterprises outside the US will have a digital sovereignty strategy.
