The Indirect Cost Trap: Why Your Margins Look Better Than They Are (And How To Fix It)

When a SaaS company scales, something curious happens. The cloud bill grows. One team swears it’s Kubernetes. Another blames the Black Friday promo. But when you’re unsure whether that increase is tied to healthy SaaS growth or simply overspending, your margins are already at risk. That gap between what’s spent and what’s understood is where indirect costs live. Yet these costs rarely show up in dashboards. Well, until it’s too late.

The rhythm of reliability: inside Canonical's operational cadence

In software engineering, we often talk about the “iron triangle” of constraints: time, resources, and features. You can rarely fix all three. At many companies, when scope creeps or resources get tight, the timeline is often the first element of the triangle to slip. At Canonical, we take a different approach. For us, time is the fixed constraint. This isn’t just about strict project management. It is a mechanism of trust.

Harnessing the potential of 5G with Kubernetes: a cloud-native telco transformation perspective

Telecommunications networks are undergoing a cloud-native revolution. 5G promises ultra-fast connectivity and real-time services, but achieving those benefits requires an infrastructure that is agile, low-latency, and highly reliable. Kubernetes has emerged as a cornerstone for telecom operators to meet 5G demands.

Store Docker images in Bitbucket with Bitbucket Packages | Bitbucket Blitz | Atlassian

In this video, I’ll show you how to store your Docker images directly in Bitbucket using Bitbucket Packages, so your code, CI/CD, and container images all live in one place. Bitbucket Packages is a native Docker registry for Bitbucket. By keeping your images alongside your repositories and pipelines, you can reduce tech stack complexity and enhance your security posture by managing permissions in a single system, rather than juggling yet another external registry, such as Docker Hub or Artifactory.

What is cloud parity? The future of flexible and sovereign cloud computing

Back in 2024, I officially put a name to a concept at Civo we had been developing for many years. I called it cloud parity. When Civo was incepted, two completely different worlds existed, the public cloud dominated by Amazon, Microsoft and Google, and the private cloud dominated mainly by VMware.

Top Data Center Management Trends to Watch in 2026

The pace of change in data center operations shows no sign of slowing, and 2026 is shaping up to be another year of rapid evolution. AI-driven demand is accelerating, hybrid architectures are growing more complex, and capacity constraints are forcing teams to rethink how they plan and operate their environments. Against this backdrop, data center professionals are reassessing the tools, processes, and strategies they rely on every day.

Building dbRosetta Part 5: We Need an API

Because I don’t want to have to fight with our support team (they’re awesome, but busy) I decided that, initially, I’m going to host dbRosetta at ScaryDBA.com. I have full control of the web site, and I won’t be breaking Redgate Software entirely if I accidently do something silly. Before starting the process of developing our next prompt, or set of prompts, I discussed the project with CoPilot. We agreed to break the next part into two pieces.

FinOps Insights for IT Leaders

FinOps insights for IT leaders often focus on cloud spend, but IT leaders know that real cost drivers extend across hybrid environments. Achieving clarity requires more than budget reports. It requires understanding how workloads behave over time, how performance and capacity shift, and where visibility gaps hide operational and financial risk. To support those efforts, we sat down with Tim Conley, creator of Galileo, to explore practical FinOps insights for IT leaders.
