Digital sovereignty: US sanctions and the control of European cloud

Dec 1, 2025 By Civo In Civo
"There's a big potential kill switch sitting on his desk." This clip from our Digital Sovereignty Panel exposes a fundamental threat: how US geopolitical interests can compel cloud providers like Microsoft to suspend services, even for international organizations. Panelist Johan David Michels discusses the shocking case of the ICC prosecutor, Karim Khan, whose work email was withdrawn by Microsoft following US sanctions. This illustrates the fundamental lack of digital sovereignty over data hosted by US hyperscalers.

Dec 1, 2025 By Ron Northcutt In HAProxy
At KubeCon, we asked a simple question at our booth: "How much is your service mesh costing you?" The answers were eye-opening. Engineers shared stories of 40% resource overhead, multi-second latency spikes during peak traffic, and infrastructure bills that had nearly doubled since mesh adoption. One architect told us they were spending more time managing their mesh than building features.

All Is Calm, All Is Compliant: Staying Audit-Ready Through the Year-End Rush

Dec 1, 2025 By Teneo In Teneo
As the year winds down, I find that most cybersecurity and compliance teams are focused on closing projects, hitting targets, and maybe even planning a well-earned break. But regulators? They don’t take holidays. FCA, PRA, GDPR – they remain vigilant, and so should you. For IT leaders, this season often feels like walking a tightrope: balancing operational demands with the relentless need for compliance.

From FinOps for AI to AI-Native FinOps

Dec 1, 2025 By Erik Peterson In CloudZero
One year ago, at AWS re:Invent, we launched CloudZero Advisor, a free, standalone AI assistant that enables anyone to ask questions about cloud spend in plain language.

Data control with CivoStack Enterprise: Beyond the air-gap debate

Dec 1, 2025 By Russell Smith In Civo

Adding air‑gap to the discussion often turns the conversation into a binary: either the system is completely cut off from the outside world or it isn’t. In practice the reality sits somewhere in between.

How To Migrate Away From DogStatsD Using Telegraf

Dec 1, 2025 By Benjamin Pitts In MetricFire
Datadog is a popular monitoring platform, and one of its key components is DogStatsD which is a customized extension of the original open-source StatsD protocol.
