Oct 28, 2025 By Cristina Buenahora Bustamante In Cortex
If you're anything like your peers, you probably blinked in April and found yourself a month away from Black Friday when you opened your eyes.

Oct 28, 2025 By Larry Advey In CloudZero
SaaS, AI, and technology spending today looks like a more intense version of how it was a decade ago when everyone first migrated to the cloud.

Oct 28, 2025 By Rachel Whitener In CloudZero
Every finance team knows this pain. The cloud bill continues to grow, but the numbers don’t quite add up. Engineering swears their usage reports are accurate. But when you ask, “Which product or customer drove last month’s 18% cost increase?” things go quiet. That silence usually means one thing. Inaccurate cost allocation. Native cloud cost allocation tools from AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud can help. However, they often stop at the average this or average that layer.

SLA, SLO, and SLI: Understanding the Foundations of Service Reliability

Oct 28, 2025 By samyatimohanty In Spike
Last week, I ordered a pizza on a food delivery app. And they promised the delivery in 30 minutes. Similarly, all digital services: Apps, websites, cloud platforms, etc, make promises about speed, uptime, and reliability. The difference is how they track and measure those promises. That’s where SLA, SLO, and SLI come in. These three metrics define what “reliable” actually means. They turn a vague claim like “99.9% uptime” into something you can measure, track, and act on.

BygoneSSL and the certificate that wouldn't die

Oct 27, 2025 By Todd H. Gardner In CertKit
Turns out the scariest thing about SSL certificates isn’t when they expire. It’s when they don’t. I wrote about the CA/Browser fight that led to the 47-day certificate mandate. CAs crying about lost revenue, browsers flexing their root program authority, enterprises stuck in the middle. But nobody talks about the security research that started it all: BygoneSSL at DEFCON 2018. Two researchers mining Certificate Transparency logs found something surprising.
