OWASP CI/CD Part 8: Ungoverned Usage of 3rd Party Services

Jun 20, 2025 By Nigel Douglas In Cloudsmith
The boundaries of what organizations build internally and what they adopt externally have blurred. Developers routinely integrate third-party services into critical CI/CD pipelines, often with minimal friction and limited oversight. This rapid plug-and-play convenience, while key to modern engineering velocity, is also quietly expanding the attack surface in ways many teams struggle to track - let alone govern.

Adding AI to applications using the Model Context Protocol

Jun 20, 2025 By Ian Taylor In Cloudsmith
Large Language Models (LLMs) are now at the cutting edge of mainstream AI systems. Their impact has been seismic, sparking a new gold rush as application developers transform the user experience away from clicks and commands into natural language and advanced automation. However, application developers have a barrier to overcome. AI models need data to reason and respond to a particular application domain.

Effective infrastructure automation to reduce data center costs

Jun 20, 2025 By David Beamonte In Canonical
Today, managing a data center requires striking a balance between cost, security, and performance. Long-term costs are a different matter, even though upfront capital expenditures (CapEx) like real estate and hardware are well-known and reasonably predictable. According to industry surveys, operational expenses (OpEx), which include system provisioning, patching, compliance, and troubleshooting, steadily increase over time and frequently exceed 50% of total cost of ownership (TCO) by the third year.

Prometheus Logging Explained for Developers

Jun 20, 2025 By Prathamesh Sonpatki In Last9
Running apps in production? You need visibility fast. Traditional logging gives you scattered events. Prometheus gives you structured, queryable data that scales. In this guide, we’ll break down how to use Prometheus for logging-style observability, where it fits in your stack, and how to plug it into tools like Grafana or your cloud-native setup.

Docker Stop vs Kill: When to Use Each Command

Jun 19, 2025 By Anjali Udasi In Last9
When a container starts consuming excessive memory or becomes unresponsive, you need a way to shut it down. The two primary options — docker stop and docker kill,both terminate containers, but they operate differently and have different implications. The key difference: docker stop sends SIGTERM for a graceful shutdown, then escalates to SIGKILL if the process doesn’t exit in time. docker kill skips straight to SIGKILL, terminating the container immediately.

Rollbacks, Red Eyes And Unreliable Deployments

Jun 19, 2025 By Felicity Questier In Redgate
We spoke to data professionals from a range of industries about the impact of unreliable database deployments — not just on their systems, but on their workload, time, and well-being. From delayed releases to weekend firefighting, and the fallout for teams and customers, they share the day-to-day pressures they face and the small changes that help make deployments, and life, a little less stressful. What stood out from these conversations?

Smarter Data Center Capacity Planning for AI Innovation

Jun 19, 2025 By Rajan Sodhi In Hyperview
Global demand for data center capacity is skyrocketing. From 2023 to 2030, power consumption across data centers is expected to grow by up to 22% annually, driven primarily by generative AI (GenAI) workloads. By 2030, AI workloads are predicted to account for 70% of total demand. This demand doesn’t just mean more hardware; it necessitates high-density computing environments to support training large language models like GPT and real-time inference systems.
