Data centre security checklist: executive oversight for compliance and continuity

Data centre security must meet strict compliance and risk standards, giving regulators, insurers, and clients confidence that critical data is protected. Without it, organisations risk audit failure, downtime, and reputational damage. For executives and auditors, data centre security is part of wider governance and risk management. Oversight means confirming that physical safeguards, environmental systems, and compliance frameworks are in place and can be trusted.

KubeCon Europe 2026 | Universal Mesh: Connect and Secure Everything

Service mesh was a good start. But the industry needs something more comprehensive. At KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2026, HAProxy's Baptiste Assmann presents a new architectural vision: Universal Mesh — a boundary-first approach that unifies North-South and East-West traffic management into a single platform, without sidecar overhead.

Introducing: Final Steps in Bitbucket Pipelines

If you’ve ever run a pipeline, you’ve certainly encountered the following situation: The pipeline fails halfway through, and the cleanup script you needed at the end to tear down test infrastructure or archive the logs never gets to run. Until now, there was no built-in way in Bitbucket Pipelines to guarantee that a step always executes at the end of your pipeline, regardless of what happened before it. Today, we’re fixing that.

Managing Kubernetes deployment YAML across multi-cloud enterprise fleets

At enterprise scale, managing provider-specific Kubernetes YAML across multiple clouds creates crippling configuration drift and operational toil. By adopting an agentic Kubernetes management platform, infrastructure teams abstract cloud-specific configurations (like ingress controllers and storage classes) into a single, declarative intent that automatically reconciles across 1,000+ clusters.

90% AI Adoption. Still Failing. DORA Explains Why.

AI adoption is nearly universal. So why are most teams still struggling? In this session from GitKon, Nathen Harvey, head of DORA at Google Cloud, shares findings from the 2025 DORA State of AI-Assisted Software Development report, drawing on data from nearly 5,000 developers worldwide. The answer isn't more AI. It's what surrounds it.

npm axios attack - What happened and how to protect your supply chain

100M+ weekly downloads. One compromised maintainer account. A remote access trojan in two active release branches. This is a 30-minute breakdown of the Axios npm supply chain attack – how it happened, why it was hard to detect, and what any engineering team can do right now to reduce exposure. Nigel Douglas, Head of Developer Relations at Cloudsmith, is joined by Jenn Gile, co-founder of Open Source Malware, a community-driven threat intelligence platform focused on malicious open source packages.

Konstruct product updates: Hosted control planes and multi-cloud

March signified a very important period for the Konstruct team, where we were able to focus on something we’ve heard consistently from teams: reduce the time to value without compromising control. In the previous post, we walked through how Konstruct 0.1–0.3 established the core platform model, introduced templates, and expanded GitOps into something that can represent both infrastructure and applications. With 0.4, we’re taking a more opinionated step forward.
