Microsoft Copilot and Archived SharePoint Content: The Visibility Gap
Microsoft Copilot cannot see archived SharePoint content in either Microsoft 365 Archive or standard third-party archives. Here's why - and how to close the gap.

Policy as Code Tools & Examples to Make Better Infrastructure Easier, Anywhere
You’re scaling your IT infrastructure so you can do more — deploying across clouds and data center, adding servers, coding like crazy. Great! But how do you keep it all from falling apart? Policy as code is an approach to managing IT that strategically leverages infrastructure as code (IaC) and compliance as code to manage consistent policies across complex IT environments. Sounds perfect, right?
The Future of FinOps: Engineering, Applications & Cloud Cost Accountability
In this episode of the FinOps on Azure Podcast, Michael Stephenson is joined by Ben DeBow, Founder and CEO of Fortified, to discuss the next evolution of FinOps and why cloud cost management needs to move beyond dashboards, reporting, and allocation. Ben shares insights from years of helping enterprises optimize cloud spend and explains why the biggest savings opportunities are often hidden inside applications, workloads, and engineering decisions—not infrastructure.
Top Considerations When Evaluating DCIM Vendors
Choosing a Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) platform is one of the more consequential decisions a data center team will make. Get it right, and you gain an accurate digital twin of your physical infrastructure, a single source of truth across teams, improved operational visibility, and a platform for planning, reporting, and automation. Get it wrong, and you risk a failed deployment, a platform that doesn't fit your needs, or a shelfware investment that's hard to justify renewing.
A practical guide to standardizing app delivery without rebuilding everything internally
Standardize the route from code to production. Everything else is a team decision, not a platform problem. Most app delivery problems do not start with bad engineering. They start with too much variation. One team provisions environments manually. Another keeps deployment notes in a wiki. A third has a staging setup that only one engineer understands. Security reviews happen late because the platform does not make the safe path obvious.
Beneath the Stack: A Software Engineer's Journey into Infrastructure
A software engineer's hands-on journey building a private cloud on bare-metal: Incus clustering, K3s, OVN networking, the Gateway API, and everything that breaks along the way — and what it taught them about why platforms like Qovery exist. Antoine is a senior software engineer at Qovery. He writes about hands-on infrastructure engineering, Kubernetes internals, and the realities of running production systems.
From Visibility to Real Savings: Turning FinOps Insights into Measurable Cost Reduction
FinOps programs are maturing, and most organizations have better visibility into cloud spend than ever before. Dashboards are full of data. And yet costs keep climbing. The problem isn’t the data. It’s the gap between knowing where the waste is and actually eliminating it. In this joint session, Tangoe and Kubex come together to bridge that gap. Tangoe brings deep expertise in spend management and FinOps discipline, while Kubex delivers infrastructure-level optimization across cloud, Kubernetes, and the AI and GPU workloads that are rapidly becoming the next frontier of cost pressure.
Shipped: Counting tokens isn't enough. Start connecting them to outcomes.
You’re funding AI across four billing relationships – Anthropic direct, OpenAI, Claude through Bedrock, Claude through Vertex – and the spend climbs every month. When your CEO asks what it’s producing, you have a number and no answer. Not which product it built, which customer it served, or which bet it’s paying off. And you’re being asked to approve more of it.
Shipped: One Dimension gives you a list. Two gives you the story.
One dimension gives you a list. Two gives you a story. Now you can slice by two dimensions simultaneously, right in CloudZero Explorer.
Certificate lineage: the concept your tools already use but nobody named
The word “certificate” means too many different things. When someone says “the certificate for example.com,” they might mean the public key the CA signed. They might mean the key-pair sitting on the filesystem. They might mean the signature that expires in 47 days. Or they might mean all the things together, that you’ve been renewing for the last 10 years. That last one doesn’t have a name in any PKI standard. And it should.
