Early Warning Signs Your Network Needs a Refresh

Is your network holding your business back? Learn the warning signs that tell you it’s time for an upgrade before it hits your bottom line. Most network failures don’t just happen overnight, but are the result of warning signs that went unnoticed or ignored. The “if it’s not broken, don’t fix it” mindset is one of the most common and costly mistakes in network management.

Storage For The AI Tidal Wave | VAST Data CEO Renen Hallak

AI infrastructure is entering a new phase – one where the biggest challenge may no longer be building better models, but building systems capable of feeding them. In this episode of Uplink, Michael Reid sits down with Renen Hallak, Founder and CEO of VAST Data, to explore the infrastructure realities behind the AI boom. From software-defined storage and GPU-scale architectures to neoclouds and agentic AI, this conversation dives deep into the systems powering the future of artificial intelligence.

Anatomy of the AI Software Factory: The Context Layer

This is Part 2 of the AI Software Factory series. In Part 1, we established that the Agile methodology is buckling under the weight of “elastic code.” When AI agents can generate functionality in seconds, two-week sprints and manual task management become organizational bottlenecks. We introduced the concept of the AI Software Factory: a shift from managing human tasks to managing business intent through a “Funnel of Increasing Trust.” But a factory requires infrastructure.

From Traffic Context to Confirmed Fix in 3 Minutes

We’ve been building an AI agent that can take a production bug, find the root cause in captured traffic, write a fix, and validate it before a human reviews it. We call it Agent Factory. Last week we ran it on ourselves, against a real bug in our own production service. The first thing we did was get the workflow wrong.

The Hidden Cost of Kubernetes: Why Your Cloud Bill Is 40% Higher Than It Should Be

The average enterprise running Kubernetes wastes between $2 million and $10 million annually — not from overspending, but from under-optimizing. This is the story of costs you can't see on your dashboard but that your CFO feels every quarter.

DORA Metrics in the AI Era: Why Deployment Isn't Faster

DORA metrics in the AI era reveal a paradox: PR volume is climbing, but deployment frequency is staying flat. In this talk, GitKraken's Director of Product Jeff Schinella breaks down why AI-accelerated code generation is creating a review bottleneck that your DORA metrics can't fully explain on their own. Jeff walks through how PR metrics (cycle time, first response time, code churn, and PR size) serve as the leading indicators behind your DORA data. If your deployment frequency is flat while PR counts go up, the bottleneck isn't your devs. It's your review capacity.

The sovereignty without toil guide: why compliance shouldn't require a Kubernetes tax

True data sovereignty isn't about managing your own cloud accounts; it’s about where your data resides and how it is governed. By utilizing a unified configuration file to deploy on sovereign infrastructure like OVHcloud, Upsun provides standardized sovereignty without the complexity of “Bring Your Own Cloud”.
