Ghosts of Servers Past: The Bare-Metal Comeback Story

Feb 26, 2026 By Konner Bemis In Cycle

Bare-metal. Just reading that word might trigger a physical reaction for some of us. Dusty closets, old server rooms, and loud rigs that never seemed to work quite right. Remember waiting days for IT to provision a server, only to realize your ticket got lost in the shuffle? Or the classic "well, it worked on my machine" excuse right before a production push? Ah, the good old days.

What is an escalation policy? (And why every team needs one)

Feb 26, 2026 By Sreekar In Spike

An escalation policy is the route an incident takes after it triggers. It lays out who gets alerted first and sets a wait time. If nobody responds, it moves the incident forward to the next person. The word “escalation” is worth pausing on. When an incident triggers and the first person doesn’t respond, the incident doesn’t sit and wait. It moves to the next person and keeps moving until someone picks it up. That forward movement is the escalation.

[Webinar] Conquering the Complexity of Self-Hosted Apps with Agentic AI SRE

Feb 26, 2026 By Komodor In Komodor

Most enterprise SaaS products, like Komodor’s Autonomous AI SRE Platform, require installing a remote agent on the customer’s infrastructure, which varies significantly from one organization to another, in terms of architecture, configurations, permissions, processes, and more. This “unmanaged” model creates major blind spots, making daily operations, observability, debugging, and incident response challenging. When failures occur, limited visibility and bespoke systems make root-cause analysis slow, incomplete, or impossible.

A compass for designing your escalation policy

Feb 26, 2026 By Sreekar In Spike

The first time you sit down to design an escalation policy, it can feel a little like a crossroads. You know incidents need to reach the right people. You just aren’t sure which structure makes the most sense. Should you route by severity? By who’s available? Or by team? There’s no single right answer. Think of this guide as a compass. A compass doesn’t tell you exactly where to go. It helps you orient yourself based on where you already are.
