VirtualMetric DataStream + Splunk: Pre-Ingest CIM Normalization Without the TA Tax

Splunk is built around a deceptively simple premise: get your data in, search it, and act on it. In practice, the gap between “get your data in” and “data that actually works in Splunk ES” is where most of the engineering effort goes. CIM normalization is non-trivial. Technology Add-on development is slow. Volume-based licensing penalizes growth. And the combination means that as environments expand, Splunk becomes harder to operate efficiently.

Feature Friday: Using Entity Relationship Types to Map the Perfect March Madness Bracket

Can an EngOps Platform help you win your family March Madness pool? It’s that time of year again, and the stakes are high. Despite watching hundreds of hours of basketball, we're tired of losing bets to a mom who barely follows the sport. This year, we’re leveling the playing field using Cortex. In this, we’re moving beyond microservices to show you the power of Entity Relationship Types. Watch as we take a chaotic tournament bracket and turn it into a structured, navigable engineering ecosystem.

Resolve's Zero Ticket Minute - Ep. 15 #agenticai #itautomation #aiautomation

Agentic AI can act, decide, and resolve on its own. Powerful, but it comes with real risk. Without the right guardrails, autonomy can lead to data exposure, compliance issues, and unintended actions at scale. This episode shows how to keep control with governed, deterministic automation.

FinOps Leaders Who Will Win The AI Era Are Already Experimenting

Engineering teams are shipping faster than ever. AI coding tools like Claude Code and OpenAI’s Codex have quietly removed some of the biggest friction points in the development cycle — and the result is that FinOps teams are being asked to keep up with a pace most practitioners haven’t fully reckoned with yet. That acceleration has a cost consequence. More shipping means more services, more experiments, more infrastructure spun up without review cycles.

Harness AI for Argo CD

Managing GitOps at scale shouldn’t feel like an endless game of "Whac-A-Mole." In this 3-minute demo, we show how Harness AI moves beyond simple syncs to provide agentic troubleshooting and automated orchestration for your entire GitOps estate. Watch as we use the Harness DevOps Agent to: Identify Common Failure Patterns: Instead of clicking through individual clusters, we ask the AI to analyze 4 out-of-sync applications simultaneously.
