Harness AutoStopping - FinOps Automation for Intelligent Cloud Cost Optimization | Harness Blog

Harness AutoStopping helps FinOps teams eliminate up to 70% of idle cloud spend through intelligent, policy-driven automation. By automatically stopping and restarting unused resources without disrupting developers, organizations move from reactive cost reporting to continuous, proactive cloud cost optimization.

Reliability Resolutions: How to build effective reliability programs that won't fade away

Did you know the third week of January is the most common time for people to fail New Year’s Resolutions? It doesn’t matter whether it’s exercising more, learning a new language, or just trying to drink less coffee, that initial surge of fresh New Year’s energy is fading, and if you want to make a resolution stick, this is the key time to make a lasting change. The same is true with any reliability resolutions you might have made.

How GitKraken's AI-Powered Commit Composer Eliminates Git Cleanup Headaches

As developers, we’ve all been there: a frantic coding session, a few hasty commits, and suddenly our Git history looks like a patchwork quilt of “fix,” “oops,” and “stuff.” While git rebase -i is a powerful tool for cleaning up, it’s also a source of anxiety for many, often leading to more headaches than it solves. What if you could achieve a pristine, meaningful commit history without the fear of breaking things or hours spent squashing and rewriting?

Moving Our Observability Data Collector from Sidecars to eBPF

For years, the Kubernetes sidecar pattern has been a practical way to capture observability data. Running a collector alongside each application pod gave us deep visibility into traffic, including full request and response payloads across supported protocols. However, as cloud-native environments have grown more complex, the limitations of sidecars—such as resource overhead, operational complexity, and scaling challenges—have become more apparent.

Digital Twins Gone Wild: My Unexpected AI Doppelgänger

I recently tried using AI to create a digital twin of myself. I uploaded a photo, expecting a futuristic, slightly improved version of me... and what did I get in return? A picture of Kim Jong Un. Clearly, AI has a sense of humor-or a very different definition of "twin." Forget Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito. Digital Twins 2-Now Starring My AI Doppelgänger From Speedscale's perspective, a digital twin is built from real production traffic, continuously updated, and executable in your test and CI/CD environments.

ROI of Digital Twin Testing: Cut Testing Costs by 50%

When engineering leaders review their cloud bills, they often focus on production costs—the infrastructure serving real users, processing real transactions, generating real revenue. But there’s a shadow cost lurking in every cloud environment that often goes unnoticed until it becomes painful: non-production infrastructure.

Delegated DNS validation: proving domain ownership without exposing credentials

It seems like every service wants proof you control your domain. Certificate authorities need it to issue certificates. Email platforms need it to authorize sending. Analytics needs it to gather data. Just add this magic TXT record to your DNS, wait for propagation, click verify. It works fine when it’s a one-time setup, but certificate lifetimes are dropping to 47 days, and you won’t be able to keep up on that schedule.

Resolve's Zero Ticket Video Series - Software Installation Request #itautomation #aiautomation

Software installs and access requests do not need tickets. In this Zero Ticket Video Series demo, see how RITA, Resolve’s AI-powered IT agent, automates a Jira access request end to end. RITA understands the request, validates role and policy, provisions temporary access, routes approvals automatically, and delivers full access once approved. No ticket queues. No manual handoffs. Just real resolution through agentic automation.

ServiceNow Without the Ticket Hell

ServiceNow is the system of record for change and approvals in most regulated enterprises. But when evidence lives elsewhere — scattered across CI tools, scanners, tickets, and screenshots — approvals slow down and audits become painful. Developers waste hours chasing proof. CABs approve changes without confidence. Auditors reconstruct history months later. In this video, Matt Bailey shows what changes when evidence is produced continuously, directly from the delivery pipeline, and linked into ServiceNow workflows.
