We wrote the docs

Jun 17, 2026 By Todd H. Gardner In CertKit
Most security vendors hide their documentation behind a login. Some don’t write it at all. You get a sales page, a demo, and a request to install an agent on your servers, and you’re expected to trust that the thing does what the marketing says. That’s backwards. So we wrote the docs, and we put all of them at certkit.io/docs. No login, no account gate, no “contact us for details.” You can read every page before you create an account.

Template: Streamlining open source design contributions

Jun 16, 2026 By Nina Rojc In Canonical
As designers working at Canonical, we’re always thinking about open source. We believe that encouraging more designers to contribute to open source benefits everyone, from the project maintainers to the end users themselves. In the 2025 edition of FOSSBackstage conference, we presented our research findings on why designers don’t get involved in open source projects and found a particular breakdown between designers and project maintainers.

Beyond Mythos: responding to a new threat landscape

Jun 16, 2026 By Lech Sandecki In Canonical
Canonical’s security philosophy has always been built on the premise that vulnerabilities exist and will be discovered. Our response relies on defense-in-depth architecture, rapid patch deployment, and strict adherence to Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure (CVD). AI changes vulnerability discovery volume and speed. We have a robust vulnerability management process that is backed by rigorous compliance certifications.

Shipped: Stop rebuilding Views from scratch

Jun 16, 2026 By Kaitlin Woo In CloudZero
In Explorer, you build a filter set and group-by to answer a cost question, and often that’s exactly the configuration you’d want to save for later. But saving it as a View meant navigating away from Explorer, opening the Views page, and rebuilding the same configuration from scratch: filter by filter, dimension by dimension. That friction was enough to discourage saving exploratory analysis as a View at all You can now save any Explorer analysis as a View in place.

AI pricing explained: what AI actually costs and how providers charge for it in 2026

Jun 16, 2026 By Lyne Carolyne In CloudZero
AI pricing covers the cost structures and billing models providers use to charge for AI products: per-token APIs (GPT-4o at $2.50/1M input tokens), per-seat subscriptions (Copilot at $30/user/month), per-conversation billing (Agentforce at $2/conversation), and consumption-based GPU compute (H100 instances at $55.04/hour). There is no standard. The total AI cost is almost always higher than the sticker price.

8 IT Infrastructure Automation Use Cases to Prioritize

Jun 16, 2026 By Zack Austin In Resolve
IT infrastructure automation sounds simple enough on the surface, right? You take repetitive infrastructure work, turn it into automated workflows, and give engineers more time for higher-value problems. This may seem easy, but in practice, it gets more interesting. Modern IT environments are spread across cloud platforms, legacy systems, identity tools, ITSM platforms, monitoring systems, network devices, and business-critical applications.
