The entire cloud stack is just pizza and we can't unsee it

The acronym soup is the universal IT rite of passage. So we explained the whole stack with the one thing everyone already understands: pizza. From making the dough yourself to just opening the box, there’s a version for every level of “how much do you actually want to manage.” Alexis can give the full breakdown in the time it takes to decide what you'll order.

Extending the Application Edge with F5 BIG-IP VE and Megaport Virtual Edge

Learn how F5 BIG-IP VE simplifies multicloud application delivery, security, and traffic management with MVE. As enterprise applications continue spreading across multiple clouds, the application edge is changing.

Trace without traces

A customer emailed on a Tuesday: checkout hung for ten seconds. I opened our tracing tool, punched in the time window, and got nothing. The trace was sampled out. We keep 1% of traces, like most shops with real traffic do. The one request that actually mattered was in the 99% we threw away.

You Can't Detect What You Never Collect: Telemetry Coverage in the Agentic SOC

Every detection rule, every threat hunt, every AI agent you deploy rests on one silent assumption: that the data describing an attack actually reached your tools. When it doesn’t, nothing above it can save you, and no one gets an alert that the data was missing. Security teams invest heavily in the sharp end of the stack: detection content, threat intelligence, response playbooks, and increasingly, AI agents to triage and investigate at machine speed.

Why compliance audits keep slowing your engineering team down

If you've shipped software in fintech, healthcare, or government, you probably know the specific dread of an upcoming compliance audit. Not because the software isn't secure, but because proving it is requires reconstructing a paper trail for decisions that were made in Jira tickets, Slack threads, and pull request comments over the last six months. The software is fine. The documentation of the software is the problem.
