Why AI Adoption Fails Without Operational Maturity First

Aug 24, 2026 By Amanda Doucette-Lachapelle In Auvik
Most MSPs are already experimenting with AI in some form, and every vendor at every conference has an AI for MSPs pitch ready. Few have stopped to check whether their own operations are solid enough to scale. Our 2026 IT Trends Report found that three-quarters of IT leaders believe they have an AI policy, while fewer than half of help desk staff agree. That’s the real risk: AI doesn’t fix drift, unclear ownership, or gaps between what’s documented and what’s actually happening.

Monitor Azure Functions across every hosting plan with Datadog

Aug 24, 2026 By Datadog In Datadog
Microsoft’s Azure Functions serverless compute service abstracts away infrastructure management to simplify how teams deploy and operate applications. However, the managed environment can make it harder to understand what happens inside those applications after deployment. Traditional approaches that rely on agents, extensions, and sidecars for direct collection of telemetry data aren’t available across every Azure Functions hosting plan, which can leave gaps in end-to-end visibility.

How OnPage Eliminates Alert Noise for IT Ops Teams in 2026

Aug 24, 2026 By Michelle Chua In OnPage
IT Ops teams face two failures that pull in opposite directions: responders interrupted so often that they stop reacting, and a truly critical alert lost inside that same flood. Alert noise and alert fatigue describe those two problems, and treating them as one usually makes both worse. This article shows how to reduce interruptions without making critical incidents easier to miss.

GitKraken Desktop 12.4 Release: Multiple WIPs, Approve/Deny Agents, and more!

Aug 24, 2026 By GitKraken In GitKraken
What if you could counterspell an agent action? GitKraken Desktop 12.4 pulls the whole AI agent workflow into one place, so you stay in the flow. Back in 12.0 we shipped Agent Sessions, where you kick off AI coding agents right inside the context of your repo. GitKraken 12.4 builds on that. What's new in 12.4: This release is not about handing more of your work to agents. It's about seeing everything they do, and deciding what actually changes.

AI Red Team Agents Automate Attacks on your AI Agents. Runtime Policies Automate their Defense.

Aug 24, 2026 By Alister Baroi In Tigera
The AI red teaming market grew up fast this year. OpenAI bought Promptfoo, Cisco and Microsoft shipped automated attack suites, and a seed-stage startup publicly compromised 50 of 55 live customer service bots. These platforms find real problems at a scale no human team can match. But when you read the findings closely, a pattern emerges: agents talked into refunds, transfers, and data leaks they had standing authority to perform. Patching the prompt fixes one phrasing until the next model update.

What Is S3-compatible Backup Storage?

Aug 24, 2026 By Mark Austen In Megaport
A backup is only useful if the data is still there when something goes wrong — and if it can be restored quickly enough to matter. As backup volumes grow, teams need more capacity without losing control of recovery performance or cost. S3-compatible backup storage gives teams another way to handle that pressure. It uses the familiar Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) API model without requiring backup data to live in Amazon S3 itself.

Migrate your app to Upsun Cloud without a rewrite

Aug 24, 2026 By Upsun In Upsun
Application migrations stall for a predictable reason: the demanding part is rarely the application code itself. It is the infrastructure around it: the deployment logic, pipeline, and environment configuration that has to be rebuilt. That surrounding work is what turns a migration into a multi-month project, and it is why teams stay on infrastructure that no longer serves them. Upsun Cloud reduces migration to a much smaller task.
