Kubex and Tangoe Partner to Deliver Unified Cloud, Kubernetes, and FinOps Optimization

Enterprises operating at cloud scale today face a growing reality: managing infrastructure performance and cost in silos no longer works. Kubernetes, multi cloud environments, and GPU accelerated workloads deliver immense agility and capability, but they also introduce complexity that outpaces traditional monitoring and cost governance approaches.

Weekly vs. split-week on-call rotations: A guide to finding the right rhythm

When you move past daily rotations but find anything longer than a week feels too stretched out, you often end up choosing between weekly and split-week rotations. Weekly rotations give you a full seven days before handing off. Split-week rotations break that time into smaller chunks like 2-day, 3-day, or 4-day shifts. Each approach creates a different rhythm for your team. This guide compares both patterns across three key criteria.

AI Is Forcing A Return To Hybrid And Multi-Cloud (Here's What To Do Now)

For most of the last decade, the direction of cloud strategy was clear: standardize, consolidate, and reduce sprawl. Engineering teams worked to pick a primary cloud, reduce vendor dependencies, and simplify their stacks. FinOps teams unwound years of fragmentation. Platform teams built guardrails to make sure it didn’t happen again. Then AI arrived, and it’s a fundamentally different class of workload. AI demands specialized hardware and, increasingly, diverging providers.

SQL Server 2025 is generally available on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Microsoft has announced the General Availability (GA) of SQL Server 2025 on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, starting with the CU1 release. This milestone allows enterprises to deploy mission-critical workloads on our latest Long Term Support release, benefiting from predictable stability and up-to-date kernels.

(Tech Talk) Shipping with Context Knowledge Graphs as the Backbone of AI-First Software Delivery

Knowledge graphs are essential to solving the context bottleneck in AI-First software delivery, which occurs because workflows, policies, and dependencies are siloed and invisible to AI agents. In this Tech Talk, Prateek Mittal ((Product Director of AI Core and Data Platform at Harness)) discusses the key concepts: Knowledge Graphs vs. Observability: Observability tells you "what is happening," while knowledge graphs tell you "what does that mean" by modeling structured relationships. They work together to link live signals to affected services or SLAs.

Introducing Harness Artifact Registry | Unified. Secure. Built for the Future Artifact Management

Managing build artifacts today is harder than it should be. Fragmented tools, security blind spots, and disconnected developer workflows make it difficult to keep builds safe, consistent, and production-ready. In this walkthrough, Shibam Dhar, DevRel Engineer at Harness, shows how Harness Artifact Registry unifies artifact management across the entire software delivery lifecycle — from creation to deployment — while improving security and developer experience.

We Built an MCP Server

When I joined Kubex last year, the company was already well aware of the growing power of Large Language Models. As a company focused on intelligent resource optimization for Kubernetes, GPUs, and cloud infrastructure, generative AI didn’t feel like a threat so much as a natural extension of where the industry was heading. Kubex had already invested heavily in machine learning, but it was becoming clear that foundation models could unlock an entirely new class of capabilities for our customers.

How Dartmouth avoided vendor lock-in and implemented LBaaS with HAProxy One

History is everywhere at Dartmouth College, and while the campus is steeped in tradition, its IT infrastructure can’t afford to get stuck in the past. In an institution where world-class research and undergraduate studies intersect, technology must be fast, invisible, and – above all – reliable. That reliability was put to the test when Dartmouth’s load balancing vendor was acquired twice in five years, as Avi Networks moved to VMware and VMware moved to Broadcom.
