For decades, telecom network operations have depended on traditional OSS tools – complex, services-heavy platforms that take years to modernize and even longer to deliver measurable business impact. This year at MWC, the leading OSS vendors showcased a variety of new AI extensions for their portfolios and marketed them as the fastest path to autonomous network operations. They are not.

This blog is based on the webinar, “AI panel: The next wave of AI technology”. You can watch the full recording by clicking here! The pace of AI innovation is reshaping research, business, and everyday life. However, as breakthroughs in Large Language Models (LLMs) and high-performance computing accelerate, they bring new technical challenges around scale, efficiency, and reliability.

Teams continuously deploy programmable telemetry pipelines to production, without having access to a dry-run mode. At the same time, most organizations lack staging environments that resemble production – especially with regards to observability and other platform-level services.

Artificial intelligence recently took a major leap from “saying” to “doing.” Instead of simple back-and-forth chats, we’re now allowing automated AI processes to take action on our behalf—from responding to emails to building and deploying complete applications. This shift from “assistant” to “actor” can make applications more capable, but it also creates additional failure modes.

Struggling with cloud complexity? Compare dedicated, partner, and IPsec connections to find the right private connectivity solution. Multicloud environments bring complexity, and how you connect to your CSPs can make or break performance, cost, and reliability. Here’s how dedicated, partner, and IPsec connections compare — and which might be right for your business. There are three main methods of connecting to the cloud with private connectivity.

Not long ago, cloud cost was an engineering problem. FinOps teams owned it, finance leaned in occasionally, and everyone else stayed out of it. Now, that’s changed. AI changed who has skin in the game. CFOs get asked about it in board meetings. CEOs field questions on earnings calls. The audience for cloud cost management has exploded — and that means the conversation CloudZero is built to enable isn’t only a technical one, it’s a business one.

We hear a lot of war stories from the teams we work with. Horror stories about cloud bills, surprise overages, and the infrastructure decisions that seemed perfectly reasonable at the time. This one comes from Erik Dasque, CTO at Allure Security. It involves a junior developer, a Kubernetes CronJob, and a recurring bill that, if not caught, would have happened on a yearly basis.

AI is changing both what you build and how you build it - at the same time. Today, Harness is announcing two new products to secure both: AI Security, a new product to discover, test, and protect AI running in your applications, and Secure AI Coding, a new capability of Harness SAST that secures the code your AI tools are writing.
