OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation (Grafana OTel Community Call #9)

In this episode of the Grafana OTel Community Call, we're exploring OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation (OBI). OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation (OBI) offers a powerful way to instrument applications at the system kernel level, capturing essential “RED metrics” — request rate, error rate, and duration — and network flows without requiring code changes, rebuilds, or redeployments. We will cover the project's architecture, discuss its origins as Grafana Beyla, and look ahead to the roadmap for language and runtime coverage.

Can a T-Shirt Fool AI? Why AI Guardrails Matter for IT | Zero Ticket Minute

Can AI be influenced by something as simple as a T-shirt? New research suggests irrelevant context can affect how some AI models respond. In this Zero Ticket Minute, Ian explains why AI guardrails matter and what IT leaders should consider as they adopt agentic AI and autonomous operations.

Switching Between AI Agents Like This Is a Game Changer #ai #productivity

AI didn't just change how fast code gets written. It exposed a new bottleneck: everything around the code. Reviews slow down. Context gets lost. Planning drifts from implementation. Teams move fast and still feel stuck. That's the problem GitKraken is built to solve, and this Friday we're going live to walk through what's changed. We'll cover the latest Code Flow Company features we've shipped, how they connect developers, AI agents, and production into one system, and what it actually looks like to go from plan to main without the chaos.

Agentic Pipelines | Bitbucket Blitz | Atlassian

Most CI/CD pipelines are fragile bash scripts that break when things change. What if your pipeline could think? Agentic Pipelines lets you add AI agents as steps in Bitbucket Pipelines. In this video, I show an agent that reads a design spec from Confluence, generates frontend code, runs tests, and opens a PR, all inside a pipeline. With Agentic Pipelines, Bitbucket goes from a CI/CD platform to a full workflow and automation engine you can use far beyond builds and deploys.

The secure path should be the default path - nothing more

Asking developers to take extra steps to pull securely is a policy that won't hold. The only approach that scales is making the private registry the default – a buffer between the developer and public registries that applies policy automatically at the global level. No extra steps, no security theater, no cognitive overhead at the point of pull. Automation and global policy configuration are what turn good intentions into a default secure posture.
