Building an AI-Powered Time Series Dashboard for Data Center Ops

AI demand is pushing data centers to get bigger, denser, and more distributed, while the data that runs them still often sits in different systems, slowing down operations and hampering efficiency. By leveraging a time series database like InfluxDB to create a single, unified telemetry layer, you can simplify your data stack, comfortably handle the high volume of data, and solve problems faster and more efficiently, helping to minimize waste and maximize efficiency, saving time, electricity, equipment, and money.

Why Security and Observability Must Work Together in 2026

Modern IT environments generate more data than ever. Every application request, user login, network connection, cloud workload and endpoint action produces signals that can help teams understand what is happening across the business. Yet having more data has not necessarily made organizations more secure, more reliable, or easier to operate.

Telemetry Talks ep 7 - Beyond OpenTelemetry with anomaly detection

In this episode, we continue to dive into the workshop we hosted at Cloud Native Days Romania in May, together with our guest, Fred Navruzov, correlating OpenTelemetry with anomaly detection. Furthermore we explore how the VictoriaMetrics MCP server and skills bring AI-powered observability to your workflows. Learn how to detect anomalies faster and interact with your metrics, logs and traces using natural language.

High Bandwidth Usage on Firewalls: How to Diagnose & Fix It

If your network has been feeling sluggish, connections keep dropping, or you're getting alerts that don't point to an obvious cause, high bandwidth usage is one of the most common culprits and one of the hardest to pin down without the right visibility. The tricky part is that "slow network" can mean a dozen different things depending on where the congestion is actually happening.

Beyond the 10-year mark: Extending Ubuntu Pro 16.04 LTS security coverage

A decade ago, Canonical launched Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (codenamed “Xenial Xerus”). As a Long-Term Support (LTS) release, it comes with 5 years of standard security coverage, which is doubled to a total of 10 years through Expanded Security Maintenance (ESM) for users with an Ubuntu Pro subscription. As of April 30, 2026, the 10-year ESM coverage for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, under Ubuntu Pro, has officially reached its end of support.

Android development shouldn't start with a physical device

How on-demand Android environments lay the foundation for Android engineering Software engineering has evolved dramatically over the last decade. Development environments that once depended on dedicated hardware have become resources that can be provisioned, configured, and removed on demand. Infrastructure is now expected to be reproducible, automated, and integrated into continuous development workflows. However, Android has largely remained an exception.
