Hardware Health and Infrastructure Resilience with Microsoft SCOM.

A power event in Google’s europe-west2-b (London) zone triggered a wide Google Cloud outage on October 20, 2026, taking down dozens of services including Cloud SQL, BigQuery, Compute Engine, and Kubernetes for customers across the UK and beyond. StatusGator sent an Early Warning Signal at 07:02 UTC, 1 hour and 35 minutes before Google Cloud publicly acknowledged the incident at 08:37 UTC. The ripple effect was wide: StatusGator tracked 171 other services showing signs of impact during the outage.

On October 14 and 15, Symfony shipped a coordinated set of maintenance releases across every supported branch: 5.4.54, 6.4.48, 7.4.21, and 8.1.9. Between them they close three CVEs, all rated high severity, and all with the same uncomfortable shape: a single HTTP request, no authentication, no special configuration, and the PHP process either burns a CPU core or falls over.

Your AI coding agents write functions, refactor modules, and generate tests in seconds. Running five of them across three repositories at the same time? That’s a coordination problem, not a code generation problem. Agentic development environments give you one surface to orchestrate multiple agents, review every diff, and get code merged without losing context.

BYOK on EKS, GKE and Kapsule now runs through the Qovery Operator: install it once with Helm on a cluster you already run, and deploy Qovery's component updates from the Console. Now in Preview, for clusters without cert-manager, ExternalDNS or Envoy Gateway. Pierre is a staff engineer on the Qovery platform team. He works on the Qovery Operator and the platform catalog that install and update Qovery on Kubernetes clusters.

AI cost per customer is each customer's attributed share of your AI spend: API tokens, inference infrastructure, and per-seat AI tools, measured against that customer's revenue. It matters because AI usage is wildly uneven across customers, so healthy blended margins can hide individual customers you serve at a loss. It's cost to serve, not acquisition cost. Cost per customer is the metric CloudZero was built around.

Insights are how your team tracks interesting observations, analysis and optimization work in CloudZero. Each one records the opportunity and its status, so the work gets sized, assigned, and closed out. Teams now do a lot of this work in an AI assistant. For example, you can ask Claude which instances sat idle last month, and it will tell you. But if you have to switch to CloudZero and fill out a form to log that finding, some findings won’t get logged.
