How to manage Ubuntu fleets using on-premises Active Directory and ADSys

The “hybrid fleet” is today’s reality: organizations diversify operating systems while Microsoft Active Directory (AD) remains the dominant identity “source of truth.” IT administrators must ensure Linux machines, like Ubuntu desktops and servers, behave as first-class citizens in this environment.

Accelerate Your OpenTelemetry Migrations With Honeycomb's Agent Skills

Since releasing our hosted MCP server last year, we've been thrilled to see customers not just adopt it but build Honeycomb deeply into their agentic development and observability workflows. Users have embraced it, leveraging Honeycomb to stay in conversation with their code and understand how it runs in production.

Monitoring a Roborock Robot Vacuum With Healthchecks.io

I semi-recently bought a used Roborock S5 Max robot vacuum, and installed Valetudo on it. The installation process involves rooting the robot, and gaining SSH access to it. Which got me thinking, could I get the robot to ping Healthchecks.io at regular intervals? When the robot runs into a problem (closes a door after itself, gets stuck, chokes on a loose wire) and cannot return to the base, it eventually shuts down.

Pull Request Velocity as a Proxy for AI Usage for Software Development

While AI have usage has been growing steadily for the last several years, the LLM models noticeably improved around the end of 2025. Specifically, they become more viable for software development. We are seeing the results. The feature and product delivery has picked up. One way to visualize this is by looking at the number of pull requests for your organization / software development teams. This chart shows the number of Github pull requests created by a team. Can you spot when AI usage increased?

Harness Ships Five Capabilities to Power Confident Releases at AI Speed | Harness Blog

The pace of AI-assisted development has outgrown how most teams actually ship. Harness is closing that gap. Engineering teams are generating more shippable code than ever before — and today, Harness is shipping five new capabilities designed to help teams release confidently. AI coding assistants lowered the barrier to writing software, and the volume of changes moving through delivery pipelines has grown accordingly. But the release process itself hasn't kept pace.

What is MRO? Maintenance, Repair, and Operations Explained

MRO stands for maintenance, repair, and operations. It refers to the activities, supplies, and services that keep equipment, facilities, and infrastructure running safely and efficiently. Every industry that relies on physical assets depends on MRO, whether that means replacing a worn bearing on a production line, restocking safety gloves in a warehouse, or servicing an HVAC system in a hospital.

KubeCon Europe 2026: AI Is Shipping Code Faster Than Orgs Can Govern It

KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2026 recently brought the cloud native community to Amsterdam. We were there all week bouncing between the booth, a Braintrust event with engineering leaders from across the community, and more hallway conversations than we can count. One talking point dominated the week: AI is shipping code faster than most engineering orgs can govern it. It also became clear that we weren't the only ones talking about this challenge.
