New: More control with Recovery Notices

Apr 21, 2026 By Valeria Kurolapova In StatusGator
We’ve added a new notification option to give you more control over how and when you get alerted: Recovery Notices. Until now, notifications were primarily focused on incidents – letting you know when something goes wrong. But we heard from many of you that not all alerts are equally useful. While some teams want full visibility across the entire lifecycle of an incident, others are mainly concerned with when a service goes down, not when it comes back up.

Moving Beyond SolarWinds: Building a Modern Observability Strategy

Apr 21, 2026 By Andy Wojnarek In Galileo
For years, platforms like SolarWinds have been a standard in IT environments. They helped teams answer a fundamental question: are systems up or down? That approach worked well when environments were more contained and predictable. The challenge is that most environments no longer operate that way. Hybrid infrastructure, cloud services, and tightly interconnected applications have changed what “visibility” needs to mean.

The Regional Data Centre Revolution Powered by AI Demand

The Regional Data Centre Revolution Powered by AI Demand

Apr 21, 2026 By Pulsant In Pulsant
London still hosts the biggest concentration of UK data centre capacity, but the centre of gravity is starting to move. AI workloads are changing the infrastructure maths, pushing power, space and planning considerations up the decision list. That is exactly where regional locations start to look like the sensible option. Government data shows how concentrated the market remains: as of autumn 2024, London is estimated at 1,048MW of colocation IT load. Compare that with 44MW in the East of England, 17MW in the North East and 30MW in Scotland. The gap is huge, yet it is not a permanent advantage.

What is Application Performance Monitoring (APM)?

Apr 21, 2026 By Jack Rothrock In Scout
A modern web application is not a single thing. A single user request may touch a web server, a database, a cache layer, and several third-party APIs before a response comes back. And as AI tools generate more and more application traffic (API calls, background jobs, automated workflows), the volume and unpredictability of that traffic is growing. When something goes wrong, it could be any of it. When something is slow, it could be all of it at once.

KubeVirt Networking: How to Preserve VM IP Addresses During Migration

Apr 21, 2026 By Dillon Barry In Tigera
Organisations are re-evaluating their VM infrastructure. The economics have shifted, the tooling has matured, and the case for running two separate platforms, one for containers, one for VMs, is getting harder to justify. Platform teams that spent years managing hypervisor infrastructure are being asked to consolidate, and most are landing on the same answer: Kubernetes. KubeVirt makes running VMs on Kubernetes possible.
