When Local Blocks Go Global: The India-Telegram BGP Incident

Yesterday’s leak of a BGP hijack intended to block Telegram in India is the latest routing mishap best described as intentional, but also accidental — a pattern dating back to Pakistan Telecom’s infamous hijack of YouTube in 2008, in which a domestic block escaped containment and disrupted the service worldwide.

Scout MCP Server: Example Prompts, Use Cases, and What's New

The Scout MCP server connects your AI assistant directly to your Scout Monitoring data. Instead of switching between your editor, Scout, and a chat window, your assistant can pull traces, errors, N+1 insights, and endpoint metrics on its own and use that context to suggest or make fixes right in your codebase. This covers how to connect it, what to ask it, how other teams are using it, and what we shipped recently.

Why AI observability is a critical ITOps priority

AI Observability is a Critical Priority for ITOps Teams See how LogicMonitor helps ITOps teams monitor AI workloads, reduce blind spots, and move toward Autonomous IT. Schedule a meeting AI has shifted from experimental pilots to everyday business operations. Customers are interacting with AI-powered applications. Engineering teams are building with LLMs, GPUs, APIs, and automation at a much faster pace. That adds to the visibility strain on already overburdened ITOps teams.

How one PM scaled customer discovery with AI

Customer interviews are one of the most powerful ways to build better products — but they’re also time-consuming. In this video, Avinoam “Avi” Zelenko, Principal Product Manager at Atlassian, shares how he transformed the way he runs customer interviews using AI automation and Rovo agents. What used to take hours of coordination, note-taking, and manual summaries now happens automatically. By stitching together the Teamwork Collection and Slack, Avi built a workflow that captures conversations, summarizes insights, and shares them across teams in real time.

Why Day 2 Operations Are Harder Than Deployment (And What To Do About It)

Getting your application deployed feels like finishing a race. You push the code, the containers spin up, the health checks go green, and for a brief moment everything feels solved. Then Day 2 arrives. Day 2 is not a specific date. It is the entire operational life of your application after that first successful deployment. It is the stretch of time that can last years, and it is where most teams quietly discover that deployment was the easy part.

Why Multi-Agent AI Workflows Need a Control Plane

AI is transforming how infrastructure and platform teams design, deploy, and operate systems. As organizations move from experimentation to production, a clear pattern is emerging. AI can decide what should change, but it cannot safely control how those changes are executed. This creates a gap in modern architectures. That gap is filled by a control plane. That control plane already exists in Puppet Enterprise Advanced.

How to Fix Azure Integration Errors in Minutes Instead of Days

Azure integration errors can be difficult to diagnose when messages flow across multiple services such as Logic Apps, Service Bus, Azure Functions, APIs, and external systems. Support teams often spend hours searching through logs and correlating events across services just to identify where a transaction failed.

AI Agents Are the New Employees: The Identity & Security Crisis Enterprise IT Must Solve
