CertKit now has 86 built-in deployment templates

Oct 21, 2026 By Todd H. Gardner In CertKit
There are lots of ways to get a certificate. Getting it onto your Cisco ISE, IBM i, or WatchGuard VPN is the hard part. We keep making that easier. Since July, CertKit has added 51 new deployment templates, more than doubling the library to 86. Each platform has a built-in deployment template, and most have a deployment guide for the setup details. Setup is just picking a certificate and setting a few variables.

Monitoring the Monitor: When One of Our Uptime Vendors Went Quiet for 27 Hours

Oct 21, 2026 By Matt Rideout In DNS Check
DNS Check watches its own infrastructure with several layers of monitoring, including DNS Check itself and third-party uptime monitoring services. One of those vendors polls a private health endpoint on our servers every five minutes, from probes around the world. That endpoint runs a set of internal checks (disk space, mail delivery, background job queues, DNS resolvers, and more) and returns an error if any of them fail. If it errors or stops responding, the vendor alerts us.

Oct 21, 2026 By Noah Grinstein In Control Plane
Last updated: October 21, 2026. This tracker lists every major AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Cloudflare outage since January 2020, with each provider’s own stated duration, root cause, and source. It covers 62 major incidents. The median outage lasted 6h 12m, and the most common cause was a configuration or deployment change (20 of 62, 32%), not hardware failure. We add new incidents as providers publish their post-incident reports. Control Plane publishes this tracker.

How to Let AI Agents Operate Production Infrastructure Safely

Oct 21, 2026 By Noah Grinstein In Control Plane
Yes, it can be safe to let an AI agent change production infrastructure, if the agent works through the same controls you would demand of a new engineer: scoped permissions, short-lived credentials, a tamper-proof audit trail, changes that roll out gradually behind health checks, and a fast rollback. The infrastructure also has to be built so that one bad change cannot take everything down.

Scout Monitoring Is Now in Claude's Connector Directory

Oct 21, 2026 By Aspen Clevenger In Scout
A customer messages support: checkout feels slow today. You open Scout, find the endpoint, open a trace, spot the query, copy it into Claude, and ask what’s wrong with it. Each step is quick, but together they add up to a lot of tab switching to answer one question. Scout Monitoring is now available in Claude’s connector directory. Connect it once and Claude can look at your production data directly.
