Why Artifact Repository Sprawl Slows Down Software Delivery | Harness Blog

May 20, 2026 By Shibam Dhar In Harness
Three weeks into a platform modernization project, this question landed in my inbox: "Why does our deployment pipeline take 40 minutes instead of four?" This is artifact repository sprawl in practice, and it does more than slow pipelines. It fragments your security posture, your compliance evidence, and your ability to answer basic questions like "what's actually running in production right now?".

Reduce CI Costs Without Slowing Down Development | Harness Blog

May 20, 2026 By Chinmay Gaikwad In Harness
Continuous integration (CI) costs can escalate quickly as engineering teams scale. While most organizations focus on cloud bills, the true cost of CI includes slow build times, developer wait time, inefficient test execution, and overprovisioned infrastructure. CI cost optimization is the practice of reducing the total cost of CI pipelines by improving build efficiency, minimizing compute usage, and eliminating unnecessary work without slowing down development.

Teach Your AI Coding Agent to Instrument, Monitor, and Troubleshoot Infrastructure with netdata/skills

May 20, 2026 By Shyam Sreevalsan In netdata
There’s a growing ecosystem of AI coding agents: Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Codex, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, and others. They’re good at writing code, but they don’t inherently know how to instrument that code for observability, configure monitoring infrastructure, or troubleshoot production systems using real telemetry data. That knowledge lives in documentation, runbooks, and the heads of your senior SREs.

Certificate Audit logs are live

May 20, 2026 By Todd H. Gardner In CertKit
Certificate automation does a lot of work on your behalf. Agents running on your servers, talking to certificate authorities, deploying certs to your infrastructure. At some point someone (your CISO, your auditor, or your own brain at 3am) is going to ask: what exactly happened, and when? Today we’re shipping audit logs. Every action taken in CertKit is now recorded: logins, invitations, certificates added, issued, renewed, revoked, and deployed. Agent registrations, approvals, and config changes.

The Productivity Tax of Repeat IT Failures in Technology Companies

May 20, 2026 By Chanté Frazer In Nexthink
Technology companies are being pushed to deliver faster outcomes while justifying growing investment in AI, SaaS, and digital infrastructure. But productivity does not improve just because new tools are deployed. It improves when employees can use those tools without the constant drag of slow devices, unstable applications, and fixes that do not fully solve the problem. That is the productivity tax of digital friction.

How to Create Your Own Plugins and Check Commands in Icinga 2

May 20, 2026 By Sukhwinder Dhillon In Icinga
If you’ve been using Icinga 2 for a while, you probably know the built-in checks cover a lot of ground: disk space, CPU, memory, ping. But sooner or later you’ll run into something specific to your setup that no existing plugin handles. That’s where writing your own plugin comes in. The good news? It’s simpler than it sounds. Icinga 2 doesn’t care what language your plugin is written in. It just runs the script, reads the exit code, and displays the output. That’s it.
