Modern software companies no longer run on a single cloud; they're spread across dozens of specialized providers, from AI platforms to data warehouses to edge networks. This fragmentation creates a problem: today's developers grew up building apps in the cloud, but most lack the network engineering skills needed to securely connect all these different services together. The capabilities that tech giants spent years building - private network connections, global infrastructure, and sophisticated traffic routing - remain out of reach for smaller teams.

Amazon Web Services' big annual event, re:Invent 2025, is getting into full swing in Las Vegas this week. Last year's event was largely focused on their AI efforts, including new foundation models, services tackling AI hallucinations, and new security measures. And this year is likely to follow suit, based on what Amazon has announced so far and the lineup of speakers and programming that you can explore in more detail below.

But over the summer, Bedrock hit "critical capacity constraints" that drove some customers to rival services, such as Google's cloud service, according to an internal July document obtained by Business Insider. The shortages led to tens of millions of dollars in lost or delayed revenue. Epic Games shifted a $10 million Fortnite project to Google Cloud after AWS failed to provide enough quota for Bedrock, according to the document. (Quota limits control how much intelligence customers can access via AI cloud services).

The platform tackles problems familiar to many platform engineering teams: sprawling cloud estates, drift between code and live environments, and fragile toolchains.

It is the first platform that starts from reality, not from an idealised plan. It accepts even the messiest truth of any cloud environment and provides a safe, reliable way to evolve it.

Last week, the privacy-focused messaging service Signal was temporarily shut down when Amazon Web Services (AWS) suffered a major outage. This led to criticism of Signal's use of such a dominant provider as AWS.

The UAE is undergoing a shift in its digital infrastructure landscape, with a wave of data centre and cloud investments reshaping the nation into a regional hub for artificial intelligence (AI) and digital transformation. This momentum is not only redefining the UAE's technological capabilities but also reinforcing its strategic vision of becoming a global nexus for digital innovation and data sovereignty.

Since the bulk of the company's revenue comes from advertising fees tied to search, any erosion in Google's market share seemingly poses an existential threat to Alphabet's financial engine. On the surface, this bearish narrative is compelling. But the reality is far more nuanced. Alphabet's financial resilience, strategic partnerships, and product evolution suggests that the company is not only prepared to defend its turf but may also emerge stronger in the face of rising competition.

"We're addressing the number one complaint of Kubernetes, which is complexity," said Miska Kaipiainen, head of product for Lens at Mirantis. "Lens Prism puts the power of a site reliability engineer (SRE) inside every developer's IDE. It removes friction from day-to-day Kubernetes operations while maintaining enterprise-grade security and control."

In our journey with ElasticScale, it's become increasingly clear how much SaaS leaders and their dev teams relate to the problems we address: Infrastructure that's too complex, too costly, and too distracting.

Failing to recognize the need for CAM leads to additional problems. The financial aspect is the most paramount and urgent. Untracked and unmanaged resources such as idle virtual machines or overallocated storage accumulate costs that are often unnoticed until they appear on a bloated monthly statement.
