In the fintech industry we can link latency directly to profit and money. If I have lower latency than the competition, I can get to the better deals, I can make the better deals.

S3 Files is built on Amazon EFS and automatically translates file system operations into S3 requests, allowing applications to work with S3 data without code changes.

When ChatGPT launched in late 2022, I watched something remarkable happen. Within two months, it hit 100 million users, a growth rate that sent shockwaves through Silicon Valley. Today, it has over 800 million weekly active users. That launch sparked an explosion in AI development that has fundamentally changed how we build and operate the infrastructure powering our digital world.

CloudBolt's survey also examined how respondents are migrating workloads off of VMware. Currently, 36 percent of participants said they migrated 1-24 percent of their environment off of VMware. Another 32 percent said that they have migrated 25-49 percent; 10 percent said that they've migrated 50-74 percent of workloads; and 2 percent have migrated 75 percent or more of workloads. Five percent of respondents said that they have not migrated from VMware at all.

A North American manufacturer spent most of 2024 and early 2025 doing what many innovative enterprises did: aggressively standardizing on the public cloud by using data lakes, analytics, CI/CD, and even a good chunk of ERP integration. The board liked the narrative because it sounded like simplification, and simplification sounded like savings. Then generative AI arrived, not as a lab toy but as a mandate. "Put copilots everywhere," leadership said. "Start with maintenance, then procurement, then the call center, then engineering change orders."

Ring the bells, sound the trumpet, the Linux 6.19 kernel has arrived. Linus Torvalds announced that "6.19 is out as expected -- just as the US prepares to come to a complete standstill later today, watching the latest batch of televised commercials." Because while the big news in Linux circles might be a new Linux release, Torvalds recognizes that for many people, the "big news [was] some random sporting event." American football, what can you do?

An observability control plane isn't just a dashboard. It's the operational authority system. It defines alert rules, routing, ownership, escalation policy, and notification endpoints. When that layer is wrong, the impact is immediate. The wrong team gets paged. The right team never hears about the incident. Your service level indicators look clean while production burns.

The Harness Resilience Testing platform extends the scope of the tests provided to include application load and disaster recovery (DR) testing tools that will enable DevOps teams to further streamline workflows.

The main advantage of going the Multi-Cloud way is that organizations can "put their eggs in different baskets" and be more versatile in their approach to how they do things. For example, they can mix it up and opt for a cloud-based Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solution when it comes to the database, while going the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) route for their application endeavors.
