This is the very first KyvernoCon! While Kyverno has been part of the CNCF since November 2020, and has had a strong presence at past KubeCon events through policy as code focused talks, maintainer sessions, and...
That study claiming "95% of AI POCs fail" has been making the rounds. It's clickbait nonsense, and frankly, it's not helping anyone. The real number? Nobody knows, because nobody's tracking it properly. But here's what I do know after years of watching teams build AI systems: the study masks a much more important problem. Teams...
Oasis Security this week warned application developers of a security flaw in the Cursor artificial intelligence (AI) code editor developed by Anysphere, Inc. that potentially could be used to allow a maliciously crafted code repository to execute code as soon as it’s opened using Cursor. Erez Schwartz, threat research engineer at Oasis Security, said that […]
Member post originally published on the Middleware blog by Keval Bhogayata, covering the top 10 Kubernetes Troubleshooting Techniques. Regardless of its popularity, there can be times where even the most seasoned DevOps engineers must troubleshoot Kubernetes....
At swampUP 2025, JFrog’s Yonatan Arbel reflects on his journey inside the company and how developer DNA continues to shape JFrog’s culture. Arbel, who has spent nearly a decade with JFrog, began as a software engineer before moving into leadership and eventually into a developer relations role. But as he emphasized, “once a developer, always […]
OpenTofu Day is the best place to connect with the OpenTofu community. It’s a fantastic place to talk shop with other infrastructure or platform engineers, trade stories, discuss best practices, and maybe even hire / be...
A survey of 101 senior engineering leaders published this week finds while 87% believe their organization is “prepared” or “very prepared” to adopt artificial intelligence (AI). It’s also clear that several hurdles remain, most notably making sure application development teams have the quality assurance skill and expertise needed to validate AI outputs (66%). Conducted by […]
AWS is announcing integrated LocalStack support in the AWS Toolkit for Visual Studio Code that makes it easier than ever for developers to test and debug serverless applications locally. This enhancement builds upon our recent improvements to the Lambda development experience, including the console to IDE integration and remote debugging capabilities we launched in July 2025, continuing our commitment to simplify...
Warp has added a version of its artificial intelligence (AI) agent for writing code that integrates directly within a command line interface (CLI). Company CEO Zach Lloyd said rather than working with AI agents within the context of an integrated development environment, Warp Code embeds AI agents with a CLI that is likely to prove […]
The real power of agents comes from their ability to connect to each other, to enterprise data, and to the systems where work gets done. The post Agent Factory: Connecting agents, apps, and data with new open standards like MCP and A2A appeared first on Microsoft Azure Blog.
How developers are embedding runtime security to safely build with AI agents Introduction: When AI Workflows Become Attack Surfaces The AI tools we use today are powerful, but also unpredictable and exploitable. You prompt an LLM and it generates a Dockerfile. It looks correct. A shell script? Reasonable. You run it in dev. Then something...
Hush Security today emerged from stealth to provide an alternative approach to protecting application secrets using a platform that is designed to continuously discover them and then apply access controls based on policies defined by an IT team. Fresh off raising $11 million in funding, company CEO Micha Rave said the Hush Security platform eliminates […]
Cisco today at its Splunk .Conf25 conference previewed a series of artificial intelligence (AI) agents for the Splunk Observability platform that are capable of automating the collection of telemetry data using open source OpenTelemetry software, detecting issues, identifying root causes, and applying fixes. At the same time, Cisco also launched Cisco Data Fabric, a platform […]
JFrog at its annual swampUP conference unfurled a DevOps platform, dubbed JFrog Fly, designed to enable application developers to more easily integrate artificial intelligence (AI) agents within workflows at scale. Via the Model Context Protocol (MCP) developed by Anthropic, JFrog Fly is designed to integrate with multiple AI repos and platforms such as Cursor, GitHub […]

Every year, JFrog’s swampUP conference gives us a look at what’s next in DevOps, software delivery, and increasingly, AI. This year’s event in Napa did not disappoint. If you’ve followed JFrog over the years, you know they have never been shy about leading the conversation on how software is built, secured, and shipped. At swampUP […]
November 10, 2025Atlanta, Georgia Istio Day is the biannual community event for the industry’s most widely adopted and feature rich service mesh, where attendees will find lessons learned from running Istio in production, the latest updates...
Perforce has added AI to its Delphix platform, enabling DevOps teams to use small language models (SLMs) for secure synthetic data testing—even in air-gapped, regulated environments. The update automates data masking, supports compliance, and advances AI-driven DevOps workflows.
Summer has drawn to a close here in Utrecht, where I live in the Netherlands. In two weeks, I’ll be attending AWS Community Day 2025, hosted at the Kinepolis Jaarbeurs Utrecht on September 24. The single-day event will bring together over 500 cloud practitioners from across the Netherlands, featuring 25 breakout sessions across five technical […]
As AI continues to evolve, businesses are rapidly integrating it into their operations. But with this growth comes an urgent need to prioritise cybersecurity because ignoring security risks in an AI-driven landscape can leave businesses vulnerable...
As more teams start weaving generative AI (GenAI) into their apps and workflows, Kubernetes naturally comes up as the go-to platform. It’s a tried-and-tested solution for managing containerized workloads, but AI workloads are a different beast....
Docker, Inc., a provider of cloud-native and AI-native development tools, infrastructure, and services, today announced the acquisition of MCP Defender, a company founded to secure AI applications. The rapid evolution of AI-from simple generative models to powerful agentic tools-has transformed software development in extraordinary ways. But as with all powerful technologies, new capabilities bring new...
Atlassian’s $610M acquisition of The Browser Company signals the rise of AI-first browsers and a new battleground for DevOps and enterprise workflows.
A report published this week by Sonar finds the GPT-5 platform released by OpenAI has the potential to generate better code but at significantly higher costs. Based on over 4,400 Java tasks, the report finds that depending on which of the four levels of reasoning capabilities that OpenAI now makes available, the overall quality of […]
Last month, I watched three senior engineers burn four hours debugging a “mysterious” Kubernetes issue that turned out to be a kubectl version upgrade. The same week, another team spent an entire night hunting phantom load...
Running large AI models in the cloud gives access to immense capabilities, but it doesn’t come for free. The bigger the models, the bigger the bills, and with them, the risk of unexpected costs. Local models flip the equation. They safeguard privacy and keep costs predictable, but their smaller size often limits what you can...

MCP is not an API. Tools are not agents. MCP is more than tools. Here’s what this means in practice. Most developers misread the Model Context Protocol because they map it onto familiar API mental models. That mistake breaks agent designs, observability, and the “last mile” where non-deterministic reasoning must meet deterministic execution. This piece...
It's no longer whether you can build an agent—it’s how fast and seamlessly you can go from idea to enterprise-ready deployment. The post Agent Factory: From prototype to production—developer tools and rapid agent development appeared first on Microsoft Azure Blog.
When discussing Kubernetes network security, much of the attention focuses on pod-to-pod traffic, ingress controllers, and service meshes. But what about the underlying nodes themselves, the very foundation on which our workloads run? The attack surface...
Technology leaders are wrestling with the same contradiction: they know AI will transform their business, but they’re paralyzed by the scope of that transformation. The result? Organizations either chase moonshot AI projects that never deliver, or they delay action until competitors force their hand.
