The Automation Layer Wants to Own Enterprise AI
Organizations want AI systems capable of prioritizing alerts, routing workflows, coordinating across applications, initiating remediation steps, summarizing operational data and adapting dynamically based on changing context. The system is no longer following a rigid set of instructions. It is participating in operational decision-making. That changes the operational risk profile dramatically. When deterministic automation fails, the blast radius is usually constrained. Probabilistic systems introduce a completely different level of complexity because behavior can evolve dynamically during runtime.
OpenSSF’s CRob: ‘The Runway Is Rapidly Running Out’ on EU CRA Readiness
The EU’s Cyber Resilience Act kicks into high gear this September, and companies are still clueless about how they must obey its strictures. MINNEAPOLIS — At Open Source Summit North America, Christopher “CRob” Robinson, Chief Security Architect for the Open Source Software Foundation (OpenSSF), spoke about the European Union’s (EU) Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). CRob […]
1Password Allies With OpenAI to Secure Codex AI Coding Tool
DevSecOps teams can now manage coding agents as a tenant rather than another vault where secrets might be stored, ensuring credentials are never exposed to an AI agent or LLM as plain text. The MCP server does not read or return secret values through the MCP channel, allowing Codex to create environments and invoke applications while the values themselves never leave the 1Password vault.
We Spent 15 Years Automating Infrastructure. Now We’re Automating Decisions
As DevOps shifts from deterministic infrastructure automation to AI-driven probabilistic judgment, organizations face a profound transition from automating tasks to automating operational reasoning. Discover why this requires a fundamental evolution in platform engineering, trust, and governance.
Cursor’s Composer 2.5 Brings Smarter, More Reliable AI Coding Agents
AI-assisted coding tools are getting a meaningful upgrade. Cursor has released Composer 2.5, the latest version of its proprietary coding agent model, and the improvements go well beyond a version bump. Composer 2.5 is described as a substantial improvement in intelligence and behavior over its predecessor, Composer 2. It handles sustained work on long-running tasks […]
When Millions Arrive in a Minute: Why Reactive Autoscaling Fails and the Predictive Fix
For high-heat events where demand arrives faster than readiness can be achieved, predictive scaling is a structural advantage.
GitHub Copilot Gets Its Own App — and It’s More Than a Coding Assistant
GitHub has launched a standalone Copilot desktop app in technical preview, moving beyond the IDE to introduce a dedicated cockpit for agentic development. The app enables developers to manage parallel, isolated agent sessions directly from GitHub issues, while introducing “Agent Merge”—a feature that autonomously fixes CI failures and handles code reviews to streamline the entire PR lifecycle.
CI/CD Was Built for Deterministic Software — Agents Just Broke the Model
CI/CD was built around a comforting idea: Software should do tomorrow what it did today, assuming the inputs are the same. That assumption sits underneath a lot of modern DevOps. It is why we have build pipelines, test suites, artifact repositories, deployment gates, rollback strategies, infrastructure-as-code and all the other machinery that turned software delivery […]
Microsoft Copilot Studio Brings Computer-Using Agents to the Enterprise
For years, IT and DevOps teams have wrestled with the same stubborn problem: how do you automate workflows in systems that were never built for automation? Legacy apps, vendor portals, and proprietary line-of-business platforms rarely offer APIs. That means someone, usually a human, ends up clicking through screens, entering data, and completing transactions by hand. […]
Ten Great DevOps Job Opportunities
DevOps.com is now providing a weekly DevOps jobs report through which opportunities for DevOps professionals will be highlighted as part of an effort to better serve our audience. Our goal in these challenging economic times is to make it just that much easier for DevOps professionals to advance their careers. Of course, the pool of […]
GitLab Act 2: Still an Open Book
An analysis of GitLab’s “Act 2” transition under CEO Bill Staples, examining whether the company can successfully pivot to an AI-native, agentic software delivery model while dismantling the radically transparent, remote-first culture that originally defined its brand and operational success.
Why DevOps Is Critical for Modern Business Resilience
Today’s business world operates in a state of constant change. What the customer wants to buy changes quickly, new competitors appear overnight, and cyber threats are changing faster than ever. In this world, the concept of “resilience,” the ability to adapt, to overcome, and to continue to create value for the enterprise despite the changes, […]
Widespread Mini Shai-Hulud Campaign Is a Matter of Trust
The latest series of attacks using the notorious Shai-Hulud worm puts into sharp focus the threats facing software developers and their CI/CD pipelines, an issue that has been raised in recent months as bad actors increasingly turn their attention to DevOps environments. That said, these most recent Shai-Hulud incidents attributed to the TeamPCP group also […]
xAI Enters the Coding Agent Race With Grok Build
Elon Musk’s xAI has entered the developer workspace with Grok Build, a local-first coding agent featuring an automated “Arena Mode” that runs and ranks parallel AI outputs to rival Anthropic and OpenAI
Survey Surfaces Multiple Challenges Measuring AI Coding Productivity
A Harness survey reveals that while 89% of organizations see AI boosting developer productivity, a third of the workday is consumed by untracked AI tasks like fixing bugs, code reviews, and managing cognitive load
Observability-Driven Continuous Testing in Cloud-Native DevOps
Observability transforms continuous testing from quality gates into reliability signals. Cloud-native teams ship faster because they know their systems better — traces reveal bottlenecks, synthetics catch regressions and security telemetry prevents breaches.
AI in Production Has a Governance Problem — ISO/IEC 42001 is Starting to Solve It
Moving fast without losing control is the core promise of DevOps. Extending this discipline to AI is the next logical step, supported by existing frameworks.
Migration Observability: Measure Meaning, Not Movement
Traditional operational observability focuses on latency, errors, throughput and saturation. Migration observability needs a different category: Semantic drift.
Capturing Real API Behavior for Regression Testing: Architecture and Implementation
Move beyond scripted predictions. Learn how intelligent regression testing captures real API behavior and detects failures before production
Your CI/CD Pipeline Has Non-Human Identities You Forgot About
A deployment starts failing late on a Friday evening. The initial assumption is that something changed in the application release. Teams start checking container images, Terraform plans and recent commits. Nothing looks wrong. A few hours later, someone discovers the actual issue: a deployment token tied to an old automation workflow expired months ago. The […]
Copado Brings AI Agents to DevOps Platform for Building Custom Salesforce Apps
Copado has added artificial intelligence (AI) agents to its DevOps platform for building and deploying custom applications for the software-as-a-service (SaaS) application platform from Salesforce. At launch, Copado is making available Agentia AI agents specifically that can be assigned plan, build and testing tasks via an orchestration agent that manages the overall workflow. Each Agentia […]
AWS Security Agent Brings Full Repository Code Scanning to Preview
Security teams have long relied on static analysis tools to catch vulnerabilities before code ships. Those tools are useful, but they have a fundamental limitation: they match code against known patterns. They don’t understand your application. AWS is taking a different approach with its latest addition to AWS Security Agent. The company recently released full […]
The Rise of Composable Architectures to Replace Traditional Platforms
Traditional monolithic platforms have served their purpose. As technologies like artificial intelligence and quantum computing usher in a new digital age, flexible and modular architectures will take their place. Developers and cloud professionals should familiarize themselves with composable architecture’s principles, benefits and implementation best practices to remain competitive in an evolving technological landscape. Composable Architectures […]
