In AI Initiatives and Hybrid Clouds We Trust
The 2019 State of the Union Address, delivered Feb. 5, was light on anything tech-related. But just a week later, Feb. 11, technology was the focus of an executive order that launched The American Artificial Intelligence (AI) Initiative. Why do we need a national AI initiative, and what does it have to do with DevOps? […]
Datadog Acquires App Dev Testing Platform Madumbo
Datadog announced it is extending its reach beyond IT monitoring to include application testing by acquiring Madumbo. Madumdo CEO Gabriel-James Safar said it’s become increasingly apparent that application testing needs to be more informed by the metrics gathered by IT monitoring tools. The combined Datadog/Madumbo will bring intelligence to automated testing processes using both application […]
DevOps: Don’t Let Detection Be a Bottleneck for Security
AI and automation can help ensure DevOps security doesn’t impact performance The world revolves around software and internet-based applications—and speed is crucial. Users have very little patience for delays and will quickly jump to something else if performance lags. Organizations have embraced DevOps and containers in an effort to accelerate development and deployment of software […]
Kong Applies AI to API Management
Kong today announced today two offerings that rely on artificial intelligence (AI) to automate the management of application programming interfaces (APIs). The first offering, dubbed Kong Brain, collects data from any existing platform to auto generate documentation, which can then be used to automate the configuration of the Kong Enterprise API management platform. The second […]
Virtual Instruments Extends Scope of AIOps Platform
Virtual Instruments has extended the reach of its AIOps platform to add application service assurance, predictive capacity management, workload infrastructure balancing and problem resolution and avoidance capabilities.

Life and Death in the Age of Automation
Has automation changed the way we perceive interaction with others? A few weeks back I got an email from an old friend, Jim. Typically, that’s no big deal; I get emails from old friends all the time. Except, in this case, it was different. According to a posting on Facebook, Jim passed away about a […]
OpsRamp Extends AIOps Visibility
OpsRamp has advanced its case for AIOps via a Fall update to its software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications that adds a Topology Explorer alongside an enhanced set of Service Maps. In addition, OpsRamp added a cloud database monitoring capabilities for relational databases deployed on public clouds including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform […]
WhiteHat Security Looks to AI to Advance DevSecOps
WhiteHat Security is now embedding artificial intelligence (AI) into the application security review services it provides, as part of an effort to advance adoption of DevSecOps processes. Joseph Feiman, chief strategy officer for WhiteHat Security, said the biggest resistance factor to DevSecOps has been the amount of time it takes to test applications for vulnerabilities. […]
Moogsoft Extends AI Reach into IT Operations
Moogsoft, at a Moogsoft 2018 AIOps Symposium last week, extended the reach of its IT operations analytics software out to where applications are deployed, rather than requiring data to be moved into a Big Data platform.
