GitOps in 2026: Why Pull Requests Are Taking Over Cloud Operations
For years, cloud infrastructure changes were mostly a mystery. An engineer would log into a dashboard, tweak a setting, run a few scripts, and that was it. Nobody worried until something broke ...

Configuration Drift in a Multi-Cloud World
Mariusz Michalowski | | cloud infrastructure, configuration drift, infrastructure as code, multicloud, opentofu, TerraformConfiguration drift is the gap between the infrastructure state declared in code and the state actually running in your environment. It occurs when resources are changed outside of your infrastructure as code ...
Modernization Is Not Migration
Modernization worked only if the platform became easier to change, easier to understand and safer to run under pressure. That is not a philosophical position — it is a measurable one ...
