IaC Isn’t Dying. AI Makes it More Important
AI-generated infrastructure code is arriving faster than most organizations can absorb it. The organizations that invested in platform quality first are the ones pulling ahead. Every few years, someone declares that Infrastructure as Code is dead. The arguments tend to “sidecar” the hype cycle. First, complexity, then containers, then Kubernetes, then serverless. Now it’s AI’s […]

AI Is Here to Stay. The Real Challenge Is Operating It Securely
AI-generated code is already in production. Whether we are comfortable with that or not is beside the point. In the OpenStack project, which I have helped steward for more than 15 years, we are seeing developers submit patches built with AI assistance, and sometimes patches composed almost entirely by AI tools. Some of those contributions […]
Stack Overflow Is Being Reborn as a Back-End Service for AI Agents
Will that stop its decline? We’ll soon find out. Once upon a time, Stack Overflow was, love it or hate it, the site programmers went to find answers for their most annoying development questions. Back then, according to Prashanth Chandrasekar, Stack Overflow’s CEO, the site had “100 million monthly visitors.” Then AI came along. From […]
Using Bicep Modules to Build Enterprise-Grade Azure Infrastructure
Azure Bicep has become the preferred IaC language for Azure because it’s declarative, simple, modular and deeply integrated with the Azure platform.
CDEvents Simplifies AI-Ready Developer Platforms
Internal developer platforms have become a tangled web of orchestration tools, CI runners and deployment systems that rarely speak the same language.
