The Future of DevOps Still Has a Pulse
Over the last few years, we have watched our industry get swept up in the promise of AI agents. The pitch is compelling: tell a system “Deploy this workflow and roll back if things don’t go as expected,” and watch it handle everything else. No more YAML troubleshooting and pipeline debugging. We’ve all been there, […]
DevOps for GenAI Toronto Edition Hackathon: Unlocking New AI Market Opportunities

The Future of Observability: Predictive Root Cause Analysis Using AI
In the past few years, systems have become more complex than ever. Microservices, Kubernetes, cloud environments and distributed application programming interfaces (APIs) have changed how we build and manage software. However, this complexity has also made it harder to find the root cause when things go wrong. That’s where observability and artificial intelligence (AI) come together to change the game — helping us move from reactive monitoring to predictive root cause analysis (RCA). […]
The Most Destructive Cloud Cost Pitfall: Discounts Before Optimization
Organizations under pressure to cut cloud costs often reach for discount programs first as the simplest lever. It feels like a win to commit to reserved capacity or enterprise agreements because it lowers the rate paid per unit of compute or storage. However, this approach conceals a dangerous trap. When discounts are secured before workloads […]

Data Gravity Will Remain an Issue
Don MacVittie explains we’re in the ‘dream world’ of data – where the cloud-native stack realizes the dream of portable programming.
Improvement Cycles and AI
Don MacVittie makes one early prediction for 2024: AI will be the next big DevOps tool to break bottlenecks.
How to Alleviate Your Observability Challenges
Observability is becoming a keystone of contemporary DevOps practices. Even departments that weren’t traditionally a part of DevOps are seeing the benefits of being brought under the auspices of observability teams. In 2023, however, organizations are finding that the road to adoption is bumpier than expected. Here are seven of the biggest challenges DevOps teams […]

DevSecOps Provides a Modern Security Model for Modernization
Developers and security experts are now tasked with bolstering, extending and adjusting cloud and Kubernetes security to protect against cyberattacks that are ever more complex, volatile, and frequent. To foil attacks and create a secure foundation for applications and infrastructure from the beginning, DevSecOps (development, security and operations) has become the trending development and operations […]
DevOps Use Cases for AI-Assisted Kubernetes
As indicated in my prior blogs Optimizing Cloud Costs for DevOps With AI-Assisted Kubernetes and Optimizing Cloud Costs for DevOps With AI-Assisted Orchestration, an AI-assisted Kubernetes orchestrator is needed to optimize cloud costs for DevOps, DevSecOps and SRE. This blog describes DevOps-specific use cases for an AI-assisted Kubernetes orchestrator. The blog also describes a roadmap […]
Where Does Observability Stand Today, and Where is it Going Next?
As we move into the second half of 2023, it’s only natural to engage in the annual ‘state of the industry’ reviews and take a general inventory of the past year while looking out into the immediate future. Observability has gained traction among DevOps and platform engineering teams over the past year and is poised […]
Optimizing Cloud Costs for DevOps With AI-Assisted Orchestration
Kubernetes continues to grow as the leading container orchestrator for high-performance, cloud-native DevOps, DevSecOps and site reliability engineering (SRE) use cases. While Kubernetes offers excellent orchestration capabilities, it does not, by itself, assure cloud computing costs are optimized. The current state of cloud expenditures for many organizations indicates a lot of waste. So much so […]
Are We Delivering?
I had an interesting conversation today where I was told, “We do great with CI but terrible at the CD part.” My immediate reaction was to point at all the great CD activity going on in vendor space right now. But as I stopped to ponder, I realized that we’re doing all of that great […]
