In mid-April 2025, xAI significantly expanded its Grok AI capabilities with the launch of Grok Studio, a split-screen collaborative workspace that transforms how developers and creators interact with AI. Released alongside Google Drive integration, this new feature represents a significant evolution from simple chatbot interactions to a comprehensive productivity platform where users can create documents, write code, generate reports and even develop browser games.Breaking Down Barriers to AI ProductivityWhat immediately sets Grok Studio apart is its accessibility — the feature is available to both free and premium users, democratizing access to advanced AI tools. Where some competitors restrict similar capabilities…
OpenAI has launched CodexCLI, an open-source tool that directly integrates its advanced AI models into local terminal environments. This tool, announced on April 16, 2025, marks a significant step forward in AI-assisted development workflows. It represents OpenAI’s continued effort to integrate AI more deeply into the software development lifecycle, with particular implications for DevOps practitioners.Bridging AI and DevOps Through the Command LineCodexCLI bridges OpenAI’s powerful models and local development environments, enabling AI-driven code writing, editing and task automation directly from the command line. For DevOps professionals who live in terminal interfaces, this integration offers unprecedented opportunities to accelerate repetitive tasks…
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 available DevOps talent is still relatively constrained, so when one DevOps professional takes on a new role, it tends to create opportunities for others.The five job postings shared this week are selected based on the company looking to hire, the vertical industry segment and naturally, the pay…
GitLab this week made generally available a version of its generative artificial intelligence (AI) framework for software development that includes AI agents developed by Amazon Web Services (AWS).David DeSanto, chief product officer at GitLab, said GitLab Duo with Amazon Q gives organizations that are building applications on the AWS cloud the ability to create more tightly integrated DevOps workflows using both AI frameworks.Amazon Q Developer is a set of AI agents that AWS has developed using the same framework it used to create Amazon Q Business, a set of AI agents capable of automating tasks across a wide range of…
Postman this week added a Spec Hub platform to its portfolio that makes it possible to centralize the design, management and maintenance of application programming interface (API) specifications.At the same time, Postman is also now enabling Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) Encryption capabilities to secure data being accessed via APIs. That approach ensures that encryption keys are only controlled by the organization that creates them.Postman CEO Abhinav Asthana said Spec Hub will enable IT teams to manage APIs regardless of what type of specification was used to create them, including OpenAPI 3.0 and AsyncAPI 2.0, with support for GraphQL and…
Spacelift, this week, added generative artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities to its platform for automating the management of IT infrastructure provisioned using code.Company CEO Pawel Hytry said Saturnhead AI adds a set of AI capabilities that can, for example, be used to identify issues and suggest potential remediations to make it easier for DevOps teams to troubleshoot complex IT infrastructure environments.Compatible with multiple large language models (LLMs) that DevOps teams can specify, Saturnhead AI is able to analyze infrastructure logs in real time to explain in natural language what has happened and why it occurred. That capability eliminates the need to…
AI hallucinations – the occasional tendency of large language models to respond to prompts with incorrect, inaccurate or made-up answers – have been an ongoing concern as the enterprise adoption of generative AI has accelerated over the past two years.They’re also an issue for developers using AI-based tools when building code, including generating names of packages that don’t exist. IDC analysts last year wrote about package hallucinations and a threat they present by allowing bad actors who exploit them to inject malicious code into the software supply chain.“If threat actors were to create a package with the same name as the one hallucinated…
In this post, I will guide you on how to deploy a dockerized simple flask-based TODO application to Azure Container Apps using Pulumi. You will Dockerize the Python application, securely store the Docker Hub credentials (username and token) in Azure Key Vault, and automate the deployment process using Pulumi. The Pulumi script will build and push your containerized TODO application to DockerHub and deploy the app on Azure Container Apps.What is Pulumi? Pulumi is an Infrastructure as a Code (IaC) tool that allows developers to define and manage infrastructure using familiar programming languages. Developers can still use their existing Programming…
In this article, we will look at how to find a process name by its process identification number (PID). Before we dive into the actual solution, let’s briefly talk about how processes are created and identified in Linux. Every time a user or the system (Linux) launches a program, the kernel creates a process. A process holds execution details of the program in memory, such as its input and output data, variables, and more. Importantly, since Linux is a multitasking operating system, it executes several programs simultaneously, which means each process must be identified specifically. The kernel identifies each process…
