Nick Durkin, Field CTO at Harness, explains why as artificial intelligence (AI) tools are relied on more to create code, it’s now only a matter of time before bottlenecks in existing DevOps workflows become exacerbated to the point where they need to be re-engineered.Durkin noted that while AI is generating more code, organizations are not necessarily moving faster. In fact, industry reports show a slight slowdown, along with an uptick in bugs. The challenge, he said, lies in making it easier for engineers to do the right thing while putting guardrails in place to prevent errors, regardless of whether the…

I want to talk about a fairly new product that you may not be aware of: Azure IoT Operations, which GA’d last November (it was first announced at Ignite in November 2023). Here is an excellent short video showing it in action (note: watching it may make you hungry).Think of Azure IoT Operations as the control center for your digital operations at the edge. It sits directly alongside your machines and sensors—on the factory floor, in warehouses, or across distributed sites—and ensures that data from these environments flows smoothly into the cloud. Built on modern, scalable infrastructure, it connects operational…
SRE.ai this week revealed plans to build a DevOps platform for deploying custom software across multiple software-as-a-service (SaaS) application platforms.Fresh off raising $7.2 million in funding, SRE.ai CEO Raj Kadiyala said as the volume of code developed using low-code/no-code and, more recently, artificial intelligence (AI) tools increases, there needs to be a more automated approach to deploying that software based on best DevOps processes that also enables software development teams to monitor and observe those applications.At the core of that effort is a platform that will leverage artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to automate the deployment of these applications that are…
Loreli Cadapan, VP of product at CloudBees, discusses how the Model Context Protocol (MCP) developed by Anthropic will provide the foundation for reinventing DevOps workflows.Cadapan explains that MCP acts as a bridge between large language models and enterprise DevOps environments, functioning as a kind of control plane. It can connect with different CI/CD tools and testing frameworks, pull in real-time data on pipelines and vulnerabilities, and even orchestrate tasks across the software delivery lifecycle. By reducing context switching and integrating with existing developer tools, MCP is designed to improve both productivity and governance.She compared MCP servers to factory floor managers—directing…
When I first read the recent article from CISA titled “Tackling the National Gap in Software Understanding,” I had the same reaction I imagine many of you did: Well, of course this is necessary. Who in their right mind doesn’t want better visibility into the software used in our most mission-critical systems?But then I thought a bit more. It’s not just necessary—it’s overdue. And not only for national security systems. This gap in software understanding exists across nearly every enterprise and agency in the public and private sector. The real challenge is not recognizing the problem. It’s addressing it early,…
AbstractThe growing complexity of modern software development and the increasing speed at which organizations need to deliver software have led to the widespread adoption of DevOps practices, particularly continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines. These pipelines enable rapid development and deployment cycles; however, they also introduce significant security risks that must be addressed continuously. The traditional methods of integrating security, including DevSecOps, are often reactive and inadequate in keeping pace with change.This white paper proposes the next evolutionary step in DevSecOps — the fully autonomous CI/CD pipeline, driven by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies. By leveraging AI/ML, organizations…
Every developer remembers their first docker run hello-world. The mix of excitement and wonder as that simple command pulls an image, creates a container, and displays a friendly message. But what if AI could make that experience even better? As a technical writer on Docker’s Docs team, I spend my days thinking about developer experience. Recently, I’ve been exploring how AI can enhance the way developers learn new tools. Instead of juggling documentation tabs and ChatGPT windows, what if we could embed AI assistance directly into the learning flow? This led me to build an interactive AI tutor powered by…
I’m in the progress of migrating some legacy stuff at a client, and in their Power BI environment there are still quite some Power BI dataflows Gen1. I had migrated an Azure Synapse Dedicated SQL Pool to an Azure SQL DB (much cheaper for their volume of data), and in the dev/test environment all dataflows were switched correctly to the new database.However, in production, the dataflows only wanted to connect to the Azure SQL DB production database through a gateway. Weird, right? An Azure SQL DB is in the cloud, no gateway should be needed. When I tried to create…
Moving to the cloud gives businesses unprecedented agility, scalability and on-demand resource provisioning. However, this can lead to uncontrolled cloud spending, which remains a major problem for organizations. Today, managing cloud costs is more crucial than ever for digital transformation. The need of the hour is a strategy that can help your organization mitigate these challenges. This article talks about how FinOps and FinOps as Code help you optimize your cloud costs. What is Cloud Cost Optimization? Why is it Important? Cloud cost optimization refers to the strategy that helps optimize cloud computing expenditures by balancing the correct type of service with the…
