When evaluating hardened image providers, don’t just look for buzzwords like “zero-CVE” or “minimal.” True security in a dynamic environment demands a nuanced understanding of their process, their commitment, and their flexibility. For platform, DevOps, and SecOps teams, these are the critical questions that reveal whether a provider offers genuine security that enhances your workflow, or one that will ultimately create more problems than it solves. 1. Update and Patch Management: The Reality of “Continuously Secure” How quickly can you update the images in response to newly disclosed critical and high-severity CVEs? What are your Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for…
Large language models can draft code or move artifacts, but without situational awareness they still trip over the basics. Cloudsmith CEO Glenn Weinstein tells Mike Vizard why a new piece of plumbing—the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server—is quickly becoming table stakes. Think of MCP as a receptionist for AI agents: it answers questions like “Which Docker images are in my repo?” and supplies environment-specific details the model would otherwise guess—or miss entirely.Context alone isn’t enough. Developers increasingly chain agents together to run multi-step jobs—pull a package, scan it, publish it—without a human in the loop. That hand-off requires agent-to-agent (A2A)…
(2025-Aug-04) Taking my last week of vacation and then volunteering at a children’s summer camp has been part of my plan since last year, when I did the same thing. Back then, I wrote a short blog post (https://datanrg.blogspot.com/2024/09/what-i-learned-volunteering-at.html) without any intention of writing one again this year. However, while helping out in the kitchen, I had a new experience that I thought was worth writing down to remember.Usually, when you sign up to volunteer as kitchen help at a summer camp, you have some idea of who else will be working with you. But in my case, I wasn’t really…
In the rapidly evolving landscape of software development, integrating modern AI tools is essential to boosting productivity and enhancing the developer experience. One such advancement is the integration of Docker’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) Toolkit with Visual Studio Code’s GitHub Copilot Agent Mode. This powerful combination transforms how developers interact with containerized applications, enabling autonomous coding workflows that seamlessly manage Docker environments with enhanced security, improved discoverability, and increased automation.As a Docker Captain, I’ve worked extensively with containerized development workflows. In this article, we’ll guide you through setting up and using the Docker MCP Toolkit with Copilot Agent Mode in…
Christine Yen—developer-turned-CEO—explains why Honeycomb built an MCP server and why every observability vendor may follow. MCP, short for Model Context Protocol, acts like a concierge for AI agents: It makes a product’s API, telemetry schema and helper tools easily discoverable so large-language models can ask precise questions instead of guessing. Yen sees it as table stakes for letting bots troubleshoot production just as humans do.Speed is the first requirement. Engineers won’t wait minutes for an LLM to fetch a log slice or distribution graph. Honeycomb’s mantra—fast is a feature—now pays off when an agent fires off dozens of sub-queries during…
