Container security is moving from vulnerability detection to attack surface reduction

Container security has spent years operating around a familiar cycle: scan, identify vulnerabilities, patch and repeat. But as the volume of vulnerabilities grows and regulatory requirements move deeper into software delivery workflows, that model is becoming increasingly difficult for engineering teams to sustain. TheCUBE Research’s 2026 research found that 58% of respondents use vulnerability scanning ...

AI-native software development requires a new engineering model

Artificial intelligence has quickly become a standard part of modern software development. Coding assistants, code completion tools and AI-powered integrated development environments are now widely available, yet many engineering organizations continue to struggle with the same fundamental challenge: developer productivity. Approximately 65% of organizations report that engineering teams spend just 0–20% of their time on ...

Yugabyte targets the missing memory and knowledge layer for enterprise AI agents

Enterprise investment in agentic artificial intelligence is accelerating, but the infrastructure supporting those systems is still catching up. Organizations are moving agents into customer support, software development, sales operations and other production workflows. Yet many of those agents remain stateless, unable to retain durable context, share knowledge with other agents or explain how previous decisions ...

Unified gateways, hybrid cloud strategy and the end of Ingress NGINX: What Traefik’s CEO says comes next

The Kubernetes ecosystem is shifting faster than ever. Hybrid and multi-cloud patterns are accelerating, new forms of AI-driven workloads are emerging and enterprises are rethinking how traffic flows between microservices, models and agent-based systems. In the latest episode of theCUBE Research’s AppDevANGLE podcast, Traefik Labs Inc.’s Chief Executive Officer, Sudeep Goswami, joins theCUBE and SiliconANGLE ...

Observability’s new role in multicloud security and developer workflows

As enterprises contend with the accelerating complexity of multicloud environments, unified observability is emerging as a cornerstone for modern operations and security. Today’s cloud-native organizations face heightened demands for operational visibility and threat response across distributed systems. From FinOps to SecOps, aligning data, people and processes is critical, but remains a persistent challenge. Observability platforms ...

Why AI gateways are emerging as cloud-native’s next battleground

There’s a new front opening in the race to build intelligent applications: the intersection of artificial intelligence, application programming interfaces and infrastructure. At KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2025 in London, the surge of interest in AI wasn’t just about model training or graphics processing unit availability. It was about what happens after you’ve integrated AI, after ...

StormForge joins CloudBolt: Turning FinOps insights into action

As FinOps matures, CloudBolt Software Inc.’s acquisition of StormForge Inc.’s highlights a shift from cloud cost awareness to intelligent, automated cloud cost optimization tools. The opportunity behind the acquisition reflects a growing trend in the enterprise market: Optimization as a service, not just a dashboard. Only 13% of organizations have a mature FinOps program, according ...

AI in application development: Maturity matters more than speed

The acceleration of AI in application development has reached a new peak — but many organizations are learning the hard way that tooling alone won’t solve deep-rooted inefficiencies. While AI agents and generative platforms promise to help developers move faster, the conversation is increasingly shifting from experimentation to operational maturity. The reality is clear: AI ...

Why proactive FinOps is critical for modern cloud governance

As organizations scale cloud operations, they’re discovering that managing spend isn’t just about cost control — it’s about maximizing value, driving efficiency and aligning cloud usage with business goals. That’s where FinOps comes in. The practice is gaining traction as companies seek stronger governance in complex multicloud environments. The convergence of FinOps and CloudOps is ...
