How Tigera Enforces Zero Trust on Kubernetes With Calico
Default flat networking inside Kubernetes clusters allows compromised workloads to freely navigate internal services and attempt lateral movement. Discover how Tigera leverages Calico to enforce Zero Trust security—combining default-deny posture, identity-aware microsegmentation, ordered policy tiers, and native flow log engines like Goldmane and Whisker to secure east-west cloud-native traffic.
How Aiven Keeps Open-Source Data Infrastructure on Any Cloud
Operating open-source databases and event-streaming clusters in production often forces platform teams into a relentless cycle of patching, failover management, and broker scaling. Discover how Aiven provides a multi-cloud managed data platform across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud—simplifying infrastructure operations for Apache Kafka, PostgreSQL, and ClickHouse while preserving open-source flexibility.
Secure-by-Design Cloud Security: How Native Moves Security Into the Architecture
Detection-based cloud security tools leaves a critical exposure window where attackers can exploit misconfigurations before remediation occurs. On the Software Plaza podcast, Native co-founder Gal Ordo explains how shift-down security translates architectural policy intent directly into native cloud-provider primitives—enforcing secure-by-design boundaries across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and OCI to eliminate risks before deployment.

Why Kubernetes upgrades fail and how to automate them
Kubernetes releases a new minor version roughly every four months, leaving lagging clusters at risk of forced multi-version migrations. Discover why cluster upgrades fail—from hidden API deprecations and version skew to strict admission webhooks—and learn how platform engineering teams automate preflight checks, GitOps workflows, and progressive delivery gates to make upgrades routine.
How a stolen API key cost a Fortune 500 company $2 million in overnight cloud bills
A single hardcoded API key committed to a public GitHub repository resulted in a $2 million overnight cloud bill after automated bots hijacked access to spin up high-cost GPU instances. In the AI era, the financial blast radius of credential theft has expanded exponentially—shifting secret management from basic repository scanning to real-time billing anomaly enforcement and temporary workload identity federation.
Lumilens debuts with $700M war chest at $5.5B valuation
As massive AI training clusters hit copper interconnect limitations, silicon photonics startup Lumilens has emerged from stealth with over $700 million in Series C funding at a $5.51 billion valuation. Backed by Atreides Management and Bain Capital Ventures, Lumilens is already shipping its vertically integrated LumiCore optical platform directly into hyperscaler production data centers to eliminate scale-up and scale-out GPU networking bottlenecks.
MetalBear’s mirrord: Testing AI Agents Against Your Real Infrastructure
Eyal Bukchin, Co-founder and CTO at MetalBear, makes the case that AI agents write code fast, but they build on assumptions about your stack that
How Sonatype Guards the Software Supply Chain from Code to Cloud
Modern applications are built on open-source packages, containers, APIs, and AI models operating at machine scale. In its 2026 State of the Software Supply Chain report, Sonatype highlights how shift-left security is evolving into end-to-end supply chain governance—combining upstream firewalling, contextual SCA, automated remediation, and continuous SBOM management to secure components from intake to cloud.
