PointFive introduces a new approach to cloud cost management with Cloud Efficiency Posture Management (CEPM) — a discipline focused on optimizing cloud resource configuration, scaling, and architecture. Unlike traditional FinOps tools that emphasize spend visibility and discounts, CEPM continuously identifies root causes of inefficiency, delivers actionable insights, and embeds optimization into engineering workflows. From misconfigured DynamoDB tables to inefficient Aurora storage settings, PointFive helps teams move beyond surface-level cost savings to drive sustained performance, reliability, and cloud efficiency at scale.

Passwordless authentication is the future. Although multifactor authentication (MFA) is still viable, it's not as strong and reliable as the authentication factor found in passwordless authentication.

Esade Ramon Llull University, a top business school, sought a robust database solution to support their critical eLearning platform, Moodle, and its 7,000 students and 1,000 daily concurrent users. Facing poor performance and low availability with MySQL community edition, they chose MariaDB Enterprise Server with Galera Cluster for its high query speed, robust clustering, and comprehensive support, drastically improving Moodle's performance and student experience.

The MariaDB Enterprise Kubernetes Operator simplifies managing MariaDB Enterprise Platform on Kubernetes. Acting as an embedded DBA, it leverages Kubernetes Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) to automate deployment and operation of complex MariaDB topologies, including high-availability Galera clusters and MaxScale setups, using simple YAML files. Key features include effortless deployment, seamless rolling upgrades with minimal downtime, automated backups and recovery, and enhanced security. This operator enables advanced high availability with Galera and integrated load balancing with MaxScale, unlocking enterprise-grade features. Certified for Red Hat OpenShift, it reduces operational complexity, ensures data availability and security, and is available with a MariaDB Enterprise Platform Plus subscription.

The Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), a leading global change research institute, relies on Anaconda to empower its scientists in stewarding a brighter future. With over 100 Anaconda users across diverse scientific disciplines, PIK leverages Anaconda within its high-performance computing (HPC) cluster, ranked among the world's fastest supercomputers. Anaconda grants PIK scientists unprecedented freedom in software choices, versions, and environments, accelerating their model runs and ensuring scientific reproducibility. Ciaron Linstead, HPC Software Support Engineer at PIK, highlights how Anaconda allows system administrators to focus on performance optimization rather than building modules from scratch. Furthermore, practitioners across Python, C, C++, Fortran, and R benefit from Anaconda's fast and flexible package management, enabling quick environment creation, seamless sharing, and efficient utilization of cutting-edge tools like PyTorch for machine learning models. Anaconda is not just a tool; it's a vital enabler for PIK's critical work in climate impact and sustainable development.

OpenEye Scientific, a leader in computational molecular design, has integrated its advanced tools into Orion®, the only cloud-native molecular design platform.
