How Uber Builds Zone-Failure-Resilient OpenSearch Clusters
Uber explained how it keeps its OpenSearch deployments running during a zone outage. It does this by using OpenSearch's built-in shard allocation and its own isolation-group system, which relies on the Odin container orchestration platform. This way, it maintains both query and ingestion capabilities.

Developing and Deploying a Platform that the Business Understands and Developers Actually Want
A lot of platform teams face a problem: they build a lot of really cool stuff, and then their developers don't use it. Be visible to management, talk to stakeholders and listen to their problems, make your value measurable with metrics like DORA, create narratives, and show the hidden pain to make it personal: these are lessons that Lucas Hornung and Christian Matthaei presented.

AI Agents with Cloud Credentials Are Outrunning Billing Guardrails Built for Human-Speed Mistakes
A three-person agency received a $14,000 AWS bill in one day after attackers extracted static access keys and burned Claude invocations on Bedrock. Combined with May's DN42 incident, where an autonomous agent provisioned $6,531 of oversized infrastructure in 24 hours, practitioners warn that cloud billing lags roughly a day behind agent-speed spend.
