AWS announced the email-to-DNS migration path on 13 August 2026 with three hard deadlines attached. The ACM User Guide chapter that documents the migration mentions none of them.
Amazon EKS clusters built since 2018 carry a 10-year certificate authority. AWS now appends a successor 2 years out and activates it 6 months before expiry, ready or not.
MSK shipped cluster-level custom domain names on 17 August 2026 at no extra charge. The docs add what the announcement omits: every new broker needs its own NLB listener and DNS record.
Amazon EKS charges $0.60 per cluster hour once a Kubernetes version leaves standard support, six times the $0.10 base rate. That number, not a job title, is what a DevOps hire is really being asked to prevent.
Go ships a security patch roughly every month and drops a major version out of support the day the next-but-one arrives. How eCorpIT builds and maintains Go services against that clock.
Buying DevOps services in 2026 is mostly a decision about who owns the upgrade treadmill. Kubernetes ships a minor version every four months with 14 months of support, and AWS, Google and Microsoft all charge
GitHub gave enterprise owners a central MCP allowlist on 6 August 2026. VS Code removed the ChatAgentHostEnabled admin policy on 5 August. One week, one control gained and one lost - and GitHub's own docs say the new
The classic Azure landing zones Terraform module is pinned to AzureRM 3.x and was scheduled for archive on 1 August 2026. Getting to AzureRM 5.0 is a module migration, not a version bump.
CNCF's Q1 2026 Technology Radar places Backstage, Helm and kro in Adopt, and just 28% of surveyed organisations run a dedicated platform team. Here is how to build an internal developer platform that engineers use
Terraform 1.16.0-beta1 (23 July 2026) adds destroy = false to resource lifecycle blocks, on_failure modes for action triggers, import blocks inside modules and Mermaid graph output. A working guide to each, with
Terraform AzureRM provider 5.0 landed on 27 July 2026. It registers no Azure Resource Providers by default, turns enhanced validation off, and deletes the legacy App Service resources. Here is the HCL that keeps your
Kubernetes v1.36 landed on 22 April 2026 with 70 enhancements. Three changes will actually break production clusters, one widely repeated claim about IPVS is wrong, and EKS extended support costs 6x standard. Here is
GitHub's managed-settings.json went GA on 1 July 2026 with 5 keys. By 3 August it gained per-team overrides and a separate model policy preview. Here is the file layout, the merge rules, and where the reference
GitHub closed Spark to new users on 4 August 2026 and gives existing builders until 31 August to export. The export hands you React and TypeScript source that still depends on four managed services you no longer have.
GitHub Enterprise Importer reached general availability for GitLab sources on 3 August 2026, with a gh gl2gh CLI extension. It moves repositories, issues and merge requests. It does not move your pipelines.
Between 31 August 2026 and 17 August 2027, seven upstream deadlines land on the same engineering team. A release platform that absorbs them beats a quarterly scramble, and the difference is mostly plumbing.
India's takedown regime now runs on a 36-hour statutory clock that in practice compresses to hours. This is what an intermediary has to build to keep safe harbour, not what a lawyer has to argue afterwards.
India's 23 July 2026 Press Note 3 carves an export-only exception into the FDI ban on inventory-based e-commerce. The policy is short. The engineering behind a compliant export-inventory platform is not.
Python 3.15 reaches release candidate 1 on 4 August 2026 and ships 1 October. The four changes that cost real engineering time: PEP 810 lazy imports, the abi3t ABI, UTF-8 defaults, and an 8-9% JIT.
CloudNativePG, KubeBlocks, and Crunchy PGO all run production Postgres on Kubernetes, but they make different bets on HA, backups, and scope. Here is how they compare in 2026, with real config, and when a managed
Since the April 2026 update, Copilot agents in Visual Studio automatically discover skills from six directories, three of which live inside the repository. Microsoft shipped a trust dialog for MCP servers in June. Agent
VS Code 1.129 moved agent sessions into a dedicated process on 15 July 2026. Sessions now outlive the window that started them, which makes chat.agentHost.enabled a platform decision, not a user one.
Browser tools for GitHub Copilot in VS Code became generally available on 1 July 2026 and ship enabled by default. These are the settings, policies and rollout order that keep agent browsing contained.
Dynamic Resource Allocation is GA in Kubernetes v1.35, but NVIDIA's upstream driver still ships its GPU kubelet plugin disabled by default. Here is what actually works today, with manifests.
Vendor posts say OpenTelemetry's GenAI client spans went stable in early 2026. The specification says Development on every page, which sits below Alpha. Here is what that means for your instrumentation.
Kubernetes 1.35 is the last version to support containerd 1.x; from 1.36 containerd 2.0 is the floor. Here is what breaks in your node config, how to find at-risk nodes, and how GKE, EKS and AKS differ.
The 2026-07-28 MCP revision removes the initialize handshake and the protocol-level session, so any instance can serve any request. The maintainers say nothing switches off on 28 July.
Four vendors rebuilt their agent runtimes around the session in 2026, and they agree on routing but disagree on the compute primitive underneath. A comparison of AWS AgentCore, Azure AI Foundry, Google Agent Engine
Cloud Run now fails over between regions automatically using readiness probes and serverless NEGs. Here is the working gcloud setup, plus the two defaults that silently break failover.
Ingress NGINX maintenance ended in March 2026: no releases, no bugfixes, no security updates. ingress2gateway v1.1.0 maps 34 ingress-nginx annotations to Gateway API, refuses 7 more, and there are two NGINX providers
Kubernetes 1.35 shipped Pod Certificates at Beta and constrained impersonation at Alpha. Neither is the zero-trust mTLS upgrade the headlines promised, and the KEP says so directly. Here is the real scope.
Most modernization fails on delivery risk, not technology. Here are five patterns that cut that risk in 2026, framed as a platform engineering playbook, from strangler fig to DORA-metric guardrails.
