Every admin who has worked on a Microsoft 365 move knows the PST problem. Old email sits in PST files on laptops, shared drives and old backups, and someone has to get it into the new mailboxes without losing anything. Microsoft gives you two free ways to do this. The Outlook import wizard works for […]

Nothing last week added a new kind of compute. What it did instead was shorten the distance between the code you already have and that code being live. AWS Lambda learned to run a plain HTTP server with no adapter in front of it, and Amazon S3 became something you can provision from inside the […]

Disk encryption and TLS are now default in most cloud estates. They do not stop a hypervisor, a cloud operator, or a compromised guest kernel from reading the same data once it is loaded for processing. Confidential computing narrows who can see that plaintext while it is in use; it does not take the chip […]

Developers building web and AI applications on Vercel can now add Amazon S3 storage resources directly from the Vercel Marketplace and v0, combining the durability, scalability, and performance of S3 with the convenience of Vercel’s provisioning workflow. Starting today, Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), including Amazon S3 Tables and Amazon S3 Vectors, is natively […]

The price of an AI token has collapsed. The cost of getting finished work out of AI has not. The two are moving in opposite directions, and the first is hiding the second. A token is a rate card. A completed task, once an AI system plans, calls tools, checks its work and tries again, […]

While cloud services and AI features can be valuable assets, in many cases, they present serious security concerns, especially if the access rights, responsibilities, and data ownership are not clearly defined. Thus, an organization’s IT governance strategy enables it to formalize control and compliance policies, standardize employee responsibilities, and define measures related to audit and […]

Some numbers are hard to picture until you sit with them for a moment. Last week we published the Prime Day 2026 metrics, and the one that stuck with me is 2.3 quadrillion: the daily requests Amazon ElastiCache peaked at during the event. Prime Day ran back in June, so this post always lands as […]

A good vulnerability management (VM) program can tell you which software vulnerabilities need attention and help get them fixed. As environments have expanded across cloud, identity, operational technology (OT), applications, and other systems, VM teams have gained access to much more information that can affect those decisions. Technical severity does not always reflect the risk […]

Today, we’re announcing AWS Lambda Web Functions, a new form factor that lets you run standard HTTP web applications on Lambda without rewriting your code into an event handler. You can take a standard port-listening server built with Express, Hono, Fastify, Next.js, or any Node.js framework, deploy it with a single command, and Lambda automatically […]

I’ve spent enough time around freight platforms to know that a clean carrier profile can give people a false sense of certainty. The authority may be active, the history may look normal, and the carrier may be a strong fit for the load. None of that tells me whether the person handling this transaction is […]
