The State of #FinOps 2024 site is live and priorities have shifted: 'empowering engineers to take action' has been dethroned by 'reducing waste' and 'managing commitment based discounts', 'AI costs' are increasing for the some, 'forecasting' still ranks high, and Sustainability team integration is fledgling but slated to grow considerably. Read the analysis below, check out data.finops.org for the data, and watch for the upcoming recording of the Summit panel with Natalie Daley, Anne Johnston, Bindu Sharma, Mike Fuller on the FinOps Foundation YouTube.

Meet us next week at #fintechdevcon! Our founders will be running a workshop on security for developers, by walking through a refactoring of a microservice architecture to significantly improve its security controls! If you've ever thought that implementing pragmatic security requires expert knowledge, this is a great session to attend!

As Datadog grows, the amount of new products and features we announce at our DASH conference has become overwhelming. This year, the recap spans FIVE blog posts! My suggested game plan for engineers (and myself!): time box an hour each day to read one post and select one or two interesting new things to read more about. After those 5 total hours, choose a couple you want to try out/PoC. Just like most things we do: small steps and iterate. - Round up (pt1): https://lnkd.in/gkR4-DFC - Infra (pt2): https://lnkd.in/gtTPuFkX - Apps (pt3): https://lnkd.in/gPhh3s4Y - Security (pt4): https://lnkd.in/gaCrXucB - Teams (pt5): https://lnkd.in/gapCZ_Dz

New Post: EF-Supported Teams: Research & Development Roundup - We all have a lot to be thankful for this holiday season, from the first birthday of the beacon chain, to the successful upgrades over the past year and the incredible progress across the entire Ethereum ecosystem. As a highly productive year draws to a close, there are a few final gifts to deliver in the form of updates from many (15+!!) EF-supported teams that are always working to improve the network. And there's a lot of substantive material here, so take some time to sort through the table of contents, and dig in! As always, this roundup series focuses on EF-supported teams whose members are working to grow and improve Ethereum as a whole. Included in this edition are updates from many teams highlighted in the previous report, and other new and rotating groups. Enjoy! 🦄 Consensus R&D (aka EF Research Team) Authored by Hsiao-Wei Wang In the second half of this year, the milestones in Ethereum consensus R&D included: To align with The Great Renaming, we shifted components to “Consensus Layer” from “Eth2” for clearer communication in the long term. In early 2022, our team will focus on helping to deliver the “The Merge”, the most significant consensus protocol upgrade ever. Fortunately, we have great support from client teams, and others in the community working to make this a reality! In the meantime, we will be continuing our research work on data availability, L1 scaling, and the features of the “clean up” fork after The Merge. Ecosystem Support Program Authored by ESP Team We published our Q2 Allocation Update with grants totalling $7,794,000 for the quarter - and Q3 is coming soon! You can also check out recent monthly roundups here and here for more detailed progress updates from a few of our fabulous grantees. Behind the scenes, we’re working on a major website overhaul which should make it easier than ever to understand ESP’s mission and priorities, and for eligible builders to apply for funding or other support. We can’t wait to launch the new site in early 2022! Ethereum.org Authored by Sam Richards To make our work more accessible and to foster more community collaboration, our team publishes an overview of our quarterly roadmap goals. See our Q4 product roadmap here. Happy holidays to all from the ethereum.org team 😀🎄 As always, our vision with ethereum.org is to create the best portal for Ethereum’s growing community and to serve as the front door to Ethereum for millions of new visitors each month. Content updates Ethereum moves fast! As well as updating hundreds of pages to ensure our content stays up to date and accurate, we’ve also released a bunch of new content: Ethereum.org exists thanks to hundreds of content and code contributors from the community. In Q3/Q4, we put emphasis on ways to increase contributions and acknowledge the community for the work they were doing: Some stats (Aug - Dec) Our GitHub contribu

Whether you attended #KubeCon NA or skipped it this year, the SiliconANGLE & theCUBE's coverage is worth a read. "This year, the real action is focused on the edges of the cloud-native ecosystem: security, portability, data management and specialized forms of observability and measurement." See what stood out at this year's conference, and discover what industry leaders had to say, including a quote from Speedscale's Matt LeRay!

The GitLab Global DevSecOps survey report is out now! This year’s report shows that AI is now an integral part of software development: 78% of respondents said they are currently using AI in software development or plan to in the next 2 years, up from 64% last year.

This is why it takes decades to deliver new warfighting capabilities. If we are going to keep up with China (and other emerging nation state threats willing to adopt new technology at commercial velocity) the DoD needs to pivot to outcomes-based models of acquisition. We don't have the time anymore for the painfully long process of exquisite requirements driven product/capability development. Especially when it comes to AI/C2. And we can't afford for CJADC2 to be lost in the morass of cost-plus contracts that deliver little more than a siloed capabilities that meet requirements and are contractual compliant but don't actually solve the warfighters problems. Unless we want a repeat of FCS. #jadc2 #dodtech #digitaltransformation
