Best practices for operating cloud-based generative AI systems
From system design to daily performance tuning, here's a checklist of ways to make your systems run effectively.
Generative AI and migrations to the public cloud
GenAI can analyze application dependencies, network configurations, and security risks, but it will mostly help lazy companies that aren't doing this anyway.

The cloud is integral to most business operations and spending remains unaffected by lower corporate revenue. Still, let's make the most of your cloud dollars.
Why we need both cloud architects and cloud engineers
AI-based design and development is exciting but it doesn't replace sound, solid architecture and engineering in building and deploying cloud-based solutions.
A crisis of spending and cloud-based generative AI
Enterprises want generative AI, but CIOs need a way to pay for it. Diverting spending from traditional cloud computing may not be the best strategy.
When your cloud finops system rats you out to your boss
The time is coming when poor IT design and decisions will be outed by finops automation and artificial intelligence. Are you ready to defend yourself?

The risks of low-code and no-code development in cloud architecture
These prebuilt components simplify development and offer flexibility and speed, but watch out for scalability, security, and integration problems.
3 things to do right now to enhance your cloud computing career
You might think that running back to get a master's degree or joining a country club to make business contacts is the best strategy. It’s simpler than that.
A comeback for private clouds
Enterprises facing high cloud costs are taking a more balanced look at where workloads should reside and considering repatriation to a cloud in their own data center.
