Autodesk has signed a strategic collaboration agreement with Amazon Web Services, and the most immediate outcome for customers is fairly straightforward. Starting in the second quarter of Autodesk’s fiscal year, Fusion for Product Design and Fusion Manage will be available for purchase directly through AWS Marketplace. Read all
Enterprise networking has always been one of those problems that organizations patch rather than fix. Companies layer carrier contracts on top of manual configurations, spread connectivity across multiple providers, and simply hope the whole arrangement holds together. For a long time, that approach was merely inconvenient. Now, however, in an environment where AI workloads demand instant, flexible, and highly reliable connectivity, that same approach is becoming genuinely expensive. Read all
For years, cloud infrastructure competition came down to a fairly simple formula. More servers, faster networking, cheaper compute. The provider with the biggest physical footprint usually won the conversation. That formula is breaking down, and IREN‘s agreed $625 million all-share acquisition of Mirantis shows exactly where the new battleground sits. Read all
Numbers in the AI industry have lost their shock value. Billion-dollar figures cycle through headlines so frequently that most readers scroll past them without a second thought. But the reported $200 billion that Anthropic has committed to spend with Google Cloud over five years deserves a longer look. This is not a funding announcement or a paper valuation. It is a purchasing decision, and that distinction changes everything about how you read it. Read all
Forty years is a long time in any industry. In technology, it is practically geological. Still, IBM and Oracle are marking that milestone not with nostalgia, but with a concrete set of expansions that speak directly to where enterprise IT is heading right now. Read all
For a long time, businesses in New Zealand have had to tolerate the latency that comes with data traveling across oceans before returning an answer. OVHcloud‘s newly activated Auckland Local Zone changes that calculus in a meaningful way. Read all
Somewhere between the hype and the invoice, enterprises are quietly rerouting their AI infrastructure plans. Public cloud was supposed to be the obvious answer. For many organizations, it is turning into the expensive one. Read all
Some markets announce their ambitions loudly and deliver quietly. Saudi Arabia, however, is doing the opposite. The kingdom has committed more than $15 billion toward data center infrastructure, a Cloud Computing Special Economic Zone is taking shape at King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology in Riyadh, and the public cloud market is tracking toward $4 billion by 2027 at a 23 percent annual growth rate.

There is a quiet inefficiency running through most AI-powered products right now. Development teams pick a frontier model, route every request through it regardless of complexity, and accept the cloud costs and latency that come with using premium infrastructure for tasks that do not require it. DigitalOcean‘s launch of its Inference Engine targets that specific pattern directly, introducing a set of cloud production capabilities designed to match each inference request to the right model rather than defaulting every workload to the most expensive cloud option available.

Web creation has gone through two genuinely transformative shifts in the past two decades. WordPress moved the focus from writing code to managing content, which reshaped who could build for the web and what hosting providers needed to offer. Then page builders like Elementor moved the design process out of development queues entirely, letting agencies prototype in real time and deliver client work at a pace that previously required much larger teams. Elementor One and its included AI agent Angie are positioning themselves as the beginning of a third shift along that same line. Read all
A Linux kernel vulnerability that Microsoft researchers discovered and disclosed this week is drawing urgent attention from cloud and Kubernetes security teams for a specific reason: it turns a relatively ordinary level of initial access into something considerably more dangerous. The flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-31431 and nicknamed Copy Fail, allows an unprivileged local user to escalate privileges all the way to root on affected systems, with a CVSS score of 7.8 reflecting how seriously the security community rates that capability.
