Storage Insights datasets: Enabling org-wide operational discovery with activity insights

As enterprise storage footprints scale to billions of objects, AI applications and agentic workloads are fundamentally shifting the role of storage from a passive repository to the foundation of the data platform. This is driven by a surge in unstructured model data and the billions of actions performed on those objects, including session logs and audit trails. To manage this and answer questions about cost, operations, and security, storage and platform admins need to go beyond knowing what dat

How to unlock true ROI in software development – a deep dive into the latest DORA research

How do you prove the business value of generative AI to your teams?  Technology and finance leaders need to show the clear business value of AI projects to secure ongoing funding. While measuring return on investment (ROI) is a key part of validating your technical strategy, long-term success ultimately depends on building the organizational systems and culture needed to make AI work. To help you evaluate the costs and business benefits of AI, we recently shared the DORA: ROI of AI-assisted soft

HCP Packer adds enforced provisioners

Organizations increasingly rely on golden images (such as AMIs, virtual machines, Docker containers, and more) to standardize infrastructure across hybrid-cloud environments. As image usage becomes more distributed across the enterprise, platform and security teams need mechanisms to ensure security requirements remain intact throughout the image lifecycle — without introducing additional complexity for downstream consumers.  Today, we are excited to announce enforced provisioners for HCP Packer

Building a RAG-Powered Bug Triage Agent With AWS Bedrock and OpenSearch k-NN

Bug triage on a graphics engineering team is one of those tasks nobody really wants to own. A new crash report comes in, and somebody has to work out whether it looks like a known issue, what the stack trace points at, which subsystem the affected code lives in, and which sub-team should pick it up. The answers exist in the issue tracker, the source repo, and the architecture docs, but pulling them together by hand takes time. And the engineers best at it are the ones you least want spending hou
