Docker Sandbox addresses this challenge through a bidirectional workspace sync that preserves the same absolute paths inside the sandbox as on the host....

Suzanne

In Part 1 of this blog series set the stage for why platform engineering is being reshaped by agentic AI. (read it here) Basically we outline how instead of humans translating intent through layers of CLIs, SDKs, and bespoke workflows, capable agents can interpret natural-language goals and turn them into safe, validated platform actions using w...

Project Nighthawk: A Research Agent Built for Field Engineering

Diego,
Ray

If you work in field engineering, you know the scenario. A customer is deploying AKS in a regulated environment. They hit an issue during node bootstrapping. They want to know exactly what happens when a node joins the cluster, which components run in which order, and whether the behaviour they're seeing is expected. The question sounds simple. T...
