Google Cloud hands VMware lifecycle control back to you on bare metal
Google Cloud now offers a self-managed VMware option on bare metal, giving you root access across ESXi, vCenter, and NSX in 22 regions. It shifts lifecycle control, patching, and Broadcom licensing back to you. This sits beside the managed VMware Engine and matches what AWS and Oracle provide. For teams who want full command of their infrastructure without losing VMware's power, this is a welcome move. Explore how GitLab 19.5 brings governed AI agents into your workflow for another take on platform control.
Four-Layer Tenant Isolation Keeps EKS Workloads Secure by Design
ReadyOn's Harmony platform treats tenant isolation as a structural commitment, not an afterthought. By weaving together Kubernetes namespaces, dedicated Karpenter node pools, VPC security groups, and per-tenant Aurora databases, it creates four distinct layers of defense. The 10-stage threat model, focused squarely on cross-tenant access and lateral movement, shows a security posture built for real-world attacks. For teams exploring similar architecture, our coverage of the recent PHP critical flaws offers a timely reminder of why such boundaries matter.

As focus shifts to Dia, we see a team learning from what Arc built and what it couldn't reach. For founders navigating their own transitions, our piece on *Navigating a Series A today requires a smarter approach, not just a better pitch* offers timely perspective.
