Today, we’re announcing managed daemon support for Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) Managed Instances. This new capability extends the managed instances experience we introduced in September 2025, by giving platform engineers independent control over software agents such as monitoring, logging, and tracing tools, without requiring coordination with application development teams, while also improving reliability by ensuring every instance consistently runs required daemons and enabling comprehensive host-level monitoring. When running containerized workloads at scale, platform engineers manage a wide range of responsibilities, from scaling and patching infrastructure to keeping applications running reliably and maintaining the operational agents that support those…

Microsoft is investigating and working to resolve Exchange Online mailbox access issues that have intermittently affected Outlook mobile and macOS users for weeks. When it first acknowledged this service issue (tracked under EX1256020) last week, Microsoft said the root cause was a newly introduced virtual account. While the company flagged it as resolved on April 1, the incident has been re-added to the admin message center under a different tag (EX1268771). “We’ve received reports from affected tenants that the impact scenario originally communicated through SHD EX1256020 is still ongoing. We’re working to restart the Notification Broker service on affected portions…

Technical research commissioned by UK Water Industry Research (UKWIR) and conducted by the University of Sheffield has provided a breakthrough in understanding how and why cast iron pipes fail, according to the group. The UK water industry faces a unique challenge due to a significant legacy of grey cast iron (GCI) infrastructure, much of which dates back to the interwar period. The newly released report, ‘Understanding how the deterioration of cast iron pipes evolves into leakage’, supports smarter, more proactive leakage management by validating a model for predicting the fatigue strength of GCI pipes. Crucially, the project found that micro-cracks can naturally reseal when pressure is lowered, creating a temporary reprieve. Properly managed, this effect allows utilities to better prioritise…

Learn everything about Swift modules, libraries, packages, closed source frameworks, command line tools and more. Basic definitionsFirst of all you should have a clear understanding about the basic terms. If you already know what’s the difference between a module, package, library or framework you can skip this section. However if you still have some mixed feelings about these things, please read ahead, you won’t regret it. 😉PackageA package consists of Swift source files and a manifest file.A package is a collection of Swift source files. If you are using Swift Package Manager you also have to provide a manifest file…

IBM and ETH Zurich has announced a 10-year collaboration to advance the next generation of algorithms at the intersection of AI and quantum computing. This initiative represents the latest step in the long-standing collaboration between the two institutions, further strengthening a scientific exchange that has helped create the future of information technology.  Algorithms are the hidden architecture of modern technology. They power scientific discovery, economic growth and technological progress, from classical computing to today’s AI revolution. With quantum computing bringing increasing value to science and industry, entirely new algorithmic foundations — as well as new ways of understanding and representing data —…

Every time I pull out my phone to pay at a store, the cashiers assume I’ll pay via UPI. While the payments infrastructure has plenty going for it, I prefer credit cards, so I use Google Pay’s Tap to Pay feature. Google rolled out the feature in India all the way back in 2020, but it was limited to just two banks, and it predictably didn’t gain much traction.But Google built out the feature over the last five years, and Tap to Pay works with most major debit and credit cards issued in India. I used it with my HDFC…

A team of researchers from Poland have developed new mathematical methods that could help enable better control of quantum entanglement and teleportation experiments Artistic representation of quantum entanglement (Credit: iStock/Jian-Fan) Most headline-grabbing advances in quantum mechanics today are experimental in nature: more qubits, entangled particles, fewer errors. Often overlooked are the advances in the mathematics that underpins the behaviour of these quantum systems. The walled Brauer algebra is an abstract but increasingly important mathematical structure that appears in quantum information theory whenever physicists study particles, symmetries and transformations involving permutations and partial transposition. Work in this area inevitably leads to the…

Digital transformation has already changed our lives a lot and is continuing to change further, bringing new opportunities and introducing new terms like digital assets and the systems to manage them. What is digital asset management, and why is it important? These are the notions we are going to explain in this blog post. What Are Digital Assets? The definition of a digital asset differs from source to source and keeps changing as more things go digital. Most often, the term refers to media content like photos, videos, and other things that represent a brand. We would also use a…

  Advertising has automated transactions, but not workflows. Bidding, targeting, and optimization are already machine-led across much of the stack, yet campaigns still move through disconnected tools, platforms, and approval chains. The result is an industry that appears automated on the surface but still depends on manual stitching underneath.   That is why the next phase of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in advertising is not about adding more copilots. It is about enabling agents to operate across systems with context, permissions, and task awareness. The emerging standards in advertising already reflect this shift: Open Real-time Bidding (OpenRTB) remains the auction layer, Ad Context Protocol (AdCP) frames campaign-level workflow coordination, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) enables agents to interact with platforms through structured tool-calling.   MCP does not make advertising…
