GMI Cloud plans to invest $500 million in a new AI data center in Taiwan, tapping Nvidia’s Blackwell GB300 chips to anchor a 7,000-GPU cluster by early 2026. The project marks a significant push to expand local AI capacity as demand rises across the region. CEO Alex Yeh said Taiwan needs more “strategic” infrastructure, noting the company’s GPU usage is already near full. Early customers include Nvidia, Trend Micro, and Wistron. Read all
The widespread outage that rippled across major online platforms earlier today came from a simple but far reaching mistake inside Cloudflare’s own systems. In its early assessment, the company explained that no attack or malicious activity played a role. Instead, a change to database permissions led the system to write multiple entries into a file used by its bot management tools. That small shift created a chain reaction that pushed services into failure mode and triggered a wave of 500 errors across the internet. Read all

A record breaking DDoS attack that unfolded in late October has renewed concerns about how quickly criminal operators are scaling their operations by tapping into everyday internet devices. Microsoft reported that its Azure DDoS Protection systems intercepted a multi vector attack that peaked at 15.72 Tbps and nearly 3.64 billion packets per second, all aimed at a single public endpoint in Australia. The assault came from the Aisuru botnet, a Mirai based network built out of compromised home routers, cameras, and other small devices that rarely see patches or security reviews. Read all
Kubernetes maintainers set a firm retirement date for Ingress NGINX, urging teams to shift away before support ends in March 2026. They point to mounting technical debt, shrinking maintainer capacity, and growing security concerns as reasons to close the project. Teams now face a two-year window to assess alternatives, with many expected to adopt Gateway API–based controllers to modernize traffic management and reduce long-term operational risk. Read all
Gartner reports that Broadcom’s overhaul of VMware is pushing the server virtualization market into its biggest shift in decades. Many longtime VMware customers now face steep price hikes and altered product plans, prompting them to explore other hypervisor options. Gartner urges IT leaders to define their core needs, evaluate modern platforms, and prepare structured exit strategies as organizations accelerate migration efforts through 2026. Read all
OVHcloud has taken a decisive step into one of the most complex areas of modern computing with the introduction of its Quantum Platform, a new service built to give businesses and public institutions direct access to advanced quantum processors. The platform debuts with Pasqal’s Orion Beta system, which provides a 100 qubit architecture, and OVHcloud says it plans to bring at least eight more quantum processing units into the service by 2027.

EU regulators are preparing to probe whether AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud should fall under the Digital Markets Act after a string of high-profile outages exposed the cloud sector’s dependence on a few dominant players. Officials want clarity on whether customers deserve stronger interoperability and easier data portability. The inquiry marks the first serious push to apply DMA rules to enterprise cloud giants, signaling rising concern over their growing market influence. Read all
A newly uncovered security flaw inside Imunify360 AV has raised serious concerns among hosting providers, after researchers revealed that attackers can use the vulnerability to seize full control of a server. Patchstack, the firm that investigated the issue, said the flaw affects both the file scanner and the database scanner within the AI-Bolit engine, which protects more than 56 million websites. The discovery drew attention not only because it is severe but also because it shows how the scanner’s own design can work against the systems it is supposed to protect. Read all
Tencent is easing back on capital spending after admitting it can’t secure the volume of GPUs it wants for AI expansion. Executives said supply constraints will push capex even lower, despite rising demand from cloud customers seeking accelerators the company can’t always provide. Yet revenue and profit continued to climb in Q3, suggesting Tencent is leaning on efficiency gains and homegrown chip progress while it waits out China’s tightening AI hardware supply chain. Read all
CloudZero has expanded its FinOps platform with tools that give teams a clearer view of how Kubernetes clusters consume resources and drive costs. The update lets engineers trace usage down to workloads and spot overprovisioned CPU or memory before it becomes waste. It also links cluster spending to customers and products, helping technical and finance teams align on value as Kubernetes continues to anchor modern cloud operations. Read all
A newly uncovered phishing operation has started circulating across Italy, and researchers say it is one of the more coordinated efforts they have seen recently.
