In this post, we walk you through three main steps: First, you create an AWS CodeConnections host in your VPC with connectivity to your private Git server. Second, you establish a connection that Argo CD can use. Finally, you deploy a sample application to verify the integration. By the end, you have a secure way to deploy applications from private repositories.
The automotive industry is shifting towards Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) architectures, transforming vehicles into AI-native, intelligent hubs within a connected ecosystem. Google, through its Android Automotive OS (AAOS) and Google Cloud, is leading this transition, providing a modular platform that separates core vehicle functions from hardware. The Nexus SDV platform utilizes Google technologies to integrate automotive telemetry and enhance vehicle functionality. This approach enables predictive maintenance by analyzing real-time data, improving customer experiences, and ensuring vehicle uptime. With built-in security measures, OEMs can rapidly implement these advanced solutions to create unique brand experiences and transition from traditional models to an AI-driven ecosystem.
In the evolving landscape of 2026, the public sector is adapting to defend interconnected trust relationships against fast-operating adversaries. Mandiant’s recent report highlights alarming trends, such as a 22-second median attack hand-off to ransomware operators, necessitating a shift towards machine-speed defenses. Additionally, persistent state-sponsored threats challenge standard security measures, while vulnerabilities in virtualization and SaaS integrations create new attack vectors. Continuous verification is now essential for resilience, with Google advocating for identity-centric security, real-time telemetry analysis, and hardening infrastructure. Agencies like the Pasco Sheriff’s Office and the State of Connecticut showcase the effectiveness of these strategies in enhancing security and operational efficiency. The report provides vital insights for public sector leaders aiming to strengthen their defenses against evolving threats.
Managing shadow AI in organizations can be challenging due to workloads deployed without formal registration, which often evade security scanners. To address this, the k8s-aibom tool is being open-sourced. This lightweight Kubernetes controller continuously monitors AI runtimes and generates CycloneDX Machine Learning Bill of Materials (ML-BOMs), offering real-time visibility into cluster environments without requiring changes to existing workflows. It distinguishes between declared and inferred AI configurations, enhancing audit confidence while ensuring data immutability and compliance readiness for regulations like the EU AI Act and NIST AI Risk Management Framework. This solution is designed to support governance, security operations, and developers in managing AI deployment seamlessly.
A panel on data ownership challenged the definition of “ownership,” arguing it must extend beyond simple account control to include structural independence, interoperability, and community governance. Speakers like Zenna Fiscella, Paul Frazee, Boris Mann, and Robin Berjon emphasised the need for shared standards, unbundled platforms, and better tools to support user sovereignty. By Olimpiu Pop
DoorDash details the architecture behind Ask DoorDash, its AI-powered conversational shopping assistant, combining LLMs, specialized AI agents, MCP-based tooling, and an intelligence layer with persistent consumer memory and live backend data. Early results show up to 24% higher checkout conversion, 17% larger baskets, and improved intent accuracy using memory-backed sessions. By Leela Kumili
Precursor, our new continuous behavioral validation engine for bot management, offers visibility into how humans and bots actually interact across the full user journey. By turning session-level behavior into bot detection signals, it identifies advanced automation with higher precision — while reducing friction for legitimate users.
This week’s Java roundup for July 6th, 2026, features news highlighting: the GA release of TornadoVM 5.0; point releases of JHipster, Keycloak and Google ADK; maintenance releases of GraalVM Native Build Tools and Micronaut; the OmniFish Build of Payara and introducing Vidocq, a new implementation of the Jakarta EE 11 Core Profile and MicroProfile 7.1.

As more organizations move to use OpenTelemetry in production at scale, with multiple Collectors across heterogeneous environments, a new challenge arises: how to remotely manage, configure, and update this agent fleet in a consistent and secure…
Organizations are facing challenges with traditional video surveillance storage due to rapidly expanding video data volumes from retail, banking, restaurants, and transportation. Growing retention needs and a desire for operational insights make on-premise storage unsustainable, prompting a search for alternative solutions.
Jake Lazaroff presented the AT Protocol as a versatile framework for distributed applications, extending beyond just social networking. He highlighted the importance of a local-first architecture, enabling users to store data in personal data stores (PDSs) while utilizing a shared infrastructure for synchronization and updates. The presentation featured experiments on collaborative tools, demonstrating advantages such as decreased dependency on app-specific backends.
Opinions on AI range from transformative optimism to deep skepticism, but one thing is clear: AI is becoming an increasingly important part of enterprise technology strategies. Feel free to pick whichever you like. But whatever you…
