Cycle.io

For those in infra/devops, the last 2 weeks have been wild. From kernel vulnerabilities (copy.fail, dirtyfrag, etc) to the numerous supply chain attacks on code dependencies, the industry has uncovered a massive amount of vulnerabilities with the help of AI. I think we're still just getting started. I'd bet that a bunch of organizations just added 'time-to-patch' as a KPI for their devops/infra teams. For companies building on Cycle.io, most of these patches were automatic. And the kernel updates? Only a reboot was required. I'm proud of our team. By the time the CVE was assigned for DirtyFrag, we were already shipping a patched kernel.

'Copy/Fail' and 'Dirty Frag' Linux Vulnerabilities Are Already Patched on Cycle! It's been a crazy week in the land of Linux kernel vulnerabilities. We've been updating the kernel in CycleOS within minutes of the vulnerabilities going live. The Linux patch for Dirty Frag (CVE-2026-31431 - https://lnkd.in/g9dYZ6r5) was released less than an two hours ago, and we're the first to get it to our customers.

AI is an incredible assistant, but it’s not ready to be your Infrastructure Architect. Handing the keys to an LLM in order to move faster can backfire quickly. We have followed the recent industry fallout over “vibe-coding” mistakes that led to outages and data breaches, and wanted to share our take on it. TDLR: Do: Use AI to accelerate the mundane and write boilerplate. Don't: Let autonomous agents make critical DevOps or architectural decisions. At Cycle, we practice a Human-First, AI-Second approach. Read our full take on safely navigating the AI coding revolution here: https://lnkd.in/gkbKiHeH

Last year, we opened a European branch of Cycle in Iceland to support our growing customer base in the EU. Last week, some of the team came to break in the new offices. Not too bad, eh? Behind the Cycle platform is an incredible team driving its growth. We're looking to add a Developer Advocate to our ranks to help us keep building! If you are a technologist at heart, are interested in building communities and writing technical copy, we'd love to hear from you. Plus, you may find yourself in Iceland. 🫡 #hiring #devops #infrastructure #eu #data #devrel #devadvocacy
