Videos: Watch & Learn
Short videos on cloud operations, AI strategy, and the decisions that actually matter at scale.
AI Is Not Smarter Than Us
AI is trained on the average of us. Cris Daniluk and Kathie Kinde Clark explain why that matters: AI is useful for the things you understand but don't have time for, and a liability for the things you aren't good enough to evaluate yourself.
The Secret to AI Adoption Isn’t Better Training
Mandating AI adoption and measuring it in tokens burned is not a strategy. Cris Daniluk explains why AI adoption inside companies is messier than most leaders expect, and what actually works instead.
It’s a Really Good Time To Be Good At What You Do
AI isn't replacing people. It's replacing people who aren't using it. Cris Daniluk and James Gorman make the case plainly, and explain why right now is an unusually good time to be good at what you do.
Shadow AI Is Where We Were With Cloud 12 Years Ago
AI adoption is following the same shadow IT arc as cloud. Cris Daniluk has watched it play out across the spectrum, and explains why the ungoverned dependency problem is about to send a much larger bill than cloud ever did.
The Biggest Red Flag When Hiring AI Help
The AI vendor market has two ends and a very murky middle. Cris Daniluk offers a straightforward filter for finding vendors worth working with, and explains why the projects that actually ship tend to look nothing like what the demos promised.
Connecting AI to Your Company Opens More Doors Than You Think
Connecting AI to your company data unlocks real productivity. It also opens attack vectors most organizations haven't thought through. Cris Daniluk explains why the shift from AI as a chat tool to AI as a tool-connected ecosystem changes the risk picture entirely, and what to think through before you start connecting.
Prioritize CloudOps from Day One
Cloud operations isn't something founders can defer until the product matures. By the time it becomes a problem, it already is one. Cris Daniluk makes the case for building CloudOps in from day one, what's actually optional early on, and what isn't.
Navigating SOC 2 Compliance for Startups
Enterprise prospects are asking about SOC 2 before most startups are ready to pursue it. Cris Daniluk walks through the practical path to keep compliance from blocking deals at the worst possible moment, and what ten years of working through SOC 2 with clients has taught him about what prospects actually need to hear.
The AI Subsidy Window Is Open. For Now.
AI isn't coming. It's already here. Cris Daniluk and Kathie Kinde Clark make the case for why watching from the sidelines isn't a neutral choice, and why the cost of getting comfortable with AI has never been lower than it is right now.
AI Won’t Replace Infrastructure Engineers
AI can document a years-old undocumented infrastructure environment in days. It can also delete your production database if nobody's watching. Director of Professional Services Dobroslav Slavenskoj lays out where AI genuinely earns its place in infrastructure work, and why that capability doesn't make infrastructure engineers obsolete.
