EU To Soon Classify AWS and Azure As Gatekeepers Under DSA

The European Commission is reportedly preparing to provisionally classify Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure as "gatekeepers" under the Digital Markets Act, bringing cloud infrastructure under the law's stricter competition rules for the first time.

AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) Study Notes

I sat the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) back in 2024 and passed. CLF-C02 is AWS's foundational certification - broad rather than deep, covering cloud concepts, security, core services, and billing at a level anyone working around AWS should recognise.

It is the most accessible AWS exam, so if you already work with AWS day to day, a lot of this will be familiar. Treat it as a breadth…

Spot AWS cost anomalies before they wreck your budget

Quick take

AWS bill spikes are almost never random. They follow four predictable signals: a service line that grew faster than your traffic, a region that was not in the plan, a usage type that was unused last month, and a percentage delta that crosses the 30% threshold. Catch all four early, and the next budget incident becomes a Slack notification, not a Monday-morning fire.

If you only…

I’m new here, so this is just a quick hello.

I work around industrial IoT, mostly the part where software has to deal with things that are not very “software-like”: field devices, unstable networks, old protocols, locked cabinets, remote sites, and machines that are expected to keep running for a long time.

It’s a slightly strange corner of tech.

On paper, an IoT project can look very clean: device → gateway → cloud → dashboard

Then the…

Nvidia H100 and GPU Pricing 2026: Buy, Rent, and Cloud Costs Explained

The Nvidia H100 was the workhorse behind nearly every major language model trained between 2023 and 2025, and in 2026 it remains a central line item in any AI infrastructure budget. But H100 pricing is famously hard to pin down: there is no clean sticker price, rental rates swing widely by provider, and newer GPUs like the H200 and B200 are reshaping the value calculation. This guide lays out…

What Beginners Get Wrong About IT Certifications

Certifications help when they match a role and are backed by proof — not as a scoreboard.

The problem

Beginners are told certifications are the key to IT, so they buy the most popular one, pass it, and are surprised when interviews still go badly. A certificate proves you can pass an exam; it does not, on its own, prove you can do the job.

Why this matters now

Certifications remain…

Cloud Computing 101: What Every Beginner Should Know

When I first started learning cloud computing, I kept hearing terms like _Azure_ , _AWS_ , _IaaS_ , _PaaS_ , and _SaaS_. It felt like everyone already understood the language except me.

SEPULTURA – “The cloud of unknowing” (Nuclear Blast)

Δύσκολο το να αποχαιρετάς μπάντες που σε μεγάλωσαν σαν ακροατή, σαν μουσικόφιλο.

Today, identity has become the backbone of all digital enterprises. It’s the ‘invisible engine’ that powers everything. From security to how modern-day products are sold.
