Google Cloud Network Insights: Active monitoring for cross-cloud visibility

Google Cloud has launched Cloud Network Insights in partnership with Broadcom AppNeta, a native observability tool that uses active synthetic probing to monitor network performance and digital experience across multi-cloud and hybrid environments. It integrates directly with Cloud Monitoring and Gemini Cloud Assist, helping teams pinpoint bottlenecks rapidly.

Chinese Threat Actor UNC6508 Targets Medical REDCap Servers for Espionage

A sophisticated PRC-linked espionage campaign compromised medical research REDCap servers for over a year, using a custom malware called INFINITERED to harvest credentials and then abusing enterprise email compliance rules for silent data exfiltration. A detailed breakdown of the attack chain, malware mechanics, and defensive takeaways for any organization running shared research platforms.

Google’s Brazos: Rack-Mounted Liquid Cooling for Air-Cooled Data Centers

Google's Brazos is a rack-mounted, closed-loop liquid-to-air cooling system that lets you deploy high-density liquid-cooled equipment in existing air-cooled data centers without facility-wide retrofits. It supports 60 kW per rack, uses DI water or PG25, and will be open-sourced through the Open Compute Project — a practical path for operators to cool next-gen AI chips.

Profiling in PyTorch (Part 2): From nn.Linear to a Fused MLP

The article traces the journey from a single nn.Linear to a fused MLP, showing that torch.compile fuses GeLU and multiplication into one Triton kernel while leaving the three cuBLAS GEMMs untouched. It then introduces hand-tuned Liger kernels that achieve the same fusion without compile latency or shape specialization, trading a few microseconds of peak performance for robustness across changing input sizes.
