A prompt is not a security control. It’s a wish.

You can write “never touch production” into your AI agent’s prompt all you want. It’s probabilistic - one day it ignores you anyway.

The fix isn’t a smarter prompt. It’s a boundary the agent physically can’t cross: a hard ceiling on identity (Vault), policy-as-code that rejects bad plans (Sentinel), a governed way to act (MCP).

IBM spent the last year consolidating all of it into one stack. The cage already exists - stop hand-rolling your own.

Your AI agent is tired of terminals. It wants your phone.📱

Meet MobAI-MCP: gives Claude virtual fingers to swipe/tap iOS & Android.

🔥 Pros: 0.5s UI parse, runs local.
🫠 Cons: FULL device control.

My partner @heyvaldemar's piece just dropped on @Docker — deep dive on Sandboxes architecture.

The Trust Spectrum framing alone is worth the read: match isolation to the workload, not to the technology category.

Only 6-7% of teams reach the "advanced" cloud native tier.
I assumed it took more Kubernetes, service mesh, the hard stuff.
The CNCF Q1 2026 data proved me wrong. The actual bridge? Feature flagging - and the report explains exactly why.
I also got the author's take on why nobody saw it coming.

[Tatiana Mikhaleva @DevOpsPink]

Nobody hands production to an AI on day one.

You earn it in stages:
1. Observe - it watches, gives hints
2. Advise - suggests specific steps
3. Approve - prepares the fix, you press the button
4. Autonomy - only inside rules you set
The mistake is jumping to 4 because the demo looked good.

Back in the day, you could find the engineer who wrote the code.
Today?
Half was written by AI.
The other half - by someone who left two years ago. Nobody fully understands what's running in prod anymore.

You know that sound.
The one that means the next few hours of your life are no longer yours.

The alert sound.
Prod is down.

If you've been on-call, you don't need me to explain. You know.

🤖 Half your codebase was written by AI.
👤 The other half by someone who left two years ago.

Guess who's on-call when it breaks.

New video on Rootly AI SRE - the partner that's got your back when prod goes down.

[Tatiana Mikhaleva @DevOpsPink]

Google: 75% of new code is now AI-generated.

18 months ago it was 25%.

The software engineer is no longer the author - they're the editor.
Same name tag, different job.
But we're still paid like authors.
Don't blow our cover. 🤫

Want to let AI agents go full YOLO mode without risking your host? 🚀

See how @Docker solves the isolation problem with Docker Sandboxes. Lightweight microVMs keep your system completely safe.🛡️

You can have green DORA metrics and still have miserable developers. 🛑

Speed ≠ Joy.

To get real IDP adoption, we need to treat platforms like products. APIs aren't enough.

You didn’t save time by skipping Auto Scaling.

- You just financed your technical debt with your sleep.
- If your architecture wakes you up at 3:00 AM, you built a trap, not a system.
- The autopsy of your infrastructure is live.

They asked about my typical day.

Told GitKraken how I survive the context-switching: total visual clarity.
I don't fight the terminal anymore, I just focus on building. 🚀💖

[GitKraken @GitKraken]

@DevOpsPink jumps between multiple repos daily - cloud automation, DevOps Pink content, testing, teaching.

"That beautiful visual graph instantly tells me exactly where all my branches are."
