LY Corporation, the Japanese tech giant formed by the merger of Yahoo! Japan and LINE, is overhauling its cloud infrastructure. To resolve difficulties caused by heavy customizations, the company is consolidating its sprawling network of over 160 OpenStack clusters into a single, streamlined cloud called "Flava." This new architecture will prioritize staying aligned with upstream OpenStack versions to ensure easier upgrades and improved security. The strategy focuses on three pillars: pursuing statelessness, implementing application-driven availability, and enabling faster recovery through Infrastructure as Code. By minimizing custom patches and embracing automation, LY Corp aims to manage its massive user base of 300 million people more efficiently while addressing previous security and privacy concerns.
Microsoft revealed a new AI tool called Infra Copilot, which uses its existing GitHub Copilot to create infrastructure code.
Infra Copilot is designed to understand the context of infrastructure tasks and generate appropriate code suggestions based on natural language prompts.
The tool can streamline the coding process, enabling professionals to focus on higher-level tasks.
It also provides standardized code snippets for consistency across different environments.
Infra Copilot is available now to programmers with a recent Visual Studio Code version and a GitHub Copilot license.
Microsoft has also launched GitHub Copilot Enterprise, using data from a company's own code repositories to generate code and answer questions, priced at $39 per month per user.
