This episode of Ship It Weekly is about modern reliability getting squeezed from both directions. Old-school failures still hit hard, like broken DNSSEC, kernel privilege escalation bugs, and GitOps behavior changes. But newer automation layers add a second kind of risk, where AI agents, machine identity, and cloud control planes can do real damage fast when authority is too broad. Brian covers the Cursor and PocketOS production database wipe, the .de DNSSEC outage and Cloudflare’s response, Bluesky’s April outage postmortem, Argo CD v3.1.16 reaching end of life plus the v3.4.1 behavior change, Linux kernel CVE-2026-31431 under active exploitation, and why Google Cloud Agent Identity and AWS MCP Server GA both point to agents becoming first-class infrastructure actors.Sponsored by Guardsquare https://hubs.ly/Q04fJgkJ0LinksCursor / PocketOS production database wipe https://www.tellerstech.com/on-call-brief/2026-W19/Cloudflare on the .de DNSSEC outage https://blog.cloudflare.com/de-tld-outage-dnssec/Bluesky April 2026 outage postmortem https://pckt.blog/b/jcalabro/april-2026-outage-post-mortem-219ebg2Argo CD releases: v3.1.16 final release and v3.4.1 behavior change https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/releasesLinux kernel CVE-2026-31431 https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-31431AWS bulletin for CVE-2026-31431 https://aws.amazon.com/security/security-bulletins/rss/2026-026-aws/Google Cloud Agent Identity https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/identity-security/whats-new-in-iam-security-governance-and-runtime-defenseAWS MCP Server is now generally available https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/the-aws-mcp-server-is-now-generally-available/Cross-region disaster recovery for Amazon EKS using AWS Backup https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/containers/cross-region-disaster-recovery-for-amazon-eks-using-aws-backup/Google Ads new data retention policy starting June 1, 2026 https://ads-developers.googleblog.com/2026/05/new-data-retention-policy-for-google.htmlThis week’s On Call Brief https://www.tellerstech.com/on-call-brief/2026-W19/More episodes and show notes https://shipitweekly.fm/
