AI is moving fast. Regulation is catching up.
In this episode of the DevOps Sauna, Pinja and Stefan are joined by Nora Fosse from Eficode to break down what AI governance really means in 2026.
With the EU AI Act coming into force and fines up to 7% of annual turnover, governance is no longer optional. But is it a brake on innovation or the engine that enables scale?
They explore the four pillars of AI governance and why, in the age of autonomous agents, hope is not a strategy.

AI is everywhere, but the real cost often stays hidden.
In this episode of DevOps Sauna, Pinja and Stefan dive into AI FinOps and explore why GPUs are expensive and why so much AI infrastructure ends up underutilized. They unpack hidden costs like idle hardware, power consumption, networking, and data movement, and explain why traditional Cloud FinOps doesn’t fully apply to AI workloads.
They also discuss how Kubernetes and Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA) can help improve GPU utilization, and why visibility, ownership, and organizational maturity matter just as much as tooling.

Internal developer platforms are no longer just technical tooling. In this episode, Pinja and Stefan explore why your internal developer platform should be treated like a customer-facing product.
They discuss user-centric platform design, adoption and shadow platforms, lifecycle management, roadmapping, and continuous improvement. From developer experience and security to cost visibility and business alignment, this episode breaks down what it really means to build and run an IDP that people actually want to use.
If you’re building a platform, build it like you mean it.

In this episode of DevOps Sauna, Pinja and Stefan unpack what a good incident response actually looks like, from the moment an issue is discovered to recovery, communication, and learning afterward.
They dive into real-world incident management practices: defining incident severity, assigning the right roles, running mock incidents, validating backups, and communicating clearly without panic. The conversation also tackles one of the hardest topics in engineering culture: blameless postmortems and psychological safety.
If you care about DevOps, security, platform engineering, or building resilient teams that learn from failure rather than hide it, this episode is for you.
