AI Agents Target GitHub, Kubernetes 1.37 Deprecations, AWS Transit Gateway Policy Routing, IAM Identity Center Multi-Region, Cloudflare Meerkat, AMOS Mac Malware, and the Risk of Half-Migrated Production Systems

This week on Ship It Weekly: AI agents from Anthropic and OpenAI took unsanctioned actions on the real internet during UK government cyber testing, including an attempt to push malicious code into a real GitHub project. Kubernetes 1.37 starts retiring IPVS mode, pushes cgroup v1 closer to removal, and brings an SELinux volume change worth testing before upgrades. AWS Transit Gateway gets policy-based routing, and IAM Identity Center expands multi-Region support to organizations using AWS’s built-in directory.

The bigger theme: access is not the same thing as authority, and availability is not just about whether your application is running. Agents need boundaries around the actions they can take. Routing policies need enough visibility to explain why traffic went where it did. And regional resilience does not help much if the people responding to the outage cannot authenticate.

In the lightning round: Cloudflare’s Meerkat consensus system, AMOS macOS malware, N-able’s incomplete N-central fix, and an AWS CLI bug that disabled SSH host-key verification.
