When 41% of your codebase is AI-generated and your enclave can't reach cloud testing tools, in-enclave reliability becomes mandatory. A POV for healthcare CTOs.
Your CMDB Is a Snapshot. Your System Graph Should Be a Heartbeat.
A CMDB is a snapshot taken on a schedule. Your validation should run on a live system graph. Why static config models make teams over-test stable code and under-test what moves.
