Harnessing the Machine: DevOps in the Age of Agentic AI

Approved

Session Description

DevOps automation used to mean scripts doing exactly what you told them. Agentic AI changes that agents plan, choose tools, and act on their own judgment, then adapt to what happens. That's real upside for CI/CD and incident response, and a real expansion of blast radius most teams haven't scoped yet.

Key Takeaways

Agentic AI doesn't just automate DevOps, it introduces judgment into infrastructure. The teams that win won't be the ones who adopt it fastest, but the ones who scope its blast radius before they do.
