DevOps for AI: From Code to Production, Faster and Smarter
AI is changing not just what we build, but how we build, test, deploy, and operate software. This session looks at what DevOps looks like in the age of AI: from AI assisted development and automated testing to CI/CD, observability, and deploying AI powered applications in production.
We will cover practical patterns for using Generative AI and open source tools to speed up delivery pipelines, catch issues earlier, and reduce manual toil, along with the tradeoffs that come with AI native systems: security, cost, reliability, evaluation, and keeping humans in the loop.
Whether you are a developer, DevOps engineer, or platform engineer, you will leave with concrete ideas you can apply to your own pipeline this week.
