Your Infrastructure Just Got Smarter: AI Agents in the DevOps Loop
🎥 Recorded live at the MLOps World | GenAI Summit 2025 — Austin, TX (October 8, 2025) Session Title: Your Infrastructure Just Got Smarter: AI Agents in the DevOps Loop Speaker: Kishan Rao, Engineering Manager, Delivery and Automation Platform, Okta Talk Track: AI Agents for Developer Productivity Abstract: Modern infrastructure is more complex and dynamic than ever—yet most engineering teams still rely on manual processes and tribal knowledge to navigate it. In this session, Kishan Rao explores how AI agents are becoming active participants in the DevOps loop, transforming how teams operate by interpreting infrastructure-as-code, understanding system context, and guiding developers through their environments. Kishan dives into AI-native workflows emerging across the DevOps lifecycle—from documentation generation and config reasoning to incident triage and deployment planning. Drawing from real-world experience in platform engineering, he shares implementation patterns for designing agents that interact seamlessly with code, tools, and teams. What you’ll learn: • How to embed AI agents directly into your DevOps stack • Key trade-offs of local vs. cloud-based LLMs for infrastructure tasks • Patterns for integrating AI into CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and deployment planning • Why “AI at scale” isn’t hard—but requires clarity on your desired outcomes.
