When I first set out to build a deployment pipeline for my test and demo environments, I had no prior knowledge of Terraform or Ansible. Honestly, I didn’t even know where to start. But with GitHub Copilot by my side, I was able to build infrastructure code, create configuration playbooks, and set up a working pipeline.
In this session, I’ll share my personal journey; the challenges I faced as a complete beginner, how Copilot’s suggestions helped me overcome roadblocks, and the lessons I learned about trusting (and verifying) AI-generated code. You’ll see how Copilot can act as a peer programmer, accelerating your learning curve and helping you build real-world automation even if you’re starting from scratch.
Expect honest reflections, and practical takeaways you can apply immediately; whether you’re new to DevOps or just curious about how AI can help you learn faster.
