AI’s entry into DevOps began with CHOP (Chat-Oriented Programming), offering conversational tools to assist developers. However, the rise of the agentic approach—autonomous, task-driven agents—has fundamentally transformed how software is developed, tested, and delivered. This talk explores how AI agents are reshaping the Software Development Lifecycle and empowering DevOps teams to achieve greater efficiency and innovation.

We’ll cover practical use cases, including integrating testing agents into the development process to catch issues early, leveraging deployment agents to automate and optimize delivery pipelines, and using AI driven observability to gain real-time insights. Attendees will learn actionable strategies for incorporating these agents into their workflows.
