AI for DevOps: A Full-Day Hands-On Workshop
Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming how DevOps teams build, monitor, secure, and operate systems. From automating incident response to summarizing CI failures and detecting misconfigurations in infrastructure code, AI is becoming a powerful co-pilot across the DevOps lifecycle.
In this full-day workshop, you'll gain a practical foundation in using AI tools and techniques to streamline DevOps workflows. Through guided labs, we'll look at how to use agents and AI to summarize logs, diagnose CI/CD pipeline failures, analyze Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), and triage security vulnerabilities — using modern LLMs and frameworks like LangChain, ChromaDB, and FastMCP.
You’ll learn how to:
- Use LLMs to summarize logs and detect incident patterns
- Work with AI agents to help troubleshoot CI/CD pipeline failures
- Analyze IaC for errors, insecure configurations, or misaligned best practices
- Evaluate which DevOps tasks are best suited for AI augmentation
