AI-Driven DevOps: How LLMs and Agents Are Changing Software Delivery by Kedar Kulkarni

Kedar Kulkarni explores how LLMs and AI agents are reshaping software delivery and DevOps practices in real engineering environments. In this talk, Kedar walks through how AI-driven tools are changing the way teams build, test, and deploy software, sharing concrete examples of what works, what does not, and where the sharp edges still are. This is a practical look at bringing AI agents into your development workflow without losing control. If you are working with DevOps, platform engineering, or cloud native delivery pipelines, this talk offers a grounded perspective on what AI agents mean for your day to day. Recorded live at Kubernetes Community Days Texas on May 15, 2026, at the TCEA Conference Center in Austin, Texas.
