Abstract: As organizations accelerate cloud app modernization, AI-powered DevOps is one of the most transformative enablers. AI is rapidly reshaping how modern cloud applications are built, deployed, and managed, from automating deployments to intelligent monitoring and self-healing infrastructure.

In this 40-minute session, we will explore:

• The evolving role of AI in DevOps pipelines to accelerate cloud app delivery and infrastructure management.
• AI-driven deployment automation, monitoring, and incident management for modern cloud applications.
• How generative AI models enable code generation, auto-remediation, and intelligent CI/CD pipelines.
• Case studies from cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) showcasing AI-powered DevOps in action.
  

By attending this session, DevOps engineers, cloud architects, and engineering leaders will learn practical methods to infuse AI into their cloud app modernization journey, ensuring faster delivery, higher resilience, and lower operational costs.
