London Tech Execs #14 - Building Agents for Cloud Infrastructure and Ops

Most enterprise engineering leaders spend 40-70% of their budget "keeping the lights on" rather than developing new capabilities.  Think L1 production support, alert triage, routine infrastructure maintenance.  

AI Coding tools are changing the math of software delivery. Developers are building 10-50% more code per month, but they are causing 10-50% more production incidents per month along with more escalations, more infrastructure changes, more roll-outs and roll-backs...  However, Infrastructure and Operations teams are not getting 10-50% more headcount.

We are seeing early teams capturing personal productivity wins. Maturing teams, however, are building agents with so much context and automation that any engineer on any team can progress any issue anywhere in their tech stack.

We'll talk:

• Replacing rotting runbooks with agents for L1 teams

• Agents for developer self service in dev, test and production

• Measuring the ROI of infrastructure agents (read: count escalations vs MTTR)

• Building agents that have production access safely - investing in layers that are durable vs those that are not
