Tech talk: Practical AI: Within SRE, Delivery and Cloud Engineering
Speaker: Joel Vasallo (TAG - The Aspen Group, GDE)
Abstract: While AI conversations often center on data science and machine learning teams, the reality is that SRE, delivery, and cloud engineering teams are sitting on a goldmine of opportunities to leverage AI in their daily workflows—no ML expertise required. This talk bridges the gap between AI hype and practical implementation, demonstrating how infrastructure and operations teams can harness AI tools today to eliminate toil, accelerate incident response, and optimize cloud operations.
