GDG Cloud Southlake #52: Kyle Forster: Building Your Own AI SRE

AI SREs have been called "one of the top 5 uses for AI in Engineering."  Used for both developer self-service and incident response, good AI SREs plug into your apps, data, infrastructure and workflows.  They help anyone on the team investigate any part of the tech stack, and automate repetitive operations.  Want to build one yourself?  RunWhen provides a platform to help you build and customize your own AI SREs using the industry's largest library of agentic AI tools to get you going.

Kyle Forster has spent his career on the leading edge of cloud infrastructure. He is currently the founder of RunWhen, a company pioneering the use of AI to automate workflows across Platform Engineering, DevOps and SRE. Kyle was previously the Sr Director for Kubernetes Advances Services at Google Cloud. He spent his earlier career in networking as the founder of Big Switch Networks (acquired by Arista) after starting his career at Cisco. Kyle holds an MS and MBA from Stanford University, an BSC in Electrical Engineering from Princeton University, and is the author of seven patents in Software Defined Networking, Wireless LAN and Cellular Networks.
