This session is designed for both beginners and practitioners. You’ll walk away with practical patterns for: • workflow design • context management • infrastructure changes • reducing unstructured “vibe coding” • building more reliable AI-assisted engineering workflows Honestly, not using agentic tooling in DevOps today is starting to feel a bit like refusing to use the internet in 2003. This isn’t about hype. It’s about leverage. And it’s an incredible time to be a builder — especially if you build with agents. 🍕 Come by at 5:30 PM for pizza and chats. 🎤 Presentation starts at 6:00 PM. **Volunteers / Sponsors / Speakers:** [KSUG.AI](https://ksug.ai/?ref=meetup) is actively seeking speakers & sponsors to support our KubeSmart & AI community.

LLM chat was the warm-up. Ask a question. Copy. Paste. Tweak. Useful — but capped. The real shift is agentic DevOps workflows using tools like Claude Code and the OpenAI Codex App — systems that can reason across repositories, plan multi-step changes, modify infrastructure, and operate closer to how real engineers build. This session is both 101 and 201. If you’re new to agentic tooling, you’ll understand what’s fundamentally different from chat-based usage. If you’re already experimenting, you’ll leave with practical agentic patterns for workflow design, context control, infrastructure changes, and avoiding unstructured vibe coding. Not using agentic tooling in DevOps today is starting to feel like refusing to use the internet in 2003. This isn’t about hype. It’s about leverage. It’s a great time to be a builder — if you build with agents. *Come at 5:30 pm have some pizza and chat for a bit. The presentation starts at 6:00 pm.*
