Closing Keynote

Implementing Modern DevOps at Scale

GenAI is the bright shiny object that everyone is focused on in some capacity. And much of our event today is tailored around how AI can be utilized to reduce developer toil. But for this session, we’re going to flip things around and discuss how we can use DevOps to deliver GenAI.

Join the “Father of DevOps” Patrick Dubois and Harness CEO Jyoti Bansal in this intimate conversation about the transformational journey organizations are on delivering GenAI apps. They will explore the business considerations organizations need to make, specifically around cost, privacy, legal, and organizational structure.

They will also take a deep dive into the tools landscape and share thoughts around what organizations need for development, testing, operations, and observability. The session will close with both reflecting on the implications of GenAI and its significance in the ever-evolving landscape of technology.
