PowerShell + DevOps Global Summit 2026

As artificial intelligence reshapes software delivery, DevOps will not just survive, it will thrive. This keynote explores why, in an AI-powered era, skilled DevOps professionals become even more indispensable in building, guiding, and validating Infrastructure as Code (IaC), CI/CD pipelines, and orchestration at enterprise scale.AI now enables generative IaC templates and intelligent automation, accelerating infrastructure provisioning, flagging anomalies, and suggesting optimized workflows. Generative AI tools can draft Terraform or CloudFormation scripts, enforce policy compliance, and detect drift, which significantly reduces toil and manual errors. AIOps platforms supplement this with real-time monitoring, anomaly detection, and auto remediation that enhance operational reliability.Yet AI lacks the advanced reasoning and contextual awareness required for orchestrating complex, multi-environment systems. Skilled professionals remain essential to define guardrails, validate AI-generated outputs, manage edge-case failures, and maintain architectural resilience. Rather than replacing DevOps roles, AI magnifies their impact. It turns practitioners into orchestrators of human-AI collaboration, including prompting systems, reviewing configurations, and making strategic decisions. Join Kellyn as we explore a future where AI amplifies the DevOps craft vs. replacing it and learn how to empower skilled engineers to steer intelligent, reliable, and secure software delivery at unprecedented scale.
