PRO WORKSHOP (CloudX): Optimizing CI/CD for Hybrid and Cloud Environments with DevOps and AI

Wednesday September 3, 2025 2:00pm - 2:50pm PDT

Kellyn Gorman, Redgate, Advocate and Engineer

As AI becomes increasingly integrated into software development, optimizing CI/CD pipelines for hybrid and cloud environments requires a balance between automation, security, and governance. This session explores how to leverage DevOps best practices and tools to build scalable, secure, and AI-enhanced CI/CD solutions that support the entire development lifecycle—from code commit to production deployment.

We’ll cover key DevOps principles, recommended tools for automation, testing, and deployment, as well as strategies for integrating AI-driven capabilities to enhance efficiency, detect anomalies, and improve decision-making. Additionally, we’ll discuss how to mitigate AI-related vulnerabilities in the DevOps pipeline, ensuring model integrity, data security, and compliance. Attendees will learn how to implement GitOps, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and progressive delivery techniques while maintaining control over AI-powered automation. Whether you're incorporating AI into your CI/CD workflows or securing an existing pipeline, this session will provide actionable insights to streamline development while minimizing risks.

PRO Session (API): "Network Observability" Overlooked, Underappreciated, More Important than Ever

Thursday September 4, 2025 1:30pm - 1:55pm PDT

API World -- Workshop Stage A (PRO)

Leon Adato, Catchpoint, Developer Relations Advocate

Remember the network? Long before "infrastructure as code", container orchestration, cluster management, or death by 1,000 clicks in some labyrinthine cloud configuration console, the network was an essential layer (or 3) of IT operations.

This may cause some to call for their fainting couch, but I never the less must inform you that the network never went away, became irrelevant, or was simplified to the point where it didn't matter.

The network - good old route and switch, packets and bits (and more importantly flow) networking - is alive and kicking and more important than ever to those of us who care about the performance and availability of our applications.

More to the point, not only is the network the metaphorical plumbing through which all your precious non-metaphorical observability and monitoring data flows; it holds secrets you'll never find in the traces, events, metrics, and logs of typical application observability solutions.

In this talk I'll reveal the observability secrets hiding in plain sight within your network; suggest ways to access that information; and highlight the insights and value you're missing if that data remains invisible, unused, or ignored.
