Agentic DevOps
Agentic DevOps
Podcast Description
Where LLMs, AI Agents, and MCP tools meet DevOps. How can we humans use non-deterministic, often hallucinating LLMs to automate our infrastructure and help us with the job of software lifecycle management? I’m Bret Fisher, and this is the Agentic DevOps podcast. After the invention of AI Agents and the MCP standard in late 2024, I started this podcast in early '25 with a narrow topic focus… to document and advise how AI Agents, MCP tools, and large language models can be used in the real world for assisting with DevOps automation, platform engineering, and day to day systems operations… a podcast series hopefully without the hand-wavy AI hype or dreams of a pure AI workforce. I'm joined by my co-host, Nirmal Metha, and expert guests trying to make use of crazy texting robots.

In this episode, I walk though some of my favorite new AI tools and content.
🙌 My next course is coming soon! I’ve opened the waitlist for those wanting to go deep in GitHub Actions for DevOps and AI automation in 2025. I’m so thrilled to announce this course. The waitlist allows you to quickly sign up for some content updates, discounts, and more as I finish building the course.
