How AI is Driving DevOps

This article discusses how AI is driving the development of DevOps, particularly in how AI technologies are being effectively integrated into DevOps workflows. AI is transitioning from initial excitement to more practical applications, with key areas such as API assistance, infrastructure issue resolution, and enterprise audit generation. AI not only optimizes user experience but also supports task automation and change validation through feedback loops. In the future, AI applications in DevOps will become more refined, focusing on small-scale, task-specific applications rather than broad solutions.
