AI Agents In Production Infrastructure: What The Industry Learned The Hard Way

About this session

AI agents are already writing Terraform, triaging incidents, and modifying Kubernetes configs in production and most teams are learning the hard way what goes wrong. In this talk, I'll share real failures from deploying Claude-based agentic systems across IaC and SRE workflows, including terraform apply disasters, runbook hallucinations, and CI/CD context overflow. I'll walk through the prompt engineering patterns, agentic loop architectures, and production guardrails that actually held up under real infrastructure load. Attendees will leave with a concrete model selection framework, a security and governance checklist for autonomous agents, and three live scenario walkthroughs, EKS auto-remediation and SLO dashboard generation.
