87. Escape the Ticket Trap: How AI Agents Are Replacing Manual DevOps

from The Security Podcast of Silicon Valley · host YSecurity

AI won’t save your startup. Unless it can ship changes safely. Venkat Thiruvengadam breaks down why the real value isn’t the model, it’s the orchestration: guardrails, permissions, context, and human-in-the-loop workflows that let agents do more than “read-only.” Tune in for a practical conversation on scaling DevOps, security, and compliance without slowing the business.
