Effectively building AI agents on AWS Serverless

AWS just dropped support for buildingserverless agentic AI systems. You’ll need the Strands Agents SDK, Bedrock AgentCore (preview), plus trusty tools like Lambda and ECS. What’s new? Agentic AI flips the script. Instead of dumb prompt-in, response-out bots, you getgoal-driven loopswith memory, too.. read more

Combining GenAI & Agentic AI to build scalable, autonomous systems

Agentic AI doesn’t just crank out content—it takes the wheel. Where GenAI reacts, Agentic AI plans, perceives, and acts. Think less autocomplete, more autonomous ops. Hook them together, and you get a full-stack brain: content creation, real-time decisions, adaptive workflows, all learning as they .. read more

Some thoughts on LLMs and Software Development

Most LLMs still play autocomplete sidekick. But seasoned devs? They get better results when the model reads and rewrites actual source files. That gap—between how LLMs are designed to work and how prosactuallyuse them—messes with survey data and muddies the picture on real gains in code quality and.. read more

Introducing AWS Cloud Control API MCP Server: Natural Language Infrastructure Management on AWS

AWS dropped theCloud Control API MCP Server, a mouthful of a name for a tool that makes 1,200+ AWS resources manageable through a standard CRUDL API—using natural language. Think: describe what you want, and tools like Amazon Q Developer turn it into actual infra code. It doesn’t stop there. It val.. read more

Availability Models: Because “Highly Available” Isn’t Saying Much

Antithesis and Jepsen want to kill hand-wavy "high availability" talk. Instead, they push for clearavailability models—majority,total,sticky, etc.—that spell out when an operationactuallyworks during failures. It's about precision, not platitudes. Why it matters:This reframes availability from a va.. read more

Observability in Go: What Real Engineers Are Saying in 2025

Go observability still feels like pulling teeth. Manual instrumentation? Tedious. Span coverage? Spotty. Telemetry volume? Totally out of hand. Even with OpenTelemetry gaining traction, Go lags behind Java and Python when it comes to auto-instrumentation and clean context propagation. Devs are hunt.. read more

ECScape: Understanding IAM Privilege Boundaries in Amazon ECS

A new ECS security mess—ECScape—lets low-privileged tasks on EC2 act like the ECS agent. That’s bad. Real bad. Why? Because it opens the door to stealing IAM credentials from other ECS tasks sharing the same host. Here’s the trick: The attacker hits the instance metadata service (IMDS) and fakes a .. read more

DevOpsDayLA is Southern California's premier conference focused on the human side of technology delivery. For 15 years, we've brought together SoCal practitioners who understand that great software isn't just about tools, it's about people working together effectively.

The 2026 Lens: DevOps in an AI World: You're working in a world where AI is everywhere, embedded in your tools, requested by your management, and reshaping how teams deliver software. Whether you're embracing these changes or navigating the challenges they create, your experience matters.

We're looking for stories about how you and your organizations are adapting your mindsets, processes, and team dynamics in this rapidly evolving landscape. How did your team integrate AI into existing workflows? What changed about collaboration when AI entered the picture? Where do humans remain critical in automated processes? How do you build the next generation of engineers when entry-level work is automated? What are the real implementation challenges you're facing in Southern California's entertainment, gaming, aerospace, retail, healthcare, and manufacturing companies?

What makes DevOpsDayLA different: We focus on culture, collaboration, and cross-industry implementation stories rather than pure technical deep-dives. We're all about the people and processes that make technology successful in an AI world, not the technology itself.

We especially welcome new speakers, under-represented voices, and fresh perspectives from across SoCal's diverse tech landscape.
