AI-Driven Reliability Engineering: Transforming DevOps and SRE Practices for Resilient Cloud Systems
In today's hyper-scale cloud environments, traditional DevOps and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices face unprecedented challenges in maintaining availability, scalability, and resilience amid increasing complexity and dynamic workloads. This keynote explores how Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are revolutionizing reliability engineering by shifting from reactive incident response to proactive, intelligent automation. Drawing on over 10 years of hands-on experience in AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform, and CI/CD pipelines, I will present real-world case studies on implementing AIOps for anomaly detection, predictive maintenance, root cause analysis, and automated remediation. The talk will also highlight hybrid AI approaches, including Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) combined with generative models for innovative system design, and interpretable fuzzy decision support systems (FDSS) for monitoring and early intervention in complex operational data. Attendees will gain actionable insights into key challenges such as alert fatigue reduction, SLO management, chaos engineering with AI, and ethical considerations in autonomous systems. By bridging cutting-edge research with industry practices, this presentation demonstrates how AI empowers SREs to achieve higher reliability, lower MTTR, and sustainable cloud operations-paving the way for the next generation of intelligent infrastructure
