DevOpsDays Barcelona 2026

JOSE JULIAN ARIZA V.

I am a Cloud Architect and DevSecOps specialist with more than 20 years of experience in software development, cloud architecture, platform engineering, automation, and large-scale digital operations.

Throughout my career, I have worked in complex international environments supporting global companies and business-critical platforms, helping teams design, modernise, and operate distributed systems across cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, CI/CD, GitOps, observability, security, and reliability engineering.

A major part of my current work focuses on the practical integration of artificial intelligence into software delivery and operations. I design and evaluate AI-assisted workflows, agentic systems, and operational agents capable of gathering context from multiple platforms, using tools, analysing intermediate results, refining hypotheses, and supporting engineers during incident investigation and technical decision-making.

My interest in agentic AI goes beyond conversational assistants. I focus on the architecture required to make these systems useful in enterprise environments: tool orchestration, context management, access boundaries, validation, auditability, stopping conditions, human oversight, and the balance between autonomous reasoning and deterministic automation.

I am also a qualified teacher with more than 15 years of training experience. I have delivered technical education for companies and professional teams, as well as meetups, webinars, workshops, and sessions at venues including Google Campus Madrid.

My goal as a speaker is to turn complex technical subjects into clear, practical lessons grounded in real production experience, including not only what worked, but also the limitations, failed approaches, and engineering decisions behind the final result.

De los dashboards a las decisiones: integración de IA en operaciones DevOps a gran escala
JOSE JULIAN ARIZA V.

Los equipos DevOps modernos no carecen de datos; carecen de contexto operacional unificado.

Esta charla comparte nuestra experiencia introduciendo AI-assisted incident investigations en un entorno global de e-commerce. Exploraremos cómo la IA puede correlacionar información de Kubernetes, AWS, Argo CD, plataformas de observabilidad, repositorios e historial de deployments para ayudar a tomar decisiones más rápidas y mejor fundamentadas.

También abordaremos los safeguards esenciales: read-only access, validation, auditability, stopping conditions y human oversight, incluyendo qué funcionó, qué falló y qué tareas operacionales deberían seguir siendo determinísticas.
