DESCRIPTION:Modern DevOps has moved beyond automation.\nWe’re now buildi
 ng systems that operate with increasing autonomy.\nWith AI‑assisted plat
 forms and intelligent workflows entering the stack\, engineering teams are
  asking their systems to do more than execute tasks. They are asking them 
 to decide.\nBut what happens when those decisions are wrong?\nIn this fast
 -paced Ignite talk\, I’ll share real-world lessons from building and ena
 bling modern automation workflows\, including where autonomy breaks down\,
  how small assumptions cascade into systemic issues\, and why “safe auto
 mation” is more fragile than it appears. Drawing on practical experience
 s with AI-assisted DevOps systems\, this talk highlights the gap between w
 hat automation promises and what production reality delivers.\nThis is not
  a talk about why automation is good or bad.\nIt is about what changes aft
 er it works and why that is where the real engineering challenges begin.\n
 You’ll walk away with:\n\nA new mental model for thinking about automati
 on vs autonomy\nA recognisable pattern behind silent system failures\nA pr
 actical way to design systems that fail visibly\, not invisibly\n\nIf you
 ’ve ever trusted a system because “it usually works\,” this talk wil
 l make you question why.
