With the advent of generative AI tools such as GitHub Copilot, it is now possible to provide interactive support in code and to develop using an organisation's code base. Now, developers are required to cultivate a code base that can enhance collaboration with generative AI.
In this session, we will look back at the history of DevOps, and overview how concepts such as ‘X as Code’ (e.g. IaC, Infrastructure as Code) came about, and how the codification of infrastructure, pipelines, and configuration management has changed the development process. We will also explore the potential of a development culture called GitOps, which makes Git the single source of truth, and discuss technical practices and organisational issues for configuring and operating code bases suitable for the era of generative AI.
