Aflevering 148: From Docker Skills to Decision Skills: How AI Agents Are Changing the DevOps Job

Recorded live at DevOpsCon Amsterdam, this episode has Ronald and Jan talking to Christian Kehl, Teamlead Platform Marketing & Product at entwickler.de / devmio (Software & Support Media). Devmio organizes DevOpsCon and around 30 other conferences a year. Christian explains why the company is now expanding into the Netherlands, and teases more Dutch conferences next year.

The main topic is Devmio’s “360” approach to learning. Sessions are recorded, slides are cut and synced automatically, and everything is online about 30 minutes after a talk. Attendees can then query the content with “Dev Intelligence”, an AI assistant built on RAG. Christian explains how they keep hallucinations down by using semantic chunking, citing sources, and keeping the LLM “as stupid as possible”. They also run it on their own EU infrastructure for data privacy, and they don’t train models on user data.

In the crystal-ball question, Christian argues that the job is shifting from building things to making the right decisions about what agents should build. That makes trusted knowledge and human-to-human exchange more important than ever.

A note on GDPR and Azure (follow-up to the discussion in this episode): Devmio runs its LLM (GPT-4.1) on Azure within the EU. EU hosting through Microsoft’s EU Data Boundary / EU Data Zone covers data residency. Because Microsoft is a US company, organisations should still assess GDPR transfer risks (including the US CLOUD Act) and check whether any optional features send data outside the EU. We recommend reviewing this with your own Security/DPO team.
