My recorded Conf42 talks and podcast guest appearances on cloud operations, database migrations, AI agent security and DevOps. Recordings are available from the organisers and hosts.
A guest discussion of AWS AI services, token costs, sovereign cloud controls and the effect of agent automation on engineering work.
I discuss typed tools, separate read and execution identities, short-lived credentials and approval controls for AI agents that operate cloud infrastructure.
A practical discussion of backward-compatible database changes, migration checks in CI/CD, rollback limits and the role of AI-assisted review.
An introduction to DevOps collaboration, delivery workflows and the connection between development and operations.
