About this episode

Venkat Thiruvengadam discusses the importance of orchestration in AI for DevOps and how it can enhance security and compliance.

AI won’t save your startup. Unless it can ship changes safely. Venkat Thiruvengadam breaks down why the real value isn’t the model, it’s the orchestration: guardrails, permissions, context, and human-in-the-loop workflows that let agents do more than “read-only.” Tune in for a practical conversation on scaling DevOps, security, and compliance without slowing the business.
