GitHub Universe 2025 announced Agent HQ—mission control for orchestrating AI agents from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and more. Azure SRE Agent saved Microsoft 20,000+ engineering hours. But 80% of companies report agents executing unintended actions, and only 44% have agent-specific security policies. Jordan and Alex break down what agentic DevOps actually means, the architectural shift from automation to autonomy, and the tiered adoption framework for deploying agents without creating catastrophic risk.
In this episode:
- GitHub Agent HQ enables multi-agent orchestration (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Cognition) with Enterprise Control Plane for governance
- Copilot coding agent works asynchronously—spins up GitHub Actions env, writes code, pushes to draft PR while you sleep
- Azure SRE Agent saved 20,000+ engineering hours at Microsoft with human-in-the-loop incident response
Perfect for senior platform engineers, sres, devops engineers with 5+ years experience looking to level up their platform engineering skills.
