Mike Vizard details how Qovery’s new AI agents, including the DevOps Copilot suite, help automate and optimize DevOps workflows, aiming to minimize manual effort for teams.

Qovery Introduces AI Agents to Enhance DevOps Automation

Qovery has released multiple artificial intelligence (AI) agents as a major update to its DevOps automation platform. These AI agents, known as the AI DevOps Copilot family, are designed to:

  • Respond to natural language prompts
  • Execute complex DevOps operations
  • Anticipate next steps within workflows

Features and Capabilities

Automated Core DevOps Tasks

  • Provisioning and Managing Environments: Automates creation and clean-up of environments.
  • CI/CD Pipeline Optimization: Identifies and improves pipeline efficiency, reducing redundancy and brittleness.
  • Process Observation: Monitors ongoing operations for potential issues or inefficiencies.
  • DevSecOps Governance: Helps enforce security policies across workflows.
  • FinOps Integration: Recommends financial best practices to optimize infrastructure costs.

Intelligent Operations

  • AI agents are trained on data from over 25 million applications and 30 million infrastructure actions.
  • The platform uses the Claude large language models (LLMs) by Anthropic, with planned support for additional models.

Role-Based Approvals and Data Protection

  • Critical actions, such as deleting databases, require explicit role-based permission.
  • Private credentials are not shared with AI models, maintaining security standards.

Automation Examples

  • Automatically shutting down unused environments.
  • Scheduling deployments or integration tests based on system stability.

Platform Flexibility

  • Supports a wide array of tools, giving organizations the freedom to use preferred technologies without vendor lock-in.

Industry Context & Adoption

  • Many teams still spend time on low-level maintenance—Qovery aims to reduce manual effort via intelligent automation and platform engineering.
  • As AI coding tools become more common, DevOps teams face pressure to modernize workflows and manage increasing code volume.

Limitations

  • Full automation of all tasks isn’t yet possible, and adoption rates vary across organizations. Challenges such as pipeline maintenance and reuse remain areas for further improvement.
