Modern DevOps focuses on automating actions throughout the delivery process. GitHub Copilot Coding Agent and custom agents enable AI to take initiative, not just assist. In this 30-minute session, you'll discover how Agentic DevOps streamlines tasks within GitHub workflows, such as branch creation, code editing, pull requests, build fixes, and issue management.

We’ll also look at how custom agents extend this further. This includes how teams can build agents that understand their own repositories, standards, and delivery pipelines, and use them for things like:

• Investigating failing pipelines and flaky tests
• Consistently apply refactoring or security updates across repositories
• Generate or update documentation and runbooks
• Enforce engineering standards at scale

We'll also discuss agent governance, including capabilities, approval processes, and safe integration of agentic workflows with trust and compliance in mind.

By session’s end, you’ll understand GitHub Copilot agents’ role in modern DevOps, their value, and how to start using them productively.
