Stop telling freshers AI can't do DevOps. It can. Learn it anyways and here's WHY!

DevOps is Dead, Cloud is Dead, Webdev , DSA everything is Dead and everything is being by AI! Is that just a hook or there's some reality to it? in my opinion, there is no black and white in this, there's good, there's bad and there's ugly. it doesn't matter what i feel or think, we need to focus on all the aspects based on the data we have and not on the personal opinions. so this is my attempt to answer the most requested question, the impact of AI on cloud and devops. do we still need to learn if everything is done by AI? does companies still hire for these positions? and all the questions you might have related to the AI-fear have been answered in this 8 minute video. I did the reseach based on a few outages, a few breakthrough and added my 2 cents to it to give my perspective of AI's impact on cloud and devops. hope everyone likes it Stop letting people tell you AI can't do DevOps. It can. It writes the Terraform, builds the CI/CD pipelines, and generates Kubernetes YAML faster than any human. But here is the part everyone is missing: AI creates the code, but humans carry the responsibility. In this video, I break down why the "Junior Ticket-Closer" era is officially over, what Google's 75% AI-generated code statistic actually means, and why Cloud & DevOps remains one of the safest careers you can choose if you adapt now.
