As AI agents become trusted participants in cloud operations, governance must scale alongside automation. Learn why continuous AI infrastructure governance is essential for secure, compliant deployment.

Self-service deployments help DevOps teams eliminate deployment bottlenecks by embedding security, governance, compliance, and automated controls into every deployment.

Generative AI, as we see it today, is like a junior, overconfident consultant who is eager to please and sounds convincing even when the information isn’t fully correct. An AI Agent, who takes this to the next level, is like this new employee who may end up taking actions on your behalf based on the consultant’s advice. Overzealous actions of untrained or unsupervised new AI Agent with access to sensitive systems can cause harm to the company.

For years, Heroku simplified infrastructure. Push code. Deploy instantly. Scale without worrying about servers, networking, or runtime management. It lowered the barrier to shipping software. It helped define how a generation of developers learned to build. “Git push to deploy” changed how products launched and how engineering teams operated. That model worked for a long time. But the environment around it has changed drastically and exponentially.

AI is revolutionizing how we build, operate, and secure infrastructure. As organizations juggle both AI and traditional workloads across multi-cloud environments, maintaining control, ownership, and accountability becomes increasingly challenging yet crucial. In this conversation, InviGrid CEO Yogita Parulekar shares insights on agentic AI, governance, and the operational realities shaping modern infrastructure.

Artificial intelligence-enhancement of operations, services and data products is the prime topic in corporate strategy sessions, yet the results are sobering.

Security leaders are moving as fast as their budgets and practical organizational considerations allow them to embrace security principles like “secure-by-design”, “zero trust,” and “defense in depth” to strengthen cybersecurity and resilience. Yogesh Badwe, CSO at Druva

The CIO role is no longer confined to managing infrastructure or keeping the lights on. If you’re still defining your job that way, you’re behind. Today’s CIOs are expected to operate as business strategists, risk mitigators, and above all, innovation enablers. From my own conversations with seasoned executives like Becky Wanta, a Global F50+ CIO and CTO with leadership experience at MGM Resorts International, Best Buy, PepsiCo and Wells Fargo, to name a few, one thing is cle

Speaking with Manuel Ramos of the SupplyCast: Voices in the Chain podcast in Lima, Peru, where there are now a growing number of startups and new businesses, many entrepreneurs think that innovation and artificial intelligence are something distant, almost unattainable. But as Yogita points out: “It's not at all unattainable. Today, there are countless open-source models to learn, cloud credits to experiment with, and free online courses. The key is to take the initiative.”

The AI Realized Podcast is for enterprise leaders, AI practitioners, and innovators who are turning ambitious ideas into measurable business outcomes. Drawing inspiration from the annual AI Realized Summit, each episode delivers practical insights from executives and industry experts who are deploying AI at scale.

For all the maturity cloud computing has achieved over the past decade, one painful truth remains: most organizations still struggle to configure cloud environments securely and scalably at the speed business demands.
