In the 7th episode of the AI x DevOps podcast, host Rohit Raveendran sits down with Dr. Rahul Vilas Ghodke, SVP & Business Unit Leader – Global Technology Operations (APAC) at CGI, to explore what it really takes to move from AI assistants to AI coworkers in enterprise operations.
Key topics covered:
• Agentic Operations at Scale: Why successful AI-driven operations require decades of automation maturity before agents can be trusted with critical workflows.
• Classic AI vs Generative AI: Understanding when machine learning and deterministic systems deliver better outcomes than LLMs.
• Human-on-the-Loop Operations: How enterprises are balancing automation and oversight for critical infrastructure and business applications.
• Making Tribal Knowledge Discoverable: The role of knowledge governance, prompt catalogs, and curated repositories in improving agent effectiveness.

What is AI x DevOps by Facets.cloud?
Engineering teams are under pressure to move faster, do more with less, and stay ahead of an increasingly complex stack. AI is becoming a key piece of that equation — not just as a tool, but as a shift in how DevOps is done.
At Facets.cloud, we’re building infrastructure orchestration for the AI era. And with AI x DevOps Podcast, we’re creating the space for honest, technical, forward-looking conversations about that shift - from early experiments to long-term visions.
This podcast is about sharing what’s real: what’s working, what’s not, and what’s next. Whether you’re building internal copilots, streamlining CI/CD with AI, or rethinking developer experience — we want to learn from your story.
