Christie Marsh hosts a panel with Sanjay Nivargikar, Saravanan Jothi, Navita Sharma, and Teja Amerineni to discuss the governance requirements of the agentic era. The leaders argue that autonomous AI agents must be treated as code rather than simple configurations, requiring strict version control, isolated testing, and audit trails via Copado. They detail how testing strategies must evolve from proving software works to proving it cannot go wrong, often using AI to test other AI. The panel highlights how integrated guardrails transform DevOps from a cost center into a strategic innovation engine, ensuring that data quality and compliance hub policies prevent the chaotic loss of enterprise trust.
