Is DevOps actually dying — or has it just evolved into something bigger?In this episode of Techie Talks with Kuldeep, the host interviews Mr Lovedeep Sharma, a DevOps & Platform Lead with experience in India, Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Canada, about whether DevOps is still relevant and how it has evolved.Lovedeep explains that DevOps is now a baseline organizational capability that has dissolved into platform engineering, SRE practices, and engineering culture, shifting focus from delivery speed to resilience, reliability, and risk management in complex distributed systems. They discuss what AI will automate in CI/CD, observability, and incident response, while emphasizing that judgment, ownership, and accountability remain human responsibilities. The conversation covers self-healing systems, why fragile systems persist due to misalignment and culture, warning signs like blame culture and unclear ownership, accountability as a process and culture issue, responsible speed, declining value of narrow tool expertise, the importance of fundamentals and best practices, and the need for continuous learning and security in an AI-driven future.Time Stamps:00:00 Introduction00:12 Meet Lovedeep Sharma01:01 DevOps Became Invisible03:01 From Delivery To Resilience04:29 AI Automation In DevOps07:19 Self Healing Systems09:12 Why Systems Still Break11:47 Predicting Outages Early14:05 Accountability And Culture15:56 Move Fast Safely18:19 Skills That Matter Now21:57 Beginner Mindset Traps26:57 Personal Lessons Planning28:57 Uncomfortable Future Truths33:04 Final Takeaways And OutroConnect with Techie Talks with Kuldeep:YouTube Channel: @techietalkswithkuldeep WhatsApp Channel: https://www.whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vb7Q4JHAjPXUt8hBgm2TLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/techietalkswithkuldeepFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574642927780Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/techietalkswithkuldeepLearn more about Lovedeep Sharma Lovedeep Sharma : https://www.linkedin.com/in/lovedeep-sharma-715ba5179/#devops #aiautomation #softwareengineering #techcareers #platformengineering #techietalkswithkuldeep
