AI-SRE & AI-Ops Workshop | Hyderabad

A capped, candid room for people running AI in production, or about to be.

Twenty-four senior SRE, platform and cloud ops practitioners. One Friday in Hyderabad. Four hours, no slides, no panel theatre. You operate the thing, you don't watch a demo of it. Walk out with the architecture, the cost numbers and the playbooks that take teams months of trial and error to learn alone.

Who this is for

You run infrastructure for a living and you're somewhere on the road to agentic AI in production: evaluating it, piloting it, or already on call for it. Expect SREs, platform engineers, DevOps and cloud ops leads in the room.

If you're not hands-on with production systems, this isn't your room. That's what the cap is for.

The six questions we'll answer

1. Buy vs build. Should I buy an AI SRE platform or build my own, and is there a shorter path to my own agents?
2. The operating brain. Memory, context, routing, harness: what actually matters in an agentic stack?
3. Runbooks to agents. How do I automate day-to-day SRE work instead of writing more docs?
4. Upgrades without breakage. How do I handle model versions safely in prod?
5. Lowest-cost agentic ops. How do I run this without runaway token spend?
6. Hallucinations at scale. How do I actually stop them when agents touch production?

• A K8s seat with your name on it
• Memory on and off, live, so you can watch the answer change
• Four models benched side by side
• You red-team the agent yourself
• House rule: anything the panel claims, you can check from your own seat within five minutes.

What you walk away with

• A build vs buy decision framework you can defend to your leadership
• A reference architecture for agentic AI SRE, drawn live on the whiteboard
• Real cost benchmarks and a playbook to stop runaway token spend
• An upgrade checklist for model versions that don't break prod
• Hallucination mitigation patterns from real production failures
• 23 senior peers from Hyderabad's MNCs and startups, on first-name terms

House rules

24 seats, maximum 2 people per company, so no single org owns the conversation. No slides. Build vs buy debated honestly by people who've shipped both.

The fee

₹500, lunch and chai included. It's notional. People who pay turn up.
