Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) into DevOps practices is revolutionizing software deployment and maintenance, paving the way for more efficient, reliable, and scalable systems. Traditional DevOps, characterized by continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD), often struggles with scalability, error-prone processes, and the need for constant human oversight. AI-driven DevOps introduces intelligent automation, enabling predictive analytics, anomaly detection, and self-healing infrastructure. By leveraging AI/ML, organizations can predict deployment outcomes, identify potential issues in real time, and automatically rectify them, reducing downtime and enhancing overall system performance. This paper explores the current state of DevOps, highlighting its limitations and the transformative potential of AI/ML integration. We discuss key AI/ML use cases in DevOps, such as automated code quality analysis, predictive analytics for deployment, and self-healing systems. Additionally, we examine the tools and technologies that facilitate AI-driven DevOps, including ML frameworks like TensorFlow and observability platforms like Datadog. Despite its potential, AI-driven DevOps faces challenges, including data quality, integration complexity, and ethical considerations. The paper also looks into the future of AI in DevOps, envisioning a fully autonomous deployment and maintenance ecosystem. By addressing current challenges and embracing AI/ML technologies, organizations can significantly improve their DevOps processes, leading to faster, more reliable software delivery.
