GenAI for DevOps Engineers by Patrick Debois & John Willis
A lot of courses teach genAI from the perspective of a Data Scientist. This specific course is tailored to the traditional developer, DevOps and DevSecOps engineer who wants to learn more on genAI. You don’t need to understand the deep math behind the scenes to make use of it. The best thought leaders to transfer this knowledge to you are in Delft: co-authors of the DevOps Handbook: Patrick Debois & John Willis.

Short summary
We show you how to build genAI applications , explain the engineer practices you need to know and how it’s similar and different from the traditional SDLC: ex. How do you deploy and version these applications ? How do you do testing? What does observability look like?
Our Trainer
Patrick Debois
Generative AI & DevOps Specialist - Humans as Code
Most known for his work in DevOps and DevSecOps , he has been active in the space of genAI for a few years now. With his extensive background he knows the traditional SDLC in depth and can translate the concepts of the genAI domain to familiar concepts of software engineering easily.

As an accomplished author and innovative entrepreneur, John is deeply passionate about exploring and advancing the synergy between Generative AI technologies and the transformative principles of Dr. Edwards Deming.
Why attend?
The space of genAI is moving very fast and there is a lot of noise surrounding it. While people want to learn more about it , they don’t know always know were to begin. And if they try examples and material, it might already be outdated. This can make getting started daunting.
As an engineer this course will:
- overcome your fear of genAI and show that you don’t need to know the deep math
- save you so much time explaining things in a structured way with a live instructor
- have real hands-on code to work with and explore the concepts
- how to apply traditional engineering practices to genAI to make it more robust
- accelerate your genAI startup delivery rigor beyond “it looks good to me” vibes
As an engineering lead I’d want my engineers to take this course:
-
- retain talent and grow them into a new exciting field.
- it’s easier to transform a traditional engineer into a genAI engineer then a data scientist to become an engineer
- speed up the trial and error process internally and get your ideas faster to production
- get engineers excited about this new technology so they can help the business achieve new functionality
