Monday’s AIDLC webinar is now on demand, for everyone whose calendar had other plans.

Two ideas from the session are worth pulling out. First, the line between “AI can do this on its own” and “a human needs to sign off” isn’t fixed. It moves as your knowledge base matures, so the AI earns its independence like everyone else.

Second, without context that persists across sessions, AIDLC turns into one-off prompting with extra steps. The gains only compound when the specs, decisions and boundaries are still there next time.

Dorian, Orhan and Jon Swartz cover both, plus what it means when you have to show your reasoning in a regulated environment.

Most teams adopt AI tooling the same way: plug it in, ask a question, get a confident answer that has nothing to do with how your company actually works.

The model isn’t the problem. It’s missing your context: your architecture decisions, your runbooks, your naming conventions, the reasons behind the odd choices nobody wrote down.

On 24 October at DevOpsDays İstanbul, Baran Gayretli will show what it looks like when AI is grounded in what your organization actually knows, and what that changes across the delivery lifecycle.

If you’re working on this problem, or just struggling with it, find us at the kloia booth afterwards. Bring your hardest example.

Point AI at your codebase or ticket backlog and it will write code quickly. Whether that code fits the rest of your system is a different question. We keep seeing output that is correct on its own and inconsistent as a whole, so someone ends up re-checking all of it.

We think the fix is upstream: a knowledge base of specs, domain boundaries and past decisions that the AI reads before it writes anything.

Dorian and Burak are talking about this with Jon Swartz of Techstrong Group on Monday, October 12th at 11 am ET, including what it means in regulated environments, where you have to explain why the code looks the way it does.

AI is everywhere in software development. Trust in its output isn't. 🤖

In our new article on DevOps.com, Dorian Sezen and Orhan Burak Bozan explain why better prompts won't fix "almost right" AI code, and what will: a structured knowledge base, clear specs, and a verification loop that every AI output passes through.

Inside the article:
🔹 What AIDLC is and why AI adoption stalls after successful pilots
🔹 How a financial institution compressed a 3–6 month discovery cycle into 4 weeks with Kloia and AWS
🔹 The simple verification step that fully eliminated hallucinated identifiers
🔹 How AIDLC cut modernization costs by 90%

🎙️ Webinar: AIDLC: From Knowledge Base to Working Code
📅 October 12 | 11:00 AM ET
🤝 Hosted by Techstrong Group

We'll cover why the knowledge base matters more than the model, how spec-driven development makes AI outputs auditable, where AI can work alone and where humans still sign off, and why context that persists across sessions compounds your gains.

Distributed tracing is great, right up until one service nobody instrumented breaks the whole trace.

We wanted to see how far eBPF could take us here, so we built a lab: a real EKS cluster, four services in four languages (Python, Node.js, Java, .NET), and zero tracing code in any of them. One OpenTelemetry eBPF agent per node, and we got a single trace across all four hops, a live service graph, and trace IDs stamped onto logs the apps were already writing.

Then we ran it for real, and it wasn't all clean:

🔹 Java's default HTTP client lost the trace about 4 times out of 5, because it does its I/O on other threads
🔹 ASP.NET Core lost log enrichment on roughly half its lines (we couldn't fix it, so we wrote it down as a limitation)
🔹 One mismatched time field format quietly dropped a quarter of our logs in OpenSearch

We kept the failures in the post on purpose. Zero-code is a real thing, but "zero testing" isn't, and you should check propagation against the runtimes you actually run before promising anyone end-to-end traces.

The full walkthrough, Terraform repo included (about $0.30/hour to run), is here

What a day at Palace Downtown Dubai! 🙌

Today, kloia and AWS brought together C-level leaders from across the region for Cloud and AI Excellence for Executives 2026, an invite-only forum on getting the most out of cloud investments in the AI era.

Here's what we covered:

🔹 AIDLC in action: Dorian Sezen shared how a Forbes Top 2K company modernized its legacy software with an AI-driven development lifecycle.
🔹 The value of migration & modernization: Ehsan Tashman (AWS) on why modernization is a business decision, not just a technical one.
🔹 Empowered Enterprise with AI: A candid panel with Yati Prabhakar (Emirates NBD) and Dorian Sezen, moderated by Aras Bilgen.
🔹 VMware exit strategies: Bilal Ünal and Shafiq Kalla (AWS) on reducing cost while moving to an AI-ready cloud.

And of course, the Cloud Readiness Challenge – re:Invent Edition, where two lucky participants won passes to AWS re:Invent 2026 in Las Vegas ✈️ Congratulations to our winners!

A big thank you to Burak Koyuncu and Mehmet Çavuş for opening the day, to all our speakers and panelists, to our partners at AWS, and to every executive who joined us for a day of sharp questions and great conversations.

See you at the next one! 🚀

Two weeks until AWS Cloud and AI Day Riyadh.

Someone on the team has already asked if we can bring our own coffee to the booth. The answer is probably no, but we'll find out.

We'll be there on October 21st and would like to meet people before the day gets busy. If you're attending, comment or send us a message and we'll find a time.

Did we mention Kubernetes yet? We have been told we mention it a lot. We're not going to stop.

Also curious: what are you hoping to get out of the day?

Once a year, it's Team Summit time again. A Kloia tradition!

DevOps got its name from a small conference in Belgium in 2009. Seventeen years later it's a job title, a budget line and a lot of slide decks. DevOpsDays İstanbul is on 24 October at Dedeman Bostancı, and we're a gold sponsor. We'll be there.

Our Baran Gayretli is also on the schedule with "Knowledge-Grounded AI-DLC: Giving AI Your Organization's Context." It's about a problem most teams hit quickly: an AI that doesn't know how your organization works gives generic answers. Come to the talk, then come and argue with us about it.
