Agentic AI has become well-known in the world of hybrid cloud operations. Cloud, DevOps, Platform, and Site Reliability engineers are either currently utilizing it or plan to do so in the near future. A common question is the steepness of the learning curve for incorporating it into your utility belt. In this session, I will introduce Agentic AI and the widely adopted integration framework, the Model Context Protocol (MCP). I will also share my experience building my first MCP server, which integrates Generative AI (referred to as the brain for modern operations) with MCP tools for HashiCorp Vault Server. A secrets management platform plays a crucial role in securing modern workloads.
