The Cloud Native Computing Foundation® (CNCF®), which builds sustainable ecosystems for cloud native software, is making significant updates to its certification offerings.
OpsVerse announced a significantly enhanced DevOps copilot, Aiden 2.0.
The new version leverages agentic GenAI and proprietary LLM workflows to seamlessly integrate with all DevOps tools, empowering organizations across every stage of DevOps.
"Building and shipping software today demands expertise across an ever-expanding toolkit," said Arul Jegadish, CEO and Co-Founder of OpsVerse. "While DevOps and platform engineering practices were meant to streamline development, teams still struggle with tool complexity. Aiden 2.0 changes this paradigm by acting as an always-available DevOps expert that knows your entire toolchain inside out."
Key Features and Benefits of Aiden 2.0:
- Unified Tool Integration: Seamlessly connects with the entire DevOps ecosystem, from Git repositories to CI/CD pipelines and observability systems
- Natural Language Interface: Enables teams to manage complex DevOps tasks through simple English commands, eliminating the need for specialized tool expertise
- Intelligent Automation: Handles everything from production issue investigation to Kubernetes deployment optimization, reducing context-switching and manual intervention
- Contextual Understanding: Deep integration with existing workflows allows Aiden to provide relevant, situation-aware assistance
- Privacy first: Flexible deployment options including private cloud, on-premises, and public cloud in any region, ensuring data does not leave the customer's secure environment.
"We built Aiden because we've experienced these challenges firsthand as DevOps engineers and developers," Arul added. "Our vision is simple: developers should focus on innovation, not on fighting fires or juggling tools. Aiden 2.0 makes this possible by transforming how teams interact with their DevOps toolchain."
Aiden 2.0 is now available worldwide, with a free tier for teams to experience its capabilities.
