TEL AVIV, Israel and SAN FRANCISCO, April 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Komodor, the autonomous AI SRE company, today announced it will host AI SRE Summit 2026, a free live virtual event on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, bringing together site reliability, platform engineering and cloud-native leaders to discuss how AI is changing production operations, and where it is already delivering real results.
The online summit is purpose-built for SREs, platform engineers, DevOps teams, and engineering leaders who want practical insight into applying AI to cloud-native operations safely and effectively. Sessions will focus on real-world lessons, not hype, including how AI can meaningfully reduce manual effort and accelerate MTTR, where human judgment still matters, and what organizations need to trust AI-driven operational decisions in production.
Speakers will include leaders from AWS, Duckbill, Expanso, Honeycomb, Man Group, Salesforce, Smarsh, Upbound, and more.
What: AI SRE Summit 2026
When: Tuesday, May 12, 2026, 9:00 a.m. EST / 3:00 p.m. CET
Where: Live online
How: Reserve your spot at https://hubs.li/Q04clb6q0
The agenda will address major issues shaping the next phase of cloud-native operations, including:
- AI in SRE: Hype vs. Reality in 2026: A panel featuring Stefana Muller, VP of Infrastructure and Operations at Salesforce; Charity Majors, CTO and Co-founder of Honeycomb, Itiel Shwartz, CTO and Co-founder of Komodor; and Sharone Zitzman, DevRel at RTFM Please, on where AI is creating measurable value in incident response, root cause analysis and remediation, including where it still falls short.
- Your AI Doesn’t Know What Things Cost: Corey Quinn, Chief Cloud Economist at Duckbill, will examine the connection between AI spending, reliability and the operational realities of scaling AI systems in production.
- You Can’t AI Your Way Out of a Broken Platform: Brittany Woods, Head of Systems Engineering at Man Group, will explore why layering AI on top of fragmented internal platforms can increase complexity and operational burden instead of reducing it.
- How To Build Your Own AI Agent: Viktor Farcic, DevRel at Upbound.
- The Sanity Check: Observability for AI Data Pipelines: David Aronchick, CEO of Expanso.
- Context Engineering for Self-Healing AI SRE: Asaf Savich, AI Engineering Group Manager at Komodor.
- Do We Still Need to “Observe”? The Future of AI & Observability: Guy Menahem, Solutions Architect at AWS.
- Stop Treating AI SRE as JUST an Engineering Problem: Blake Sherwood, Technology & Product Executive at Smarsh.
- If AI Writes the Code, Who Owns Production? The Coming Shift to AI-drive SRE: Alan Shimel, CEO at Techstrong Group.
- Your AI Agent Has No SRO: Andrew Espira, Founding Engineer and Cofounder at Kustode.
- The Cat and Mouse Game of Infra Cost vs. Latency: Parakh Jaggi, Senior Infrastructure Engineer at Tavily (now Nebius).
The summit comes as engineering teams face mounting pressure to manage increasingly complex cloud-native systems, massive telemetry volumes, and faster release cycles without adding headcount. The AI SRE Summit will provide attendees a grounded view of how AI SRE is evolving in practice, covering automation, guardrails, reliability ownership and the realities of running AI-assisted operations at scale.
Who Should Attend:
SREs, platform engineers, DevOps leaders, cloud architects, engineering managers and operations teams evaluating how to use AI to improve reliability, reduce manual effort and respond faster to incidents in production.
