Why enterprise AI agents fail on production data, and a runtime governance pattern using data contracts, lineage signals, and guardrails to prevent it.
Bad Agentic AI output is rarely a generation problem. It's usually bad retrieval, bad planning, or bad execution upstream. Measure every stage, not just the result.
Azure AI Foundry turns RAG setup from a week of manual plumbing into an afternoon of configuration — but access control, security, and cost planning are still on you.
A practical framework for graduated autonomy in self-healing infrastructure, covering three remediation tiers and policy-driven blast-radius controls for cloud SRE teams.
Evaluation has real costs (inference spend, latency, storage) — budget for it explicitly, and treat every user-reported regression as a permanent new test case.
Legacy VMware on-prem, reactive AWS, and a ticket queue that never emptied — we deployed agentic AI across both substrates and changed how the team operates entirely.
