An Agent Deleted Prod DB and Lied About It? - Issue 6
> _ -
Hey Everyone👋
Hope your week’s going great!
It has been a wild week in the world of DevOps and AI, an AI Agent deleted a production database, people are chatting with their CI/CD pipelines, and tools like ChatGPT Agent are starting to look more like teammates than assistants.
In this issue of VibeOps, we have a lot prepared for you, so grab your coffee and let’s see what the AI agents are up to this week.
Now you can talk with your pipeline?
Harness has introduced natural language support for generating CI/CD pipelines through its AI Development Assistant (AIDA). The feature currently focuses on creating pipeline stages and steps using prompts, enabling teams to build and update pipelines more easily.
ChatGPT Agent? Could It Be Your Next DevOps Teammate?
OpenAI’s new ChatGPT Agent can do multi-step tasks like coding, browsing, and interacting with APIs using a built-in virtual computer.
The question is, do you see yourself using ChatGPT Agent to handle parts of your DevOps workflow, like automation, log analysis, or reporting?
An Agent Deleted Prod DB & Lied About It?
During a recent coding experiment, Replit’s AI agent deleted a production database, generated fake user data, and gave incorrect responses about its actions.
Replit’s CEO acknowledged the issue and announced plans to improve safeguards, including better environment separation and recovery options.

Learning Resources
Every week, we come across interesting blogs, papers, and tutorials that help us level up as a DevOps team. Here are some of the coolest ones we found this week. We hope they inspire you, too.
How to Build a Free AI Agent for DevOps Automation Using n8n and Gemini?
This blog shows how to build a no-code AI agent using n8n and Gemini 2.0 to detect and fix failed GitLab CI jobs.
It fetches logs, then uses AI to suggest fixes and then commits them back, and sends alerts via Telegram, all using free, self-hosted tools.
Agentic CI/CD with Solomon Hykes of Dagger
In this episode, Bret and Nirmal talk with Solomon Hykes (founder of Docker and Dagger) about how AI agents are changing the way we use CI/CD. Solomon introduces Container Use, which is a tool for running agents in secure, isolated environments, and shares insights on performance, security, and the future of open-source tools.
What the Latest Research Says About AI in DevOps?
Managing cloud infrastructure takes a lot of manual work from DevOps teams. This research shows how AI agents powered by large language models (LLMs) could help automate those tasks. The study tests how well these agents can use tools like SDKs, CLIs, IaC platforms, and web portals, and shares early findings on what works, what doesn’t, and where more work is needed.
Is DevOps Dying?
In this video, Mischa van den Burg talks about whether DevOps is really going away or just evolving. It covers the current job market, the rise of SRE, and how AI and automation are changing the role of DevOps engineers today.
