Agentic CI/CD with Solomon Hykes of Dagger

In this episode of the Agentic DevOps podcast, Bret Fisher, along with co-host Nirmal Mehta, interviews Solomon Hykes of Dagger about the intersection of AI, software development, and CI/CD. The discussion covers Dagger's new open-source project, Container Use, which provides containerized environments for coding agents, and how this addresses the challenges of building, testing, and running AI-generated code. The conversation explores the convergence of dev and CI-CD loops, the need for repeatable environments for AI agents, and the potential for a new ecosystem around MCP (Model Context Protocol). They also discuss the security implications of integrating AI agents with development workflows, the importance of platform engineering teams in managing and monitoring these agents, and the balance between proprietary AI solutions and open-source tools.
