Query Index — David Sanchez · DevOps Playbook for the Agentic Era (2026)¶
Source: All Things Azure, Microsoft DevBlogs. Strategic (no-code) playbook for leaders.
Entities¶
Concepts¶
- agents-scale-not-fix — the welded thesis
- repository-as-interface — machine-readable conventions are operational inputs
- four-collaboration-zones — IDE / PR / CI-CD / Production
- specification-driven-development — prompts → specs, maturity curve
- pipeline-as-verifier — gatekeeper → active verifier; three-layer verification
- pipeline-as-specification — medium-term endpoint
- agentic-devops-maturity-model — four-level ladder
Cross-links already wired¶
- agents-scale-not-fix ↔ engineer-as-director-of-agents, do-not-outsource-thinking
- repository-as-interface ↔ qrspi, upfront-investment-paradox, harness-engineering
- four-collaboration-zones ↔ delegated-agent-authorization, coding-agent-as-foundation
- specification-driven-development ↔ qrspi
- pipeline-as-verifier ↔ ai-generated-code-is-untrusted, verifiability-frontier, verifiable-systems-for-agents
- pipeline-as-specification ↔ durable-observable-debuggable-agents
The emerging 2026 stack (where Sanchez plugs in)¶
- Runtime: durable-observable-debuggable-agents, replay-log (Bantilan)
- Harness: coding-agent-as-foundation, harness-engineering (Chase, Lopopolo)
- Auth: delegated-agent-authorization (Partee)
- Training: subagent-architecture, model-drift (Zhang, Lewis)
- Process: qrspi, engineer-as-director-of-agents (Horthy, Eric)
