What AI Agents Actually Need from Your Cloud Stack
About this event
Rakia Finley walks the AWS DMV User Group through the infrastructure agents genuinely require: storage and orchestration for RAG workloads, latency-aware event pipelines for LLMs, and monitoring systems whose outputs are nondeterministic.
A technical session at the AWS Skills Center in Crystal City on the unglamorous half of agent engineering: the infrastructure underneath.
Rakia Finley covers what cloud-native architecture has to provide for AI agents to be stable, scalable and secure. Specific ground includes the storage and container orchestration demands that retrieval-augmented generation workloads place on a stack, building latency-aware event pipelines for LLM calls, and the genuinely hard problem of monitoring and alerting on systems whose outputs are nondeterministic by design.
The talk is framed around the move from prototype to production, which is where most generative AI projects stall.
The audience is engineers and architects. Free to attend, hosted by the AWS DMV User Group at the AWS Skills Center on Crystal Drive in Arlington.
