This is a guest conversation episode of Ship It Weekly , separate from the weekly news recaps. In this Ship It Conversations episode, I talk with Davlet Dzhakishev about what it takes to let AI agents work on your cloud infrastructure, why guardrails belong in the architecture and not the prompt, and what running your own agents really costs. Davlet is the CEO and co-founder of Cloudgeni, which builds AI agents for cloud infrastructure. He got into this after working through SOC 2 and ISO 27001 compliance prep mostly by hand, and asking what agents would need to fix those problems reliably without making things worse. We start with the incident that changed how Cloudgeni builds. An agent hit
