Hackathon Overview
This year, our focus is on AIOps — the intersection of AI and DevOps, where intelligence meets automation. We're calling on you to create AI-Powered DevOps Systems or Cloud-Native DevOps Solutions that redefine how infrastructure, deployments, observability, and operations are managed. Your agents can analyze, reason, and act — connecting to real tools, APIs, and data sources to enhance the way modern systems operate. 
The Challenge
Build AI-driven agents or applications that: 
Reason intelligently about operational data (logs, metrics, configs)
Detect and predict incidents before they impact users
Recommend or execute remediations autonomously
Integrate with cloud-native ecosystems (Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD, etc.)
Improve reliability, security, and performance with data-driven decisions
Your goal is to design something that operationalizes AI — turning insights into actions that reduce toil, boost efficiency, and accelerate delivery.
How to Participate
Our hackathon unfolds in two distinct phases, designed to guide you from concept to a demonstrable solution:
01
Round 1: Idea Submission
This initial phase is all about creativity and problem-solving. We challenge you to:
Start by brainstorming a real-world AIOps problem.
Submit a concept explaining:
The problem your AI agent solves.
The DevOps/cloud context it operates in.
How AI reasoning enhances the process.
The architecture (inputs, outputs, tools, APIs).
01
Round 2: Build & Demo
Once your idea is approved, it's time to bring it to life! In this phase, selected teams will:
Develop a working prototype of your AI App or Agent using the KodeKey platform.
Showcase your agent's AI reasoning capabilities.
Demonstrate tool integration and operational intelligence in action.
What We're Looking For
We want solutions that are:
Creative — pushing boundaries of what AIOps can do
Architecturally sound — robust design and integration with real tools
Impactful — measurable improvement in efficiency, reliability, or insight
Ethical & safe — AI that operates with clear guardrails
Why AIOps?
Most GenAI projects stall not because the tech doesn't work — but because they lack operational muscle. This hackathon aims to bridge that gap by giving teams a framework to build operationally sound AI systems that scale safely, reduce risk, and deliver real business value.
What if an AI agent could make my infrastructure smarter? Then, dream, design, and build it. Join innovators from around the world and show us what the next generation of autonomous operations looks like.
