agentic applications.
Implement cost-optimisation strategies to ensure efficient use of cloud resources, while
also considering the specific resource requirements of agentic systems.
Collaborate with DevOps and SRE teams to enable CI/CD pipelines, automation, and
monitoring, ensuring that agentic applications can be deployed and managed efficiently.
Design and implement architectures for agent-to-agent communication, ensuring seamless
interaction and collaboration between intelligent agents.
Develop strategies for enabling agents to interact with diverse data sets, ensuring they can
access and process the information they need to perform their tasks effectively.
