GenAIOps for Cloud Solution Architects

A practical guide for new CSAs learning how to move generative AI from prompt experiments into safe, governed, cost-aware Azure solutions.

Core idea

GenAIOps turns GenAI from experiments into operated enterprise services.

This is personal educational content. It uses public-safe examples only and does not include customer confidential material.

The lifecycle

Build

Prompts, agents, retrieval, orchestration and tools.

Evaluate

Groundedness, relevance, coherence, safety and task success.

Deploy

Managed endpoints, CI/CD, gateway and release controls.

Monitor

System health, answer health, token use, safety events and feedback.

Govern

Identity, RBAC, audit, responsible AI and project isolation.

Optimise

Cost, model choice, context design, caching and continuous improvement.

What you will learn

Architecture thinking

How to frame a production GenAI pattern with app, gateway, orchestrator, retrieval, model, safety and telemetry.

Customer conversations

How to ask better discovery questions about value, data, quality, risk, ownership and cost.

Evaluation and monitoring
