AI-integrated DevOps tools in my daily flow

After fourteen months testing AI-integrated DevOps tools across several teams, the stack that stays is small: Claude Code, Cursor, and Aider for code; PagerDuty AIOps, Datadog Bits AI, and Grafana Assistant for alert triage; and OpenTofu with OPA for infrastructure generation bounded by policy rules.

Technology

nerdctl: A Lightweight Docker Alternative Over containerd

nerdctl is a Docker-compatible CLI that talks directly to containerd, the standard Kubernetes runtime since dockershim was removed in 2022. It adds rootless support by default, encrypted images with ocicrypt, lazy-pulling, and native CNI. It fits best where containerd already runs, though Docker Engine still wins on advanced Compose and Swarm.

Tools

Efficient PC Management with Microsoft PC Manager

Microsoft PC Manager is a free, official Microsoft tool that brings temporary-file cleanup, Windows startup management, one-click access to Windows Defender, and a visual disk-usage map into a single panel. It runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11, but it does not replace a full antivirus or dedicated data-recovery tools.
