Argues entry-level cloud support roles will shrink as AI automates manual tasks, citing Air Canada's use of AWS's AI modernization service to update thousands of Lambda functions in days instead of a month. Advises aspiring cloud professionals to build AI-augmented workflows and focus on verifying AI output rather than just performing manual tasks. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What are AWS Frontier Agents and what can they do? Frontier Agents are AI agents announced by AWS at a recent re:Invent conference that can work autonomously for hours or even days on tasks like security reviews, DevOps work, and bug fixes. They are currently focused mainly on developer use cases but are expanding into cloud operations, aiming to cut the time needed for manual tasks rather than replace every engineer. _Developers tracking how AI agents are changing DevOps and cloud operations can follow these shifts on daily.dev._ ### How did Air Canada use AWS AI modernization tools to update Lambda functions? Air Canada used an AWS AI modernization service to update thousands of Lambda functions within days, a task that would normally require a full team roughly a month to complete. This illustrates how AI-driven automation is being applied to large-scale cloud infrastructure maintenance rather than just small coding tasks. _Teams weighing AI-assisted modernization for legacy cloud infrastructure can keep up with real-world cases on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [AI Predictions for 2026: A DevOps Engineer's Guide](https://daily.dev/posts/ai-predictions-for-2026-a-devops-engineer-s-guide-3c8mm3lad) · Pulumi · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [InfoQ Cloud and DevOps Trends Report - 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/infoq-cloud-and-devops-trends-report---2026-rihuprqnw) · InfoQ · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#cloud](https://daily.dev/tags/cloud), [#aws](https://daily.dev/tags/aws), [#devops](https://daily.dev/tags/devops), [#career](https://daily.dev/tags/career), [#ai-agents](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-agents) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/the-future-of-cloud-computing--tvjwvj0gm) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"The Future of Cloud Computing?","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/the-future-of-cloud-computing--tvjwvj0gm","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/the-future-of-cloud-computing--tvjwvj0gm"},"datePublished":"2026-10-09T07:26:39.719Z","dateModified":"2026-10-09T07:27:26.091Z","description":"Predictions about the future of AWS and cloud computing driven by AI, centered on Amazon's massive infrastructure spending and the rise of AI agents like AWS's...","image":"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yEtWLFEpvtc/sddefault.jpg","thumbnailUrl":"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yEtWLFEpvtc/sddefault.jpg","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Tech With Lucy","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Tech With Lucy","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--km5KhmfP--/f_auto/v1747294213/logos/techwithlucy","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/techwithlucy"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/the-future-of-cloud-computing--tvjwvj0gm","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":3},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"cloud,aws,devops,career,ai-agents","timeRequired":"PT2M","video":{"@type":"VideoObject","name":"The Future of Cloud Computing?","description":"Predictions about the future of AWS and cloud computing driven by AI, centered on Amazon's massive infrastructure spending and the rise of AI agents like AWS's...","thumbnailUrl":"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yEtWLFEpvtc/sddefault.jpg","uploadDate":"2026-10-09T07:26:39.719Z","duration":"PT2M","url":"https://api.daily.dev/r/TVjWVj0Gm","embedUrl":"https://www.youtube.com/embed/yEtWLFEpvtc"}} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Tech With Lucy","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/techwithlucy"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"The Future of Cloud Computing?"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/the-future-of-cloud-computing--tvjwvj0gm#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What are AWS Frontier Agents and what can they do?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Frontier Agents are AI agents announced by AWS at a recent re:Invent conference that can work autonomously for hours or even days on tasks like security reviews, DevOps work, and bug fixes.
