Abstract

The transition from traditional cloud computing to the era of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) represents a foundational shift in how digital infrastructure is conceptualized, deployed, and secured. This research provides an extensive exploration of the convergence between Kubernetes orchestration and generative intelligence, identifying the architectural requirements for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) applications and scalable foundation models. By synthesizing state-of-the-art developments across major cloud service providers-specifically Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Microsoft Azure-the study delineates the comparative advantages of specialized AI platforms like SageMaker, Vertex AI, and Azure AI. Central to this analysis is the operationalization of Machine Learning (MLOps) and the integration of security automation (DevSecOps) within the AI lifecycle. The research investigates the challenges of continuous integration for machine learning (ML-CI), data management in production environments, and the mitigation of security vulnerabilities in AI-driven pipelines. Through a systematic review of software engineering taxonomies and lifecycle management schemes, the article establishes a comprehensive framework for "Intelligent DevSecOps." The findings emphasize that the future of work in cloud environments is predicated on the seamless movement from containerized orchestration to autonomous agentic operations. This article offers deep theoretical elaboration on infrastructure cost management, high-performance serving architectures like TensorFlow Serving, and the role of specialized cloud stacks such as NVIDIA DGX Cloud and Red Hat OpenShift AI in supporting the next generation of enterprise AI.
