Among DevOps respondents, 83.4% run CI/CD pipelines. Self-hosting remains strong: 72.8% run their primary system on premises or self-managed cloud, and 30.5% use on-premises installations, a five-year high. AI is used by 48.8% of organizations for at least one CI/CD task, but only 8% integrate AI steps directly into builds; 28% interact via MCP or agent skills versus 10% via built-in assistants.
