Abstract

Healthcare organizations increasingly rely on SAP systems to support critical clinical, administrative, and financial operations, requiring deployment pipelines that are secure, compliant, and efficient. However, traditional CI/CD practices in hybrid cloud environments often introduce operational waste through redundant processes, manual interventions, and delayed security validations. This paper proposes an Agentic AI–driven DevSecOps CI/CD framework for secure and waste-reduced SAP deployments in healthcare hybrid cloud environments. The framework utilizes autonomous AI agents to continuously coordinate integration, testing, security assessment, compliance validation, and deployment activities across on-premises infrastructure and public cloud platforms. By embedding security controls early in the pipeline and leveraging team wisdom derived from historical deployment data and expert feedback, the system proactively identifies risks, optimizes resource utilization, and minimizes rework and release failures. Waste reduction is achieved through intelligent pipeline orchestration, adaptive decision-making, and automated remediation aligned with healthcare regulatory requirements. Experimental evaluation demonstrates improvements in deployment reliability, reduced lead time, lower failure rates, and enhanced security posture compared to conventional DevSecOps pipelines. The findings highlight the potential of agentic AI to advance secure, lean, and resilient SAP delivery in healthcare hybrid cloud ecosystems.
