This article explores the emerging category of AI-powered operations agents, comparing AI DevOps engineers and AI SRE agents, how cloud providers are responding, and what engineers should consider when evaluating these tools.
>When deployed strategically, agents can empower SREs to offload low-risk, toilsome tasks so they can focus on the most critical matters.
Agents in practice include:
* **Contextual Information:** Providing SREs with details from previously resolved incidents involving the same service, including responder notes.
* **Root Cause Analysis:** Suggesting potential origins of an issue and identifying recent configuration changes that might be responsible.
* **Automated Remediation:** Handling low-risk, well-defined issues without human intervention, with SRE review of after-action reports.
* **Diagnostic Suggestions:** Nudging SREs towards running specific diagnostics for partially understood incidents and supplying them automatically.
* **Runbook Generation:** Automatically creating and updating runbooks based on successful remediation steps, preventing recurring issues.
