Course Outline
Introduction to Agentic AI in Operations
- Transitioning from static runbooks to reasoning agents: the evolution of IT automation
- Anatomy of an agent: reasoning loops, tool utilization, memory management, and planning
- Determining when to automate versus when to maintain human involvement
Agent Frameworks and Architectural Patterns
- Single-agent patterns: ReAct, Plan-and-Execute, and tool-calling cycles
- Multi-agent architectures: supervisor, hierarchical, and swarm models
- Framework analysis: LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, and custom agent implementations
- Constructing your first operational agent: querying monitoring, diagnosing issues, and proposing solutions
Tool Integration for IT Operations
- Connecting agents to Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, and PagerDuty APIs
- Agent-based log querying: integration with Elasticsearch, Loki, and Splunk
- Leveraging infrastructure tools: kubectl, Terraform, and Ansible via agent actions
- Designing secure tool interfaces with parameter validation and idempotency
Incident Response Automation
- Automated incident triage: severity classification and routing mechanisms
- Generating root cause hypotheses and collecting supporting evidence
- Automated remediation: executing restart, scale, rollback, and failover actions
- Developing an incident runbook agent with progressive levels of autonomy
Safety, Guardrails, and Human-in-the-Loop Mechanisms
- Action classification: read-only, low-risk, high-risk, and destructive operations
- Establishing approval gates and escalation policies for critical operations
- Guardrail patterns: implementing action allowlists, blast radius limits, and rollback guarantees
- Maintaining audit trails and decision provenance for compliance purposes
Multi-Agent Orchestration for Complex Incidents
- Coordinating specialist agents: triage, diagnosis, and remediation roles
- Managing inter-agent communication and shared context
- Resolving conflicts when agents propose contradictory actions
- Simulating end-to-end major incidents with multi-agent response strategies
Observability and Evaluation Metrics
- Tracing agent reasoning chains for effective debugging and auditing
- Evaluating agent decision quality: measuring precision, recall, and time-to-resolution
- Implementing feedback loops: learning from operator overrides and operational outcomes
- Tracking costs and analyzing token economics for operational agents
Production Deployment and Operations
- Deploying agents as services: utilizing APIs, webhooks, and scheduled jobs
- Gradual autonomy rollout: transitioning from shadow mode to full auto-remediation
- Runbooks for agent failures: handling scenarios where the agent itself encounters issues
- Building a business case and measuring ROI for autonomous operations
Requirements
- Professional experience with IT operations, DevOps, or SRE practices.
- Proficiency in Python scripting and REST API interactions.
- Fundamental understanding of LLM capabilities and prompt engineering techniques.
Target Audience
- SRE and DevOps engineers exploring AI-driven automation strategies.
- Platform engineers focused on building self-healing infrastructure.
- IT operations leaders evaluating agentic AI for enhanced incident management.
