Break It, Fix It: Hands-On Autonomous Incident Response with AWS DevOps Agent

You watched an agent investigate an incident on stage. Now do it yourself. In this hands-on workshop you will deploy a small production-style application on AWS, wire up AWS DevOps Agent, and then deliberately break things: a bad deployment, a misconfiguration, a failing dependency. You will watch the agent investigate autonomously, correlate telemetry across CloudWatch and your logs, walk the application’s topology, identify root cause, and propose a mitigation, the same way an experienced on-call engineer would, but in minutes and without you driving every step. By the end you will have run a full alert-to-root-cause-to-mitigation loop with an autonomous agent, you will understand how to connect it to your own observability and code, and you will leave with a working reference setup you can adapt to your environment. Bring a laptop; we will provide the application, the broken scenarios, and the guardrails. No prior experience with AWS DevOps Agent required.

Attendee requirements: Bring your own laptop.
