Course Outline
Introduction to Agentic AI for Operations
- Evolution of IT automation: moving from static runbooks to reasoning agents
- Anatomy of an agent: reasoning loops, tool utilization, memory management, and planning
- Determining when to automate versus retaining human involvement in the loop
Agent Frameworks and Architectures
- Single-agent patterns: ReAct, Plan-and-Execute, and tool-calling loops
- Multi-agent architectures: supervisor, hierarchical, and swarm patterns
- Framework comparison: LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, and custom agent implementations
- Building your first operational agent: querying monitoring systems, diagnosing issues, and proposing solutions
Tool Integration for IT Operations
- Connecting agents to Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, and PagerDuty APIs
- Agent-driven log querying: integration with Elasticsearch, Loki, and Splunk
- Infrastructure tool usage: executing kubectl, Terraform, and Ansible commands via agent actions
- Designing safe tool interfaces using parameter validation and idempotency
Incident Response Automation
- Automated incident triage: severity classification and intelligent routing
- Generating root cause hypotheses and gathering supporting evidence
- Automated remediation: executing restart, scaling, rollback, and failover actions
- Developing an incident runbook agent with progressive autonomy levels
Safety, Guardrails, and Human-in-the-Loop
- Action classification: categorizing 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 adherence
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 responses
Observability and Evaluation
- Tracing agent reasoning chains to facilitate debugging and audits
- Evaluating decision quality: assessing 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 via APIs, webhooks, and scheduled jobs
- Gradual autonomy rollout: transitioning from shadow mode to full auto-remediation
- Runbooks for agent failures: protocols for when the agent itself encounters issues
- Constructing the business case and measuring ROI for autonomous operations
Requirements
- Practical experience in IT operations, DevOps, or SRE practices.
- Proficiency in Python scripting and REST API integration.
- A foundational 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 leads evaluating agentic AI solutions for incident management.
