Enterprise DevOps / SRE Agent
When PagerDuty fires at 3 AM, a DevOps agent can pull the last hour of logs, correlate with deploys, inspect metrics, and either propose a runbook action or file a prepared ticket before the human is fully awake. Vendors: PagerDuty AIOps, Rootly AI, Incident.io AI, Cleric. In production, the best-tuned agents cut MTTR 30–60% on common alert classes.

Frequently asked questions
Can a DevOps agent auto-remediate?
Technically yes, but most production deployments constrain it to read-only investigation plus runbook proposals. Auto-remediation is reserved for pre-approved, narrowly-scoped actions (e.g., restart a pod with a known-safe image).
What's the killer capability?
Log-correlation plus deploy-timeline joining: when an alert fires, the agent immediately asks 'what deployed in the last 30 minutes? does the error pattern match?' — which is the first thing a human does anyway.
Postmortems?
Agents can draft structured postmortems from incident timelines (Slack, PagerDuty, deploy history) — humans edit and approve. Rootly and Incident.io both ship this as a core feature.
