Most platform teams now run agents that can read every metric, log and trace in their environment, and many ask them to help investigate incidents. Far fewer trust the agent’s conclusion on root cause, and almost none let it act.

Join Causely and Platform Engineering at AWS re:Invent for a closed-door roundtable with platform and SRE leaders. Bring your questions on where the trust line sits today, what has been rolled back, and what it takes to move agents from assistants to operators.

In this roundtable, we’ll discuss:

Where agents are earning trust in ops today: which workflows (triage, health checks, deploy validation) have stuck, which have been pulled back, and why.

What agents need beyond telemetry: how teams give agents the knowledge of dependencies, ownership and failure paths that lives in engineers’ heads, and who owns building it.

Governance for agents that act: the evidence, audit trail and guardrails leaders require before automating remediation, and how they scope the first actions agents may take.

Your hosts

This is an invitation-only roundtable. Space is limited, and each request is reviewed. Light refreshments will be provided.
