Course Outline
Introduction to Agentic AI for IT Operations
- The evolution of IT automation: moving from static runbooks to reasoning agents
- Understanding agent anatomy: reasoning loops, tool utilization, memory, and planning
- Determining when to automate versus when to maintain human oversight
Agent Frameworks and Architectural Patterns
- Single-agent patterns: ReAct, Plan-and-Execute, and tool-calling loops
- Multi-agent architectures: supervisor, hierarchical, and swarm patterns
- Comparing frameworks: LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, and custom agent solutions
- Building your first operational agent: querying monitoring systems, diagnosing issues, and proposing solutions
Tool Integration for IT Operations
- Connecting agents to APIs for Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, and PagerDuty
- Agent-based log querying: integrating with Elasticsearch, Loki, and Splunk
- Leveraging infrastructure tools: using 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
- Generating root cause hypotheses and gathering supporting evidence
- Automated remediation strategies: restarting, scaling, rolling back, and failing over
- Creating an incident runbook agent with progressive levels of autonomy
Safety, Guardrails, and Human-in-the-Loop Strategies
- Classifying actions: read-only, low-risk, high-risk, and destructive
- Establishing approval gates and escalation policies for critical operations
- Implementing guardrail patterns: 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 responses
Observability and Evaluation
- Tracing agent reasoning chains for debugging and audit purposes
- Evaluating agent decision quality: precision, recall, and time-to-resolution
- Establishing feedback loops: learning from operator overrides and outcomes
- Tracking costs and analyzing token economics for operational agents
Production Deployment and Operations
- Deploying agents as services: utilizing APIs, webhooks, and scheduled jobs
- Rolling out gradual autonomy: moving from shadow mode to full auto-remediation
- Creating runbooks for agent failures: addressing scenarios where the agent itself malfunctions
- Building a business case and measuring ROI for autonomous operations
Requirements
- Practical experience in IT operations, DevOps, or SRE practices.
- Proficiency in Python scripting and REST APIs.
- A foundational understanding of LLM capabilities and prompt engineering.
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 solutions for incident management.
