Working with DevOps Agent

AWS DevOps Agent works alongside your team across the full software delivery lifecycle — from validating code changes through to operating services in production.

Release management (preview)

Release management capabilities help you validate that code changes are ready for production before they get there. DevOps Agent performs automated code reviews that evaluate potential risks to dependencies, adherence to standards and best practices, as well as builds, runs, and tests your changes in a verification environment. It can also generate and run QA tests to verify behavior in a full integration environment to protect from user flow regressions.

Release management is available in your IDE during code generation, in pull requests and merge requests, in CI/CD pipelines, and on-demand through DevOps Agent chat. For more information, see Release management.

Production operations

Production operations capabilities help you detect, respond to, and prevent incidents once your code is running in production. DevOps Agent autonomously investigates issues the moment they occur, analyzes patterns across your incident history to prevent future problems, and provides a conversational interface for querying your infrastructure and guiding investigations. For more information, see Production operations.

Custom Agents

Custom agents let you define your own AI agents tailored to your infrastructure and workflows. You configure a system prompt, select which MCP tools the agent can use, and assign skills that provide domain knowledge. Custom agents run on demand or on a schedule to automate recurring operational work such as generating reports, auditing configurations, and analyzing trends. For more information, see Custom Agents.
