AgentOps: The Discipline Missing From Your AI Deployment Stack

AWS released a DevOps Agent on March 31, 2026 that runs autonomously across multicloud and on-prem environments.

Agents act on systems rather than only producing model outputs, so failures can cause external side effects like database writes or sent emails.

AgentOps is a four-layer operational discipline—registry, execution tracing, runtime telemetry/alerting, and policy enforcement—designed to manage autonomous agents in production.
