Project
AWS's AI agent that acts as an autonomous on-call engineer, investigating incidents, tracing root causes and recommending fixes across cloud and DevOps tools.
AWS made CloudWatch Omni generally available with 17 built-in evaluators that score an AI agent's answers on live production traffic. For operators, the job moves from confirming an agent is running to deciding whether an automated score is good enough to gate a release.
Reality
AWS's new observability surface discovers services and adjusts alarms against the targets you set, and signs engineers in through IAM Identity Center at a URL of your own. Instrumentation coverage decides what it can see.
Reality
A tester gave AWS DevOps Agent a broad elevated role and found its temporary session policy admits only supported actions, while an SSM document that accepts arbitrary package names still installed tmux after one approval.
Reality
A devops.com model sorts incidents by familiarity, blast radius, reversibility and evidence, then puts the permission check in deterministic policy outside the LLM. Most of the rollout work is writing down which services qualify.
Reality
At Dreamforce 2026 the company said Model Context Protocol will carry its context and actions into both hyperscalers' agent products, while AWS agents move into Slack. The connector work becomes a scoping job.
Reality
An AWS post on agent monitoring describes failures that return clean responses and throw no exceptions, and answers them with a judge model that scores live interactions for helpfulness, correctness and goal completion.

Microsoft has delayed the first cumulative update for Exchange Server Subscription Edition a second time, with no new date, while engineers validate a growing pile of AI-found security findings.
