Introduction Running workloads on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) can involve managing failures like OOMKilled or IP exhaustion. Engineers must repeatedly collect pod logs, trace events, and check node logs—a process that slows at night/weekends, with critical data lost when pods are deleted or nodes become unhealthy. This collection phase is pure overhead on mean time to resolution (MTTR): the incident stays open while an engineer gathers data that a machine could have captured the moment the failure occurred. Automating it shortens MTTR and lets the on-call engineer start at the analysis step instead of the data-gathering step. Existing AI tools have limitations: K8sGPT only analyzes current resource state, and Amazon Bedrock Agents requires manual tool integration and pipeline setup. Neither provides end-to-end automated incident investigation. AWS DevOps Agent addresses these gaps—a frontier agent that connects code repositories, observability tools, CI/CD pipelines, and skills to autonomously analyze root causes. This post shows how to build an automated incident response pipeline using the DevOps Agent Operator, a Kubernetes Operator that detects EKS failures and triggers DevOps Agent investigations automatically. Solution overview AWS DevOps Agent provides powerful incident analysis. However, it does not detect pod failures inside an EKS cluster on its own. To start an investigation, an external source must trigger DevOps Agent through a webhook. When this trigger occurs, two conditions must be met: Immediate failure detection: You must …
