Enterprise Cloud Reliability and Compliance with AI Agents on AWS

Executive Summary 

Enterprises running workloads on AWS face rising complexity in ensuring reliability, compliance, and cost efficiency at scale. Manual operations create bottlenecks and risks, especially in regulated industries. AutonomousOps, an AI-powered automation platform, partnered with AWS to deliver intelligent agents that automate FinOps, SRE, Compliance, and DevOps functions.

Built on AWS-native services like CloudWatch, Config, GuardDuty, Security Hub, and Step Functions, the platform reduces manual intervention, accelerates incident response, ensures continuous compliance, and optimizes costs—all with a flexible “Agent Mode” for human-in-the-loop oversight. The result: customers achieve measurable reductions in operational overhead, improved resilience, and substantial cost savings. 

Customer Challenge 

Customer Information

• Industry: Multi-sector (Banking, Manufacturing, Public Safety) 

• Location: Global, AWS Cloud–based Operations 

• Company Size: Large Enterprise (>5,000 employees) 

Business Challenges 

Enterprises managing workloads across AWS accounts and regions face challenges, including: 

• Escalating operational overhead and SRE workload. 

• Inefficient compliance and cost governance. 

• Delays in incident resolution due to manual RCA. 

• Risk of drift and non-compliance in regulated sectors. 

• Balancing automation with business-critical oversight.

Technical Challenges 

• Integration complexity with AWS-native services and enterprise logging. 

• Lack of context-aware automation across distributed systems. 

• Scalability requirements for multi-region high availability. 

• Ensuring security, compliance evidence collection, and audit readiness. 

• Legacy processes limiting automation adoption.

Partner Solution  

Solution Overview 

AutonomousOps.ai deployed an agentic automation framework powered by AWS services. Multi-agent orchestration was implemented using ECS/EKS, with event-driven workflows built on EventBridge, Lambda, and Step Functions. A context engine leveraging Amazon Neptune and OpenSearch provided real-time decision support.

Agent Mode, surfaced in Slack/Teams via SNS, ensured human-controlled approval workflows. Security was reinforced through IAM least-privilege roles, KMS encryption, and GuardDuty integration. The solution enabled enterprises to scale operations, enforce compliance, reduce costs, and accelerate incident handling. 

AWS Services Used 

• Amazon EKS/ECS – Orchestration of agents. 

• AWS Lambda – Event-driven triggers for agents. 

• Amazon EventBridge – Central event bus for cloud events. 

• Amazon CloudWatch – Metrics, logs, alarms, anomaly insights. 

• Amazon Neptune – Context and queue storage. 

• Amazon OpenSearch Service – Search/analytics layer for context. 

• Amazon Neptune – Knowledge graph for operational context. 

• Amazon S3 – Log and artifact storage. 

• AWS Step Functions + SNS – Agent Mode approval workflows. 

• AWS Config + Security Hub + GuardDuty – Compliance and security posture. 

• AWS KMS – Data encryption. 

• Amazon Route 53 + WAF + Shield – Network security and HA. 

Architecture Diagram Implementation Details 

• Methodology: Agile/DevOps with incremental rollouts. 

• Integration: Native AWS observability (CloudWatch, EventBridge) + enterprise ChatOps (Slack, Teams). 

• Security: IAM role-based controls, MFA approvals, KMS encryption. 

• Deployment: Multi-region setup with Route 53 failover. 

• Testing: Automated RCA simulations, compliance validation, cost optimization scenarios. 

• Timeline: 6–9 months to production deployment across global regions. 

Innovation and Best Practices
