Automate AWS Transit Gateway operations with AgenticOps

The operational work this removes

• On-call engineers get paged for the same AWS Transit Gateway alerts every week and burn hours re-running the same triage steps by hand
• Runbooks live in a wiki that drifts from reality — nobody trusts them at 3am, so responders improvise and MTTR climbs
• Coding tools generate a fix diff but can't safely reach production, so a human still has to broker credentials, apply it, and watch it
• Root-cause analysis and postmortems are reconstructed from memory hours later, with gaps in the incident timeline
• Deployments and rollbacks depend on tribal knowledge; there is no consistent pre-flight check or auditable record of who approved what
• Alert fatigue means real AWS Transit Gateway signals get lost among low-priority noise that could have been auto-resolved

From signal to verified action

CloudThinker's Frontier Investigation Agents investigate the signal, find the why and propose the fix, or run the safe action your policy allows. Your engineers approve, and the agents verify the outcome.

1. Detect

   Detect the AWS Transit Gateway signal

   The agent watches AWS Transit Gateway signals — alerts, health checks, metrics, and events — and correlates them into a single incident instead of a flood of pages, filtering noise from the symptom that actually matters.

2. Analyze

   Analyze the root cause

   It runs the same triage a senior on-call engineer would: pulls recent deploys, config changes, and dependency health, reads logs against the known-good baseline, and drafts a root-cause hypothesis with the evidence attached — all under brokered, read-scoped credentials in a sandbox.

3. Remediate

   Remediate under policy

   It proposes a concrete fix plan mapped to your runbook (scale, roll back, restart, patch, or open a ticket). At graduated autonomy L1 it only advises; L2 it drafts the change; L3 it executes low-risk, reversible steps under policy; L4 it closes the loop on pre-approved playbooks — always with engineers on the loop and a human approval gate for anything destructive.

4. Verify

   Verify and record

   After acting, the agent confirms recovery against the original signal — error rate back to baseline, pods healthy, SLO restored — rolls back automatically if the fix regresses, and writes a tamper-evident timeline and draft postmortem so the next responder inherits a trustworthy runbook.

Evidence and proposed action

$ cloudthinker incident triage --source AWS Transit Gateway --alert ALT-4821

  [detect]   Correlated 14 alerts → 1 incident: elevated 5xx on checkout-api
             First bad signal: 14:02 UTC · SLO burn rate 8.4x
  [analyze]  Prime suspect: deploy checkout-api@1.9.3 (14:00 UTC, 2m before onset)
             Evidence: OOMKilled x6 · memory limit 512Mi · new dep bumped heap
             Confidence: 0.86 · credentials: read-only, brokered · sandbox: on
  [remediate] Fix plan (autonomy L3 · reversible · engineer approval required):
             1. Roll back checkout-api → 1.9.2   [auto, pre-approved]
             2. Raise memory limit 512Mi → 768Mi [draft PR, needs review]
             > approve step 1? (y/N)
  [verify]   Rollback applied 14:07 UTC → 5xx 4.1% → 0.2% · SLO restored
             Pods healthy 6/6 · draft postmortem + timeline written to incident log

What the agent understands

AWS Transit Gateway attachment analysis, route table management, peering configuration, and network topology review. Covers TGW inventory, attachment health, route propagation, VPN connection status, and bandwidth utilization.
