Last week, I visited AWS Hong Kong User Group with my team. Hong Kong has a small but strong community, and their energy and passion are high. They recently started a new AI user group, and we hope more people will join. I was able to strengthen my bond with the community through great food and conversation. This week, I’ll first take a closer look at some of the key launches. AWS DevOps Agent and Security Agent GA At the last re:Invent, we introduced the concept of frontier agents that work autonomously across multiple steps to achieve outcomes, operating continuously until the job is done. The first two—AWS DevOps Agent and AWS Security Agent—are now generally available after the preview. AWS DevOps Agent helps you run cloud operations—investigating incidents, reducing time to resolution, and preventing issues before they happen. Customers like United Airlines, Western Governors University, and T-Mobile are already using DevOps Agent to accelerate incident response and simplify operations at scale. At WGU, resolution time dropped from hours to minutes, and in preview customers report up to 75% lower MTTR and 3 to 5 times faster resolution.

This agent operates like a human penetration tester. Customers including LG CNS, HENNGE, and Wayspring are seeing strong results. At LG CNS, teams estimate over 50% faster testing and ~30% lower costs, along with significantly fewer false positives. Learn more…
