Abstract

To manage operational tasks and production environments  in large-scale computing environments, a system and method can utilize a federated swarm of specialized software agents. Each agent may have a specific domain persona, such as an incident investigator or a mitigation specialist, an operational workflow specialist for Method of Procedure (MOP) execution, a release engineering specialist for software development lifecycle (SDLC) release health, or a third-party (3P) SaaS governance/operational specialist . These agent swarms can be running headless and/or they could also be instantiated on a per-event basis and can operate within a context defined by a component-specific harness, which may specify permissible tools, knowledge bases and operational workflows. A beneficial feature can be an internal adversarial peer-review process where one agent critiques a mitigation plan or a change request  proposed by another agent before implementation. This approach may facilitate the automation of operational tasks, for instance,  telemetry monitoring, incident triage and mitigation, by providing a scalable framework with integrated safety controls, human-in-the-loop gates, and detailed auditability.
