Goal#
Use agents to monitor the deployed Octocat Supply application and improve its reliability, leveraging the Azure SRE Agent. Now that the app is deployed, the team wants agentic monitoring — detect, diagnose, and help remediate issues.
This challenge requires a reachable deployment from Challenge 5 in your own Azure subscription. Complete and verify that deployment before continuing; no shared reference environment is supplied.
Use only your disposable workshop deployment. Confirm the fault, rollback, permissions, and spending limit before testing; coordinate with any collaborators. Never inject faults into production or someone else's environment.
Actions#
- Enable observability — Confirm the deployed app emits the telemetry needed for monitoring (logs, metrics, health checks). Add health/readiness endpoints if it doesn't already expose them.
- Set up the SRE Agent — Connect the Azure SRE Agent to the deployed resources so it can observe application health.
- Simulate an issue — Introduce or trigger a fault (e.g. a failing dependency or a bad deploy) that clearly affects health.
- Investigate with the agent — Use the SRE Agent to identify root cause and suggest remediation.
- Remediate — Apply the fix and confirm the agent reports healthy status.
Success criteria#
Capture what the agent surfaced vs. what you had to investigate manually, and note reliability improvements to feed back into the backlog.
