Finish: you kept Aetherion flying¶
MicroHack complete
You onboarded a read-only agent, investigated and recovered live incidents under approval, grounded the agent in Aetherion's runbooks, engineered a specialist subagent and reusable skill, let it recover autonomously within guardrails, commanded a Tier-0 major incident, and briefed leadership. That's the full Reactive → Assisted → Autonomous journey with the Azure SRE Agent.
What you can now do¶
- Detect & investigate incidents read-only, with evidence-backed root cause
- Recover safely under approval or bounded autonomy
- Ground & extend the agent with runbooks, subagents and skills
- Close the loop: RCA handover and a leadership briefing
What changed in your estate¶
Every incident today was an ordinary change made badly. In a real environment, these are the six you'd have to undo, and the list is the change-management lesson in miniature:
| Incident | What changed | How it was undone |
|---|---|---|
| Check-in slowdown | A "cache migration" repointed booking at a cache endpoint that answers nothing, so every read waited out its timeout before falling back to the database |
Remove the override so it resolves the real cache again |
| Flight board dark | A release pinned flight-ops to an image tag that was never published |
kubectl rollout undo |
| Crew scheduling | The index behind the crew duty lookup went missing, so every request scanned the whole roster table | Rebuild the index under approval |
| Baggage errors | A canary revision served the wrong API surface behind the same Service | Remove the bad revision |
| Check-in, under peak load | A cost optimisation cut booking's CPU limit and pinned its replica count, so the autoscaler couldn't absorb the surge |
Restore the limit and the autoscaling ceiling |
| API front door | A backend override was published to the APIM product policy | Restore the default policy |
Tear down the environment¶
Do this to stop Azure charges
Pick your microhack from the list; it removes the resource group and its load-generator pair, the single biggest cost saver. See Teardown for the reset-vs-delete options.
