We'll demonstrate HolmesGPT, an open-source CNCF sandbox project that connects LLMs to operational and observability data to diagnose production issues. You'll see how agents reduce MTTR by correlating logs, metrics, and cluster state far faster than manual investigation. Then we'll tackle the harder problem: moving from diagnosis to remediation. We'll show how agents with remediation policies can detect and fix issues autonomously, within strict RBAC boundaries, approval workflows, and audit trails. We'll be honest about challenges: LLM non-determinism, building trust, and why guardrails are non-negotiable. This isn't about replacing SREs; it's about multiplying their effectiveness so they can focus on creative problem-solving and system design.
