The solution deploys via a single CloudFormation stack and uses two event paths: an EventBridge webhook bridge for real-time HyperPod events, and a periodic Lambda that polls Kubernetes state every 15 minutes. Two plain-English skills teach the agent HyperPod's operational model — a triage skill deduplicates correlated events, and an RCA skill reconstructs incident timelines and classifies verdicts as Suppress, Monitor, Escalate, or Resolved. Results are emailed via SES. The agent operates read-only, complementing HyperPod's built-in self-healing rather than replacing it. Cost scales with fault volume: roughly $4 per investigation, with a healthy cluster costing ~$30-60/month for heartbeat checks alone. The solution replaces 30-45 minutes of manual triage per incident with automated verdicts in minutes. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### How much does AWS DevOps Agent cost per investigation for SageMaker HyperPod incident triage? Each investigation costs approximately $4 at an average duration of 8 minutes, billed at $0.0083 per agent-second. A healthy cluster with no faults incurs only the daily heartbeat cost, roughly $30-60/month. A cluster with 5 real faults per week generates about 20 investigations/month, adding ~$80 in investigation costs. New customers receive a 2-month free trial of 20 hours of investigations per month. _Teams running large GPU fleets track these operational costs alongside infrastructure spend on daily.dev._ ### What verdicts does the AWS DevOps Agent RCA skill assign for SageMaker HyperPod incidents? The RCA skill classifies each incident into one of four verdicts: Suppress (transient event already resolved, no action needed), Monitor (recovery is in flight with an expected resolution window), Escalate (operator action required with root cause and recommended steps), or Resolved (auto-recovery closed the loop). Suppress verdicts are filtered from email notifications to reduce noise. _Engineers building on-call runbooks for GPU clusters follow patterns like this on daily.dev._ ### How does the SageMaker HyperPod DevOps Agent integration detect Kubernetes workload issues like CrashLoopBackOff? A periodic-audit Lambda runs every 15 minutes and queries the EKS API server directly. It flags pods in CrashLoopBackOff when restart count reaches five and the last crash is within 15 minutes, and flags NotReady nodes when a node has been NotReady for at least 15 minutes and at least 10% of nodes are affected. Pods in kube-public and kube-node-lease namespaces are ignored by default. All thresholds are configurable via CloudFormation parameters. _Kubernetes operators monitoring GPU node health find related operational patterns on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [AWS DevOps Agent — Capabilities, Setup, and What It Actually Does](https://daily.dev/posts/aws-devops-agent-capabilities-setup-and-what-it-actually-does-b16ztfmbs) · AWS Fundamentals · 10 upvotes · 2 comments - [How Property Finder automated incident management with AWS DevOps Agent](https://daily.dev/posts/how-property-finder-automated-incident-management-with-aws-devops-agent-1xepy01ap) · AWS · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [AWS Announces General Availability of DevOps Agent for Automated Incident Investigation](https://daily.dev/posts/aws-announces-general-availability-of-devops-agent-for-automated-incident-investigation-o3foudjfb) · InfoQ · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Automate root cause analysis across Datadog and Elasticsearch with AWS DevOps Agent](https://daily.dev/posts/automate-root-cause-analysis-across-datadog-and-elasticsearch-with-aws-devops-agent-pg6b3fzvz) · AWS · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [AWS Debuts “DevOps Agent” to Automate Incident Response and Improve System Reliability](https://daily.dev/posts/aws-debuts-devops-agent-to-automate-incident-response-and-improve-system-reliability-uo2xyxagj) · InfoQ · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#kubernetes](https://daily.dev/tags/kubernetes), [#aiops](https://daily.dev/tags/aiops) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/automate-sagemaker-hyperpod-incident-triage-and-root-cause-analysis-with-aws-devops-agent-8q1vhxqcn) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Automate SageMaker HyperPod incident triage and root-cause-analysis with AWS DevOps Agent","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/automate-sagemaker-hyperpod-incident-triage-and-root-cause-analysis-with-aws-devops-agent-8q1vhxqcn","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/automate-sagemaker-hyperpod-incident-triage-and-root-cause-analysis-with-aws-devops-agent-8q1vhxqcn"},"datePublished":"2026-08-10T11:30:36.943Z","dateModified":"2026-08-10T11:31:11.994Z","description":"AWS DevOps Agent can be integrated with SageMaker HyperPod clusters to provide autonomous 24/7 incident triage and root-cause analysis for GPU training...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/b00ce873d782aed2111cc3e31e52673c?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/b00ce873d782aed2111cc3e31e52673c?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"AWS","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"AWS","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/aws","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/aws"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/automate-sagemaker-hyperpod-incident-triage-and-root-cause-analysis-with-aws-devops-agent-8q1vhxqcn","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"kubernetes,aiops","timeRequired":"PT21M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"AWS","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/aws"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Automate SageMaker HyperPod incident triage and root-cause-analysis with AWS DevOps Agent"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/automate-sagemaker-hyperpod-incident-triage-and-root-cause-analysis-with-aws-devops-agent-8q1vhxqcn#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"How much does AWS DevOps Agent cost per investigation for SageMaker HyperPod incident triage?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Each investigation costs approximately $4 at an average duration of 8 minutes, billed at $0.0083 per agent-second.
