Generally Available: Azure SRE Agent 30-Day Trial

LaunchedAzure update
New customers can now get started with Azure SRE Agent through a 30-day trial experience. During the trial, customers can create SRE Agents and connect them to your operational tools and data sources, and explore capabilities at their own pace without baseline always-on charges.

Customers pay only for Azure Agent Units (AAUs) consumed when agents perform work.

Here are a few practical ways developers, SREs, and IT operations teams can use the 30-day trial: 

  • Investigate a root cause: Let the agent work across alerts, logs, metrics, traces, Azure resource state, code, and recent deployments to build a likely root cause and suggest a mitigation. 

  • Automate alert response: Trigger investigations from Azure Monitor, Datadog, Dynatrace, or PagerDuty and guide the response with your team's existing runbooks and practices. 

  • Get ahead of operational risks: Run post-deployment health checks, monitor certificate expiration, detect configuration drift, review costs, or support compliance checks. 

  • Close the loop: Have your agent send evidence, root cause, mitigation, and follow-up work to GitHub, ServiceNow, Jira, or Azure DevOps.
