Generally Available: Azure SRE Agent 30-Day Trial
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.
