Autonomous Troubleshooting on Amazon EKS with Strands Agents and MCP

At AWS Summit Zurich I shared a view of where cloud operations is heading, along with an end-to-end demo: autonomous troubleshooting on Amazon EKS with Strands Agents and the Model Context Protocol.
Kubernetes troubleshooting has been automated for years. What is changing is that it is becoming autonomous. An agent can now hold enough context about a cluster to investigate a problem, not just execute a fixed runbook against it.
That shift is early, and this demo was one data point rather than a finished product. But agentic systems and open protocols like MCP are going to reshape how cloud operations works, and they move us closer to infrastructure that recovers on its own.



Thanks
Thanks to everyone who came to the session, and to the AWS community for the energy in the room.
