Azure SRE Agent is now generally available (read the GA announcement). . After months in preview with teams across Microsoft and early customers, here’s what’s shipping at GA.
We use SRE Agent in our team
We built SRE Agent to solve our own operational problems first. It investigates our regressions, triages errors daily, and turns investigations into reusable knowledge. Every capability in this release was shaped from those learnings.

What’s new at GA
Redesigned onboarding — useful on day one
Can a new agent become useful the same day you set it up? That’s the bar we designed around. Connect code, logs, incidents, Azure resources, and knowledge files in a single guided flow.
→ What It Takes to Give an SRE Agent a Useful Starting Point
Deep Context — your agent builds expertise on your environment
Continuous access to your logs, code, and knowledge. Persistent memory across investigations. Background intelligence that runs when nobody is asking questions. Your agent already knows your routes, error handlers, and deployment configs because it’s been exploring your environment continuously. It remembers what worked last time and surfaces operational insights nobody asked for.

Why SRE Agent – Capabilities that move the needle
Automated investigation — proactive and reactive
Set up scheduled tasks to run investigations on a cadence — catch issues before they become incidents. When an incident does fire, your agent picks it up automatically through integrations with platforms like ICM, PagerDuty, and ServiceNow.
Faster root cause analysis → lower MTTR
Your agent is code and context aware and learns continuously. It connects runtime errors to the code that caused them and gets faster with every investigation.
Automate workflows across any ecosystem → reduce toil
Connect to any system via MCP connectors. Eliminate the context-switching of working across multiple platforms, orchestrate workflows across Azure, monitoring, ticketing, and more from a single place.
Integrate with any HTTP API → bring your own tools
Write custom Python tools that call any endpoint. Extend your agent to interact with internal APIs, third-party services, or any system your team relies on.
Customize your agent → skills and plugins
Add your own skills to teach domain-specific knowledge, or browse the Plugin Marketplace to install pre-built capabilities with a single click.
