AWS DevOps Agent adds release management capability (preview)

AWS DevOps Agent now offers a release management capability in preview, evaluating code changes for production safety and running autonomous release testing to help ship code to production safely and confidently.

AWS DevOps Agent now offers a release management capability in preview, reviewing code changes for release readiness and running autonomous release testing to help you ship code to production safely and with confidence. With this addition, AWS DevOps Agent works across both delivery and operations. It accelerates and validates the deployment of code changes, then keeps your applications running optimally across AWS, multicloud, and on-prem environments. With release readiness review, AWS DevOps Agent evaluates code changes for production safety during code generation by checking for drift from internal standards, dependency impacts, and access controls. It maps cross-repository dependencies to surface breaking changes before commit and uses deterministic proofs to review that infrastructure changes do not drift from AWS Well-Architected best practices. With release testing, AWS DevOps Agent generates and runs test plans for web and API-based applications in customer-provisioned environments, catching regressions, UX issues, and integration failures a human reviewer may miss. To get started with the preview, connect your code repositories and pipelines in your AWS DevOps Agent space. AWS DevOps Agent release management is available in the US East (N. Virginia) Region and at no additional cost during the preview period.
