Azure SRE Agent PREVIEW
Automate repetitive tasks and improve incident response using an autonomous incident mitigation and resource optimization agent with intelligent precision.
Overview
Reimagine incident response and operational excellence with an always-on agentic AI solution
Help developers and site reliability engineers (SREs) minimize alert fatigue with a collaborative, intelligent agent that maintains systems reliability while reducing manual intervention.
- Empower engineering resources to focus on developing new features and enhancing existing systems by offloading mundane tasks to the agent. Automate repetitive and manual tasks such as monitoring production systems around the clock, responding to incidents in real time, and autonomously troubleshooting issues as they arise.
- Proactively enhance application availability by identifying and mitigating disruptions. Minimize downtime costs and lower mean time to resolution (MTTR) with Azure SRE Agent. With human oversight, SRE Agent learns and helps overcome novel issues quickly, benefiting financial, customer, and operational aspects holistically.
- Optimize resource usage in cloud environments with SRE agents that automate monitoring, incident response, and root cause analysis, reducing waste and operational costs.
FEATURES
Enhance the reliability and performance of your Azure resources
Accelerated root-cause analysis
Save time and effort by using an agent to diagnose root causes of app issues by analyzing metrics and logs.
Automated incident response
Automatically respond to Azure Monitor alerts or third-party incident management systems with initial analysis.
Intelligent infrastructure insights
Deploy agents to detect anomalies and patterns by reviewing multiple data sources, analyzing real-time data about Azure resources, and managing resources across multiple subscriptions.
Automated mitigation
Proactively detect and mitigate common issues to increase uptime. Agents can autonomously execute tasks on your behalf, with your approval.
Azure best practices
Analyze diagnostic data, logs, and metrics from your Azure resources to detect anomalies, diagnose root causes, and recommend or execute fixes—always with user approval—to improve reliability.

Pricing
Scalable, usage-based billing
Azure Agent Unit (AAU) measures the work of Azure-hosted autonomous agents, like the SRE Agent. AAUs are billed on a pay-as-you-go basis. The SRE Agent charge includes two components: a fixed, always-on flow for continuous monitoring and a usage-based active flow for incident mitigation and other tasks where the AI is actively engaged. Total cost is a combination of the fixed baseline cost and incremental usage-based costs.
The pricing for Azure SRE Agent is currently in preview and is subject to change when it’s generally available.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
- Azure SRE Agent is an AI-powered service that helps operations teams monitor, diagnose, and resolve issues in Azure-hosted applications to improve reliability, performance, and operational efficiency.
- SRE Agent continuously monitors Azure resources, detects anomalies, and uses AI to suggest or execute mitigations. It supports natural language commands and interoperates with tools like Azure Monitor and third-party tools like PagerDuty.
- SRE Agent reduces downtime, suppresses transient alerts, accelerates root-cause analysis, and automates incident response—helping teams meet service-level agreements (SLAs) and reduce operational costs.
- Explore the product documentation to learn more about SRE Agent.
- Each agent is billed at 4 Azure Agent Units per hour as the baseline cost. Each task the agent executes is billed at an additional 0.25 Azure Agent Units per second as usage-based cost. Total cost is a combination of the fixed baseline cost and incremental usage-based costs. Please refer to the pricing page for the unit price of Azure Agent Unit in your region.
- Azure Agent Unit (AAU) is a standardized consumption unit that represents the agentic work performed by Azure-hosted autonomous agents, including the Azure SRE Agent.
