Expert Statements
Shannon Kalvar, IDC Senior Research Director
“Named role agents, including AI SRE, are the first step to AI-fueled operations. These agents need access to a broader context, particularly heterogeneous estates, along with the ability to both learn from their own action and reflect on those actions after the fact to begin to create the human-directed operating model of the future.”
Baha Azarmi, General Manager, Observability, Elastic
“Most Observability agents only get smarter by scraping more data. Elastic nightshift AI SRE gets smarter by paying attention to how engineers work through investigations, and by checking its own homework once an incident is closed. That is how it keeps up with production without running up a token bill nobody wants to see.”
