Autonomous AI triages DevOps issues and pushes code to repositories, while checking security

Re:Invent Amazon is all-in on agentic AI when it comes to software development, and it sincerely hopes you are too, based on Tuesday's AWS re:Invent keynote. 

AWS chief Matt Garman announced a trio of new "frontier agents" with a software development focus on stage in Las Vegas on Tuesday morning: One that makes its Kiro agentic AI IDE more autonomous, another it says will make DevOps a less daunting process, and a third that focuses on securing code across the development lifecycle. 

AWS claims the vibe coding IDE Kiro is designed to avoid all the pitfalls of letting AI do your development, like surprise drive deletions and database wipeouts. Users will have to put a lot of trust in those claims. 

Aside from those worst-case scenarios, AWS is fully aware that AI coding tools have "introduced new friction" into developers' workloads.
