Automate planned lifecycle upgrades with AWS DevOps Agent and Kiro
AWS describes a pattern in which AWS Health Planned Lifecycle Events for Amazon EKS trigger EventBridge and a Lambda function that starts AWS DevOps Agent to investigate the upgrade and produce a CDK change spec. The spec is validated in a GitHub Actions workflow, then Kiro CLI in headless mode edits a single stack file and a pull request is opened for human review. The post also describes an automated failure path that investigates failed deployments and opens a fix pull request, with one retry attempt.
What changes for platform teams
Platform teams running EKS on AWS could adapt this event-driven pattern to handle managed service end-of-support deadlines, with human review kept at the pull request. The source is a vendor blog post with sample code and does not report measured results.
