Post-re:Invent Build Session: Automate AWS AIOps with an Unofficial API Client Link to heading

The dust is settling after AWS re:Invent. The keynotes on AI and autonomous operations have sparked ideas, and now comes the best part: the build phase. While everyone is energized to test new concepts, there’s a friction point with AWS’s own new AIOps capability—the DevOps Agent is currently accessible only through a web browser.

To bridge that gap right now, I’m releasing the devopsagent-api Python package on PyPI and GitHub. This unofficial client provides immediate, programmatic boto3-style access to the DevOps Agent, which is in public preview, letting you automate today what you learned about yesterday.

Build While the Inspiration is Fresh Link to heading

The DevOps Agent represents the autonomous future showcased at re:Invent. However, being confined to the console clicks limits building. This package translates the web app’s functionality into a clean Python API, giving you the raw capabilities of the backend service to integrate into your scripts and tools.

Key Features for Your Toolbox Link to heading

• boto3-Familiar Patterns: Use intuitive Python methods to query and manage agents, fitting seamlessly into existing AWS automation workflows.
• Full Functional Access: Go beyond manual UI interactions. Automate every task and access the underlying data structures that power the console.
• Preview Automation, Now: This package is specifically valuable because the official AWS service is in public preview, meaning native boto3 support may still be on the roadmap.

A Transparent Note on This Build Link to heading

This is an unofficial API client, built by analyzing the network interactions from the AWS web console and structured into a robust library with assistance from Claude. It is not affiliated with AWS but serves as a crucial automation bridge during the service’s preview phase.
