What you'll learn

Coding agents act on whatever AWS account, Region, and credential the session resolves, and they don’t know which environments other teams depend on. In this course, Controlling What an Agent Can Do in Your Cloud Environment, you’ll gain the ability to match an agent’s context, automation, and run limits to the risk of the task. First, you’ll explore what an agent must be told and verified about your environment before it starts. Next, you’ll discover where automating cloud work stops paying. Finally, you’ll learn how to set constraints on an agent’s run that match its blast radius. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of agent context and run control needed to match an agent’s context, automation, and run limits to the risk of the task.
