Hephaisto — Kubernetes incident response with brakes

hephaisto.dev Observed source
Editorial interest 86/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

Hephaisto is an incident-response agent for Kubernetes that investigates alerts, proposes bounded actions, verifies their results, and escalates when it cannot prove a fix.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-04 issue.

Field notes

The documented workflow separates diagnosis, planning, and execution: the model gathers evidence and proposes a structured action, while ordinary C# code handles the closed action list. A fresh install starts in observe mode with no actionable namespaces or enabled action types. The page also describes three independent kill-switch arms and verification checkpoints at 60 seconds, five minutes, and 15 minutes, with rollback and escalation when the stated predicate fails.
