The document provides an overview of the SRE Assistant Agent, a tool designed to assist Site Reliability Engineers with operational tasks and monitoring, particularly in Kubernetes environments. Built using Google's Agent Development Kit (ADK), the agent automates tasks, provides system insights, and streamlines incident response through natural language interactions. It integrates with various tools and services, including Kubernetes for resource management and AWS for cost analysis. The document outlines the prerequisites, installation steps, and usage instructions for running the agent locally or via Docker, with a focus on setting up necessary environment variables and configuring access credentials for Kubernetes and AWS.
Additionally, the document details the structure of the repository, highlighting key components such as the main agent logic, Kubernetes and AWS sub-agents, and Slack bot integration. It explains the available functions for interacting with Kubernetes resources and AWS services, and provides guidance on setting up and running the Slack bot. The document also covers security considerations, session and user ID management, and code formatting and linting practices using Ruff and pre-commit hooks.
