  "account": "The TReNDS Center at Georgia State University, a joint center of Georgia State University, Georgia Institute of Technology, and Emory University, has developed an automated root-cause analysis system using Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Amazon Bedrock. The team uses Amazon CloudWatch subscription filters to detect error-level patterns in logs sent from their applications running on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS). When an error is detected, a Lambda function is triggered to run a Strands Agent powered by Amazon Bedrock. This agent investigates the error by pulling surrounding log context, reading source code from GitHub, and producing a structured analysis. The architecture combines CloudWatch subscription filters, AWS Lambda, Strands Agents SDK, and Amazon Bedrock to automate the root-cause investigation process. The use of Amazon Bedrock allows for AI-powered root-cause analysis without sending data to external endpoints, ensuring data residency and compliance with HIPAA requirements for health-related research data.",
  "summary": "TReNDS, a research center at Georgia State University, built an agentic AI pipeline on Amazon Bedrock and the open-source Strands Agents SDK that automatically investigates production errors in real time, reducing root-cause analysis from 15 to 30 minutes of manual work to under 60 seconds.",
