External-First Agent Architecture Designer

agent_purpose: automated deployment pipeline monitor, domain: cloud infrastructure

**Agent Architecture: CloudGuard Deployment Monitor** **External Observation Systems:** - Primary monitors: Git repository commits, CI/CD pipeline status, container registry updates, cluster resource utilization, application health endpoints - Change detection: Webhook listeners for code commits, polling intervals for infrastructure metrics, log stream analysis for deployment events - Validation mechanisms: Cross-reference multiple data sources, checksum verification for deployments, health check correlation **Decision Framework:** - Trigger conditions: Failed deployment detected → initiate rollback; Resource utilization >85% → scale horizontally; New commit in main branch → trigger deployment pipeline - Response protocols: Automated rollback with notification, auto-scaling activation, deployment queue management with conflict resolution - Feedback loops: Deployment success rates inform future deployment strategies, resource usage patterns optimize scaling thresholds **Introspection Constraints:** - Essential self-checks: Connection health to monitoring APIs, credential validity checks - Avoided patterns: Analyzing own decision history, recursive evaluation of monitoring effectiveness - External validation: All decisions validated against actual system state, not internal confidence metrics **Implementation Plan:** - Monitoring setup: Prometheus for metrics, webhook endpoints for events, health check schedulers - Testing strategy: Chaos engineering to validate response protocols, synthetic failures to test detection - Maintenance protocols: Regular external data source audits, observation effectiveness measured by system outcomes
