Learners will gain the ability to build an event-driven solution that automatically investigates AWS Systems Manager patch failures using AWS DevOps Agent. The course covers capturing patch failure events across multiple accounts and regions via Amazon EventBridge, enriching failures with SSM command output and instance metadata through AWS Lambda, and triggering autonomous root cause analysis that correlates logs, configuration state, and infrastructure changes. Participants will learn to deploy a centralized architecture that eliminates manual log correlation, reducing investigation time from hours to minutes for patch cycle failures spanning hundreds of managed nodes.
