IBM Instana Introduces AI-Powered Incident Investigation
IBM has announced the preview release of Instana Intelligent Incident Investigation, a new AI-driven feature designed to speed up incident detection and resolution. Powered by agentic AI, the system enables real-time analysis of IT incidents, offering quick insights into the root cause, impact, and resolution steps with just a single click.
Why It Matters
In today’s cloud-native, hybrid IT environments, system complexity and data overload make it challenging to identify issues promptly. Downtime can cost organizations over $300,000 per hour, making speed critical. Instana’s new capability promises to reduce investigation time by up to 80%, transforming how IT teams respond to outages.
Smarter Incident Handling with Agentic AI
With the new feature:
- Users can launch an AI investigation instantly after an incident is detected
- The AI agent builds a hypothesis, tracks root causes, and presents its findings in real-time.
- On-call engineers (SREs) can review and validate the AI’s reasoning, saving time and manual effort.
Key Benefits
Faster Remediation
Instana provides a step-by-step runbook based on its findings, allowing engineers to focus on resolving the issue while maintaining complete control over the actions.
Built-in Automation
Instana generates ready-to-use Bash scripts for every action step. These can be exported to GitHub for easy deployment.
Instant Documentation
With one click, users can generate a comprehensive incident summary, including the root cause, impact, and resolution—a significant time-saver for reporting.
Award-Winning Platform
Instana is more than just fast—it’s also recognized. It won the 2025 TrustRadius Top Rated award in multiple categories, including Observability and APM, and was named CRN’s 2024 Product of the Year.
- Real-time visibility: Captures 100% of traces without sampling
- Quick setup: Easy installation with auto-discovery of apps
- Deployment options: Available in SaaS and on-premises versions
- Transparent pricing: No hidden fees
IBM Instana is redefining intelligent operations by making incident investigation and remediation faster, more innovative, and more reliable.

OpenAI and UK Government Join Forces to Drive AI-Led Growth
OpenAI and the UK Government have signed a strategic partnership aimed at accelerating the use of AI across the public and private sectors in the UK. The agreement supports the goals of the UK’s AI Opportunities Action Plan, focusing on shared prosperity, infrastructure, and responsible innovation.
Partnership Goals
The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), signed by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and UK Minister for Technology Kwasi Kwarteng, outlines a shared commitment to exploring how AI can benefit society and the economy. This includes using AI to support public services, assist small businesses, and improve government efficiency.
The partnership also includes plans to:
- Explore how advanced AI models can help civil servants and citizens
- Invest in infrastructure for sovereign AI capabilities in the UK
- Expand technical knowledge sharing through the UK AI Safety Institute
- Support security-focused research collaborations
Strong Presence in the UK
OpenAI highlighted the UK as one of the top three markets globally for both paid subscribers and API developers. British businesses, such as NatWest, Virgin Atlantic, and Synthesia, as well as institutions like Oxford University, are already utilizing OpenAI’s tools to unlock economic potential.
OpenAI’s first international office opened in London in 2023, and its team has grown to over 100 employees. OpenAI also announced plans to expand further in the UK later this year.
AI in Action Across the UK
OpenAI’s technology is already at work within the UK Government:
- A GOV.UK chatbot helps thousands of small businesses access support information.
- Whitehall’s AI assistant ‘Humphrey’ speeds up admin tasks for civil servants.
- The tool ‘Consult’ utilizes AI to categorize public responses during policymaking, reducing weeks of manual work to just minutes.
What Leaders Are Saying
Peter Kyle emphasized the importance of partnerships in keeping the UK at the forefront of AI innovation. “This will bring high-paid tech jobs, better infrastructure, and control over how AI develops for our country,” he said.
Sam Altman added, “AI is a key technology for nation-building, and Britain is well-positioned to lead with its strong scientific legacy and clear vision.”
This strategic move strengthens the UK’s position as a global hub for AI development while ensuring its responsible and impactful use across society.

Amazon Launches AgentCore to Accelerate AI Agent Deployment
Amazon has announced the preview release of AgentCore, a new suite of services under Amazon Bedrock designed to help developers build, scale, and manage AI agents with ease. These services simplify the transition from prototype to production-ready agentic applications by handling complex infrastructure needs.
The Rise of Agentic AI
AI agents, powered by foundation models, are evolving rapidly. Unlike traditional AI that responds to user prompts, modern agents can now reason, plan, act, learn, and adapt to user goals with minimal human oversight. This new generation is supported by open-source tools such as CrewAI, LangGraph, LlamaIndex, and Strands Agents; however, scaling these systems to enterprise-level users remains a challenge.
Introducing Amazon Bedrock AgentCore
AgentCore addresses the most common hurdles by offering a comprehensive, modular infrastructure that supports any framework or model. Key services include:
AgentCore Runtime
Runs agents in fast, serverless environments with session isolation and support for long-running, multimodal workloads.
AgentCore Memory
Provides session and long-term memory, enabling agents to utilize past context to enhance performance and learning.
AgentCore Observability
Gives step-by-step visual tracking, metadata tagging, debugging tools, and performance insights for agent workflows.
AgentCore Identity
Enables secure access to AWS and third-party platforms, such as GitHub, Slack, and Salesforce, with user consent.
AgentCore Gateway
Turns existing APIs and AWS Lambda functions into agent-ready tools, supporting protocols like MCP.
AgentCore Browser
Offers managed browser instances to help scale automated web-based tasks.
AgentCore Code Interpreter
Runs agent-generated code in an isolated, secure environment.
