Unplanned downtime costs manufacturers $1.4 trillion annually, equivalent to Spain's entire GDP, and the root causes are always the same three compounding problems: disconnected data streams from machines on the same production line, expert knowledge locked in senior staff that junior operators can't access in real time, and delayed visibility that turns small issues into catastrophic failures. 🏭

The proposed solution architecture tackles all three at once. The AWS Garnet framework acts as a unified data lake, ingesting streams from disparate IoT devices through AWS IoT Core and Lambda, normalizing them into a standard data model via NGSI, and storing everything in S3 so all five machines on a production line finally speak the same language. 🔗 API Gateway handles bidirectional actions, letting the system not just read sensor data but push real-time configuration updates back to the production line, like reducing temperature or adjusting torque on a cookie mixer.

The AI layer is where the skill gap gets solved. Structured manufacturing data is used to fine-tune a custom model via SageMaker, which is then imported directly into Amazon Bedrock using instructed fine-tuning, delivering a conversational web app powered by Bedrock's Converse API that any floor operator can query in natural language, even across multiple languages. ⚙️🤖 Every five minutes, Step Functions trigger an automated analysis cycle that feeds the fine-tuned model with live sensor data, generates severity-ranked recommendations, and fires SNS notifications to operators before problems escalate.

What makes the architecture genuinely powerful is the continuous learning flywheel: every operator thumbs-up or thumbs-down on a Bedrock response feeds back into the fine-tuning pipeline, making the model progressively smarter with every shift. 🔄 The entire implementation, from raw data to conversational AI on the floor, was built and deployed in just seven days.

Observability is not a tool you buy once and forget - it is a continuous operational discipline built around a detect, investigate, remediate, and assess cycle that keeps applications healthy and teams fast. 🔍 The four observability signals work as a complete team: metrics tell you a problem exists, traces locate where it is occurring, logs explain why it happened, and profiles show how code behaves under load. Without all four, you only have partial situational awareness.

The architecture centers on Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus and Amazon Managed Grafana working together, with OpenTelemetry collectors as the glue. 🛠️ Application code is instrumented with the Prometheus SDK, metrics are scraped by an OTEL collector running in the EKS cluster, then pushed via remote write to Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus, which provides fully serverless, multi-AZ PromQL querying at scale. From there, Grafana ingests the data for dashboards, alerting, and trace correlation without teams having to manage any of the underlying infrastructure themselves.

Small configuration decisions compound into massive cost and reliability gains. 💡 Using PrivateLink and IAM for secure data transfer, tuning scrape intervals and relabel configurations to keep only relevant labels, running multiple Prometheus containers for high availability, and setting appropriate data retention periods all directly reduce cardinality-driven costs while improving signal quality. On the Grafana side, the most emphasized best practice is deceptively simple: every dashboard should tell one clear story and answer one specific question, keeping teams focused on SLO and SLA targets rather than drowning in noise.

Financial services development has three chronic pain points that compound over time: technical debt from outdated dependencies, compliance burdens that slow every release cycle, and security vulnerabilities from unpatched open-source libraries. 🏦 Kiro, AWS's agentic IDE, addresses all three through a spec-driven workflow where developers write requirements, design architecture, and task breakdowns in one place, and Kiro compiles those specs directly into production-ready code without any manual translation in between.

The governance layer is where Kiro genuinely earns its keep in regulated environments. 🛡️ Global agent steering lets teams define a single plain-English rules file on their workstation that automatically applies to every project, enforcing standards like using stable library versions, banning hardcoded secrets, and following org-wide guidelines across all agents at once. Agent hooks take the manual toil out of compliance: rather than developers manually updating documentation every time an API endpoint changes or running CloudFormation Guard checks by hand, hooks fire automatically on file events and handle it all, including policy-as-code validation against CFN Guard, Kubernetes configs, and Terraform plans.

Connectivity is handled through the unified AWS MCP server, which connects Kiro to org data sources, enabling environment variable sharing across teams without leaking secrets. 🔌 The Kiro CLI, rebranded from QCLI, introduces custom agents through a simple two-step process: a /agentcreate command generates a JSON config where you specify which MCP server, prompt, and steering file the agent should use. Purpose-built agents mean each one carries only the context it needs, which directly avoids hitting context window limits on complex FinServ workflows. Delta Airlines, using Kiro in production, reported 94% developer satisfaction scores and delivered their first intelligent developer portal with developers focusing on architecture rather than implementation details.

AI has moved well beyond chat. Today's agents plan, cooperate, and fix real complex problems just like a team of engineers working together - and this talk is one of the most hands-on, production-focused treatments of multi-agent systems at re:Invent 2025. 🤖

Every production agent is built from three core components: a Brain (the LLM doing the reasoning), a Scaffold (the agent platform), and Memory (the knowledge base). AWS Strands Agents ties all three together, supporting both orchestrated workflows, where a lead agent delegates to specialized sub-agents, and swarm-based collaboration, where multiple agents self-organize and hand off dynamically without a central controller. 🧠 A real industrial troubleshooting demo pulled Jira tickets by priority, analyzed issues against runbooks stored in a hybrid search knowledge base, then used MCP servers to actually execute fixes in production environments, not just suggest them.

Enterprise knowledge quality is what separates useful agents from hallucinating ones. Static and dynamic enterprise data must be properly chunked, embedded, and indexed with hybrid search to give agents the context they need for accurate decisions, and every data source must be wrapped in security and access controls so agents can only act on what they are authorized to see. 🔒

Safety in production requires three guardrail layers working together: rule-based filters for fast, deterministic blocking of keywords and PII; metric-based guardrails that score hallucination risk and response quality; and LLM-based semantic guardrails that catch subtle prompt injection and jailbreak attempts before they ever reach the main model. ⚠️ The golden production rule is to start with a single-agent workflow, validate it thoroughly, then scale to swarms gradually, because production-ready agents demand engineering rigor, not just AI magic.

Most enterprises have internal tools, custom APIs, and proprietary domain-specific languages that general-purpose AI models have simply never seen before. The gap between what your AI knows and what your org actually runs on is a real productivity blocker - and this talk is a practical, demo-driven blueprint for closing it using Kiro. 🧠

The core insight is that Kiro learns your environment through two mechanisms working together. MCP (Model Context Protocol) connects Kiro to real-time systems and live documentation so it can access the latest version of your internal libraries on demand, rather than relying on stale training data. Steering files are plain-text rule sets that define your org's conventions, coding standards, and custom syntax guidance, telling Kiro exactly how to behave in your specific environment. Neither tool alone is sufficient - MCP gives Kiro the knowledge, and steering gives it the judgment to apply that knowledge correctly.

The live demo made this concrete using "MathJSON," a fictional JSON-based math syntax that no LLM on earth has been trained on. Kiro started by failing to parse and generate it correctly, which is exactly what you'd expect. The presenter then iteratively refined a steering file to describe when MathJSON should be used and where to find the documentation, connected a live documentation source via MCP, and ran the same task again - Kiro successfully generated accurate MathJSON output. The whole process took minutes, not days. 🎯

What makes this approach genuinely scalable is that the steering files are living documents stored alongside your code. As your language or library evolves, the steering file evolves with it, and vector and semantic databases can optimize retrieval for large or complex documentation sets. The result: your org's unique proprietary stack is no longer a blocker for AI assistance - Kiro becomes a developer that speaks your language.

Multicloud is not a technology preference - it is a business strategy. Organizations land in multicloud environments for fundamentally different reasons: some choose it deliberately for flexibility and access to best-of-breed AI services, while others arrive through regulatory requirements, M&A activity, or executive mandates. Understanding which driver is at play determines everything about how you approach it. 🌐

The AWS Multicloud Readiness Framework provides the structure that prevents multicloud from becoming what the talk candidly calls "multi-chaos," moving organizations across four progressive layers - Enterprise Strategy, Architecture, AI, and Governance - mapped to three deployment models:
- A Discrete model keeps clouds independent with minimal integration complexity.
- An Integrated model has workloads interfacing across clouds for shared outcomes.
- A Flexible model is fully cloud-agnostic, with workloads moving based on need, requiring abstraction layers to remain manageable.

Each layer demands deliberate governance, not ad hoc decisions. 🏗️ At the foundation level this means consistent security policies, unified observability with OpenTelemetry, and multi-cloud FinOps using the FOCUS specification - a cost standard agreed upon by AWS, Azure, and GCP that consolidates billing data into a single format regardless of which cloud generated it. The golden takeaway is simple: start with business outcomes, then let cloud strategy follow. The biggest trap is letting available services or vendor capabilities drive strategy rather than actual business needs. ☁️

The numbers tell the story immediately. Traditional ultrasonic welding inspection covered 10,000 points per vehicle. Audi's AI-powered system on AWS now checks 5 million welding spots per day - a 500x leap that no human-driven process can match. 🏎️ This was built on Audi's Digital Production Platform (DPP), a 5-year collaboration with the Volkswagen Group that connects 120+ factories to the cloud for centralized data management, reducing complexity and lowering production costs at group scale.

The resistance spot welding architecture flows from shop floor to insight: AWS IoT Greengrass acts as the edge gateway, data moves through MQTT and Kinesis, and SageMaker handles model training and continuous retraining in the cloud automatically. Results are stored in a time-series database and surfaced on a real-time dashboard showing exactly where defects are occurring across production. ⚙️ The whole infrastructure is managed as code, which is what makes rolling it out to additional plants systematic rather than a manual project each time.

The second use case, weld splatter detection, tackles a completely different constraint: speed. 🎯 Workers previously had to manually inspect 500 welding points and remove spatters in just 20 seconds before a car body moved to the next station - a dirty, repetitive bottleneck. Eight 20MP cameras now capture the entire car body, an AI model running inference on an on-premise GPU edge cluster via Kubernetes returns results in under 20 seconds, and a flashlight system guides workers to only the 100–200 points that actually need attention, dramatically cutting rework time.

The key learnings are practical and transferable: data quality is the foundation of every successful AI use case, composable and refactorable architecture is essential for long-term sustainability, and the most important cultural lesson is to start small on one line, prove the value, then scale gradually. 🤝 The DPP partnership has been extended for another 5 years, with the next phase focused on deeper integration, experience, and data layers - with 450 active AI use cases now running across the factory network.

Netflix spends close to $1 billion a year on AWS, which means a single "winning" A/B test can quietly generate hundreds of thousands of dollars in hidden infrastructure costs that nobody sees until the bill arrives. 💸 The core insight here is a mindset shift: treat the AWS bill as an experiment metric, just like engagement or retention. That reframe turns cloud spend from a reactive surprise into a proactive data point sitting right next to every product decision.

The framework has two components that work in sequence. Attribution uses distributed tracing to measure request latency, payload size, volume, and error rates across microservices, identifying which specific experiment caused which infrastructure change - a genuinely hard problem given sampling gaps, data inconsistencies, and the sheer scale of Netflix's microservice mesh. Estimation then takes those attributed signals through a three-step ML pipeline: learn from production baselines, simulate the treatment at full scale, and aggregate the cost delta. A real example from the talk: the "Smarter Prefetch" experiment showed a 40% increase in request volume on a single metadata service, and the estimation pipeline projected a $750,000 cost increase if rolled out globally - information that now appears alongside the business metric in the experiment dashboard before anyone ships.

The operational uses go beyond experiment review. Capacity planning teams use the framework to project compute needs before rollouts, shift-left validation catches features that accidentally depend on legacy or improperly scaled systems, and cost projections are tied directly to member experience metrics so engineering teams can see the full trade-off in one view. 📊 The key reliability lessons: trace completeness is non-negotiable, ML models need continuous retraining as infrastructure evolves, and robust fallback mechanisms ensure estimates are always available even when tracing data is incomplete. The next frontier is extending the same framework to storage costs, batch services, and generative AI workloads, where cost complexity is only growing.
