Course Outline

Foundations of Agentic Systems in Production

  • Core agentic architectures, including control loops, tool integration, memory management, and orchestration layers
  • Agent lifecycle management: from development and deployment to sustained operational execution
  • Operational challenges associated with managing agents at production scale for government applications

Infrastructure and Deployment Models

  • Implementation of agents within containerized ecosystems and cloud environments
  • Scaling strategies: horizontal versus vertical scaling, concurrency management, and throttling protocols
  • Orchestration of multi-agent systems and workload distribution optimization

Monitoring and Observability

  • Essential performance indicators: latency, success rates, memory consumption, and agent call depth
  • End-to-end tracing of agent activities and dependency graphs
  • Implementation of observability frameworks utilizing Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, and Grafana

Logging, Auditing, and Compliance

  • Centralized logging infrastructure and structured event data collection
  • Ensuring compliance and auditability within agentic workflow processes
  • Construction of immutable audit trails and replay capabilities for diagnostic purposes

Performance Tuning and Resource Optimization

  • Minimization of inference overhead and optimization of agent orchestration cycles
  • Utilization of model caching and lightweight embedding techniques to accelerate data retrieval
  • Execution of load testing and stress simulation scenarios for AI pipeline validation

Cost Control and Governance

  • Analysis of cost drivers: API expenditures, memory utilization, compute resources, and external integration fees
  • Tracking agent-level expenses and establishing internal chargeback mechanisms
  • Implementation of automation policies to mitigate unauthorized agent proliferation and idle resource consumption

CI/CD and Rollout Strategies for Agents

  • Integration of agent deployment pipelines into continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) frameworks
  • Methodologies for testing, version control, and rollback procedures during iterative updates
  • Deployment of progressive rollout techniques and secure release mechanisms

Failure Recovery and Reliability Engineering

  • Architecture design for fault tolerance and graceful system degradation
  • Application of retry, timeout, and circuit breaker patterns to enhance agent reliability
  • Incident response protocols and post-incident analysis frameworks specific to AI operations

Capstone Project

  • Development and deployment of an agentic AI system equipped with comprehensive monitoring and cost tracking capabilities for government use
  • Simulation of load conditions, performance measurement, and resource usage optimization
  • Presentation of final system architecture and operational dashboards to stakeholders
