PD Automation Runner: Automation That Finally Reaches Your On-Prem Stack

PagerDuty has introduced PD Automation Runner in Early Access to extend automated incident response to on-premises and self-hosted environments, beginning with Kubernetes. Deployed within a customer’s infrastructure, the lightweight component initiates outbound connections to PagerDuty, allowing Workflow Actions and the SRE Agent to authenticate locally, gather diagnostics, execute approved remediations, and return results without requiring inbound ports, IP allow lists, or persistent external access. The company describes a workflow in which incidents can trigger automated pod analysis, log review, historical incident comparison, and recommended fixes that responders can approve for local execution. PagerDuty says the runner also captures diagnostic and remediation data to improve future SRE Agent recommendations across cloud and on-premises systems. Support for additional self-hosted tools, including Splunk, Grafana, and Prometheus, is planned.
