Use cases

Run repeatable operations autonomously

Hyground executes the operational jobs your team runs manually, on schedule or on demand: CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) impact assessments, change risk reviews, cluster health checks, cost anomaly triage, config preparation, operational reporting.

Real workflow examples

These are repeatable operations jobs your team executes manually today. With Hyground Skills and Scheduling, they run autonomously on a cadence.

Scheduled: every night at 2am

Nightly CVE Impact Assessment

Hyground scans running container images against the latest CVE database, cross-references your current deployments and service criticality, assesses blast radius, and delivers a prioritised impact report with evidence and recommended actions before the engineering team starts work. Slack summary + Jira tickets for critical findings

Scheduled: every Monday 7am

Cost Anomaly Triage

Hyground queries cloud spend data, correlates cost spikes against deployment changes, traffic patterns, and scaling events, identifies the root cause of unexpected growth, and delivers a structured triage report to engineering leadership.

Scheduled: every day at 7:55am

Cluster Health Check & Morning Briefing

Hyground executes a full cluster health check: node status, resource utilisation, pod restart rates, certificate expiry, pending alerts. It delivers a structured briefing to your team channel before anyone opens their laptop.

Ask in plain English. Hyground executes

Operational jobs start as a question. Any team member can ask: SRE, platform engineer, or engineering manager. Hyground investigates across your connected systems and returns evidence-backed findings.

Security

Which of our running container images have critical CVEs published in the last 7 days? Assess blast radius by affected service and environment.

Cost

Which services have increased cloud spend by more than 20% compared to last week? Correlate against deployment changes and traffic patterns.

Change risk

Is it safe to release the payments-service right now? Review current cluster health, recent error rates, open incidents, and similar past deployments.

Capacity

Which services are approaching memory or CPU limits? Collect trend data for the past 72 hours and flag any that will breach thresholds within 48 hours.

Governed Autonomy

Hyground operates read-only by default. It investigates, collects evidence, and returns structured findings without modifying your systems. When an action is warranted (rolling back a deployment, scaling a service, creating a ticket), Hyground recommends it with evidence to the human sitting in the drivers seat.

Every investigation is fully auditable. You can see exactly which systems were queried, what evidence was collected, what reasoning led to the conclusion.

The building blocks behind operational automation

Skills codify how your best operators work. Scheduling runs them on a cadence. Triggers wire any external system to that capability.

Skills

Repeatable operational playbooks written in plain text. Define once, execute with a single prompt. Codify how your best operators work and share across the team.

Scheduling

Execute operational jobs on a cadence. Cron expression, one-off datetime, or an agent that offers to schedule a recurring request mid-conversation.

Triggers

One webhook URL accepts JSON from anywhere - Alertmanager, Grafana, PagerDuty, Datadog, GitHub, Jira, ServiceNow or curl. Two LLM gates decide whether it warrants an RCA.
