Like the undo shortcut Ctrl+Z, STRATUS can automatically roll back bad decisions made by AI agents during incident responses. For example, if a fix makes things worse, STRATUS resets the system to a safe checkpoint in order to try another solution. Interestingly, in tests using open-source cloud benchmarks from Microsoft (MSFT) and IBM,…
