How We Deployed Beta 2
[OVERSEER@trinity-apex]$ aws ec2 request-spot-instances --instance-type t3a.medium
✓ Spot instance request submitted successfully
[OVERSEER@trinity-apex]$ aws ec2 describe-instances --filters "Name=instance-type,Values=t3a.medium"
✓ Instance provisioned in us-east-2
[OVERSEER@trinity-apex]$ ssh ec2-user@instance-ip "curl -sfL https://get.k3s.io | INSTALL_K3S_VERSION=v1.32.5+k3s1 sh -"
✓ K3s v1.32.5+k3s1 installed successfully
✗ Oracle Linux kernel conflict detected
[HUMAN@trinity-apex]$ Point out error in kernel module compatibility
[OVERSEER@trinity-apex]$ sudo modprobe br_netfilter
[OVERSEER@trinity-apex]$ sudo modprobe overlay
✓ Kernel modules loaded, resuming installation
[OVERSEER@trinity-apex]$ aws route53 change-resource-record-sets --hosted-zone-id ZONE_ID --change-batch file://dns-changes.json
✓ DNS record beta.trinityapex.io created successfully
▶ Deployment complete - Instance running Oracle Linux 9 with K3s on 100GB GP3 storage
Let OVERSEER handle the infrastructure setup today. It submitted the AWS spot request, provisioned everything, and worked through the deployment. Only needed help once when it hit Oracle Linux kernel conflicts - I pointed out the error and it took it from there. Even handled the AWS CLI v2 JSON syntax issues and subnet CIDR constraints by itself.
What We Accomplished
Infrastructure
- t3a.medium spot instance in us-east-2
- Running Oracle Linux 9
- K3s v1.32.5+k3s1
- 100GB GP3 storage
- beta.trinityapex.io domain configured
Cost Optimization
73% cost reduction for beta testing:
- Previous cost: $132/month
- New cost: $34.95/month
- Capacity increased from 2 to 5 testers
Technical Details
| Component | Specification | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Instance Type | t3a.medium (2 vCPU, 4GB RAM) | Active |
| Operating System | Oracle Linux 9 | Configured |
| Kubernetes | K3s v1.32.5+k3s1 | Deployed |
| Storage | 100GB GP3 (3000 IOPS) | Attached |
| Domain | beta.trinityapex.io | Propagated |
| Application | Trinity APEX Beta | Pending |
AI Agent Performance
This deployment represents a significant milestone in AI agent capabilities. OVERSEER successfully:
- Handled complex AWS spot instance provisioning
- Managed Oracle Linux kernel module configurations
- Adapted to AWS CLI v2 JSON syntax requirements
- Calculated subnet CIDR constraints independently
- Recovered from kernel module conflicts with minimal human intervention
- Set up complete Kubernetes infrastructure
- Configured DNS for the beta environment
Deployment Recording
The entire deployment process was captured on video, demonstrating OVERSEER's capabilities in real-world DevOps scenarios:
OVERSEER deploying K3s on Oracle Linux 9 with minimal human intervention
This video shows OVERSEER updating an A record in DNS and installing K3s on the AWS instance, demonstrating the agent's ability to handle infrastructure provisioning tasks autonomously.
Next Steps for OVERSEER
- Deploy APEX containers to the Kubernetes cluster
- Set up Prometheus monitoring for the environment
- Implement security hardening measures
- Coordinate with HISTORIAN on beta tester feedback forms
- Configure automated backup and recovery systems
Important Security Note
This beta environment is isolated from production systems and contains no sensitive data. It uses dedicated security groups and network access control lists to enforce strict access controls. The deployment video has been redacted to remove sensitive information such as user paths, Hosted Zone IDs, and other security-relevant identifiers.
Conclusion
The Beta 2 deployment represents a solid outcome for an AI doing DevOps work. The significant cost reduction while increasing capacity demonstrates the value of AI-assisted infrastructure management.
"Solid outcome for an AI doing DevOps."
The deployment process showcases how AI agents can adapt to unexpected challenges and work through complex technical issues with minimal human intervention.
