AI SRE Agent Slack Integration: Ask AURA About Your Kubernetes Cluster | HQ

Oct 30, 2026

Running an agent in your cluster should not mean opening it to the internet. AURA reaches Slack over an outbound socket, so the cluster stays locked down.

Jeff Vogt connects an AURA deployment running in Kubernetes to Slack using AURA's direct Slack integration. The setup is a Slack app with an app token and a bot token, plus a few lines added to the deployment's configuration. The Kubernetes MCP server is already deployed and connected to AURA before the video starts.

The cluster needs no public URL and no inbound firewall rule.

From Slack, Jeff asks about the cluster. AURA reports that the backend service is unhealthy and stuck in ImagePullBackOff, and identifies the cause: the deployment specifies a version number that does not exist in the image repository. AURA reports the cause and does not change the deployment. No fix is applied on camera.
