Implementing synthetic monitoring using Amazon Nova Act
How-To How to actually use this
What changed: Amazon published a guide showing how to build synthetic monitoring workflows using Nova Act agents via Bedrock AgentCore instead of traditional UI scripts.
How to use it:
- Set up an Amazon Bedrock AgentCore environment with Nova Act permissions.
- Define the critical user journeys you want to validate (e.g., login, checkout, form submission).
- Write agent instructions describing each journey in natural language rather than CSS selectors.
- Deploy the agent as a scheduled or event-driven monitor using AgentCore's managed runtime.
- Configure alerts on agent failure outputs to detect regressions in real user flows.
Good for: DevOps engineers automating end-to-end site reliability checks.
Learn an agent-driven approach to synthetic monitoring using Amazon Nova Act and Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. The post covers the architecture and patterns for resilient, managed user-journey validation that moves beyond brittle UI scripts, with a complete sample implementation.
