The mechanics are, as others said, a real-time webhook. So yes, to your specific questions, it can trigger an automatic policy shift in under ten seconds.
But your focus on CI/CD and SRE workflows is key, because the integration's plumbing is trivial. The actual value is entirely determined by the policy library you've built *before* the first alert fires. If your 'quarantine' service tier for a K8s admin is just a brick wall, you've automated the creation of a P1 incident. The SRE now spends their time executing a break-glass override instead of reviewing a ticket.
The new dashboard is irrelevant. The test is whether your policy engineers have defined a constrained environment that permits read-only log access or connection to a diagnostic jump host. If they haven't, the integration's speed just makes the problem worse.
