The push for business agility leaves an undesirable by-product in complexity which outstrips human capacity to keep pace. While agility is core to business innovation and customer experiences, executing to it has created a highly ephemeral state of IT workloads and processes. Major advances in distributed architectures, multi-clouds, containers and microservices, to name a few, have created copious, multi-dimensional data flows that create excessive noise and stifle IT’s ability to identify and resolve service incidents. AIOps builds real-time systems in the form of context-rich data lakes that traverse the full application stack in order to reduce noise in modern performance and fault management systems and drive automation with a goal of improving time to resolution.
