Today, the majority of organizations operate under a hybrid cloud structure. Due to this, operations are consistently met with daily infrastructure and software changes and updates, which are also the primary cause of incidents and outages. Long gone are the days when a tech stack could be represented by a single dependency model. Microservices, CI/CD, and containers across multi-cloud make it extremely difficult to track all the changes and connect them to incidents.

Finding the root causes of IT anomalies can be challenging, but the rewards are worth it. By identifying the root cause or causes of an incident or critical failure, response teams can resolve incidents faster and determine the best steps to avoid having them recur. This can drive down both the frequency of service interruptions and their duration.
