The link between DevOps and artificial intelligence for operations (AIOps) has only started to become clear within the last few years. Monitoring and alerting has evolved from a "black box approach," where you don't actually know what's happening, into observability, where you have access to data that provides everything you possibly need to know about your IT systems. How does AIOps come into play? AIOps is the practice of applying artificial intelligence, machine learning, and advanced analytics to automate and improve IT operations. Since it entered as a formal discipline with Gartner in 2016, IT teams have been trying to figure out how to employ it to make their lives easier.
