What comes first – observability or AIOps? Can you achieve observability without AIOps? Do you need AIOps if you already have an observability solution in place? These are all questions that any team considering AIOps will want to answer in order to determine the real-world value that AIOps tools stand to offer.
Asking an IT engineer or SRE to define the purpose of observability is kind of like asking someone to explain the purpose of life: There are lots of different opinions out there, and no way of proving any of them right or wrong. You could argue that observability is just a buzzword that refers to what used to be called monitoring.
IT Operations has a wide spectrum of roles and responsibilities. The positions range from level 1 (L1) operators to Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) and everything in between. L1 operators, for example, are (often) almost exclusively reactive. They feed off the constant stream of incidents reported by clients and events that are reported by monitoring and alerting systems. This is in contrast to SREs, who work at the other end of the spectrum.

Interpreting data and making fast decisions is critical for any leader in today's business world. But how is it done? Everyone remembers the old way of doing things where analysts would manually crunch the numbers and give a final output. This business intelligence would be presented to their boss, and decisions would be made. This batch way of running numbers and presenting them is not sustainable due to the massive amount of manual effort involved to recompile datasets and present them properly.
