Networking Field Day 35: Selector AI Introduction with Debashis Mohanty

Selector's customer base includes 50 deployments across service providers as well as large enterprises in retail, media distribution, colocation services, and multi-cloud networking services. These customers aim to correlate events across their network, applications, and infrastructure; eliminate the need for human intervention in RCS and remediation; and democratize access to insights using conversational natural language interfaces. Selector delivers on these outcomes, while accelerating incident remediation through smart, actionable alerting and a GenAI-based conversational interface.

Networking Field Day 35: Solving the Query Problem with Selector AI

Selector translates English phrases to SQL queries through the use of an LLM. Each SQL query includes the table, or data set to be searched, along with filters, or conditions which prune the search results. We walk through a number of SQL queries and sample search results, before considering the LLM-based translation of a sample English phrase processed by Selector.

Networking Field Day 35: Selector AI and the Workings of an LLM

An LLM differs from a function in that it takes output and imputes, or infers, a function and its arguments. We first consider how this process works within Selector for an English phrase converted to a query. We then step through the design of Selector's LLM, which relies on a base LLM trained with English phrases and SQL translation, then fine-tuned, on-premises, with customer-specific entities. In this way, each of Selector's deployments relies on an LLM tailored to the customer at hand.

Tips for Monitoring Kubernetes Applications

Monitoring is the most important aspect of infrastructure operations. Effective monitoring strategies help optimize infrastructure usage, improve planning, and resolve incidents quickly. While monitoring preceded DevOps, DevOps has further transformed the software development process to the extent that monitoring also has to evolve.

Monitoring Kubernetes with Hosted Graphite by MetricFire

In this article, we will be looking into Kubernetes monitoring with Graphite and Grafana.
