The latest News and Information on AIOps, alerting in complex systems and related technologies.
Multi-cloud hybrid cloud environments, microservices architectures, the rapid growth in the number of mission-critical applications, and the sudden surge in remote work have made enterprise networks exponentially complex. These networks are often not designed to handle the variety of physical and wireless media that’s become common today, for instance, the number of video calls, data transfer through screen sharing, etc.
If 2020 was a year of turbulence, 2021 was the year of complete digital transformation. Enterprises across the globe focused their efforts on enabling stellar digital experiences — both to customers and internal stakeholders alike. This had a significant impact on the IT landscape. The number of applications that were ‘mission-critical’ increased overnight. In a recent survey, respondents said that they have an average of 71.4 mission-critical applications.
Government agencies face challenges in moving forward with digital transformation. IT infrastructures are complex, and making sense out of massive amounts of disparate data is a struggle.
Automation takes repetitive tasks off professionals’ plates, empowering them to free up time to focus on more valuable activities. Moogsoft’s API-driven automation capabilities enable SREs to make better use of their time, leading to better results for the business.
An explanation of observability that highlights the role observability data play in supporting the active role of SREs as they reduce toil, improve uptime, and judiciously consume the error budget.
When the Nobel Prize for physics was announced in October 2021, one of the winners was Italian theoretical physicist Giorgio Parisi, whose groundbreaking research helped decode complex physical systems, opening the door for breakthroughs in mathematics, science, and artificial intelligence. Decoding complex physical systems? If the science thing didn’t work out, Parisi could have pursued a career in security operations.
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.
