AIOps, (artificial intelligence for IT operations) is the application of artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance IT operations.
Specifically, AIOps uses big data, analytics, and machine learning capabilities to do the following:
• Collect and aggregate the huge and ever-increasing volumes of operations data generated by multiple IT
infrastructure components, applications, and performance-monitoring tools.
• Intelligently sift ‘signals’ out of the ‘noise’ to identify significant events and patterns related to system performance
and availability issues (detect business anomalies).
• Automatically diagnose root causes and report them to IT for rapid response and remediation — or, in some cases,
automatically resolve these issues without human intervention.
Introduction to AIOps

7. 7 | DevOps Next 2020 perforce.com
• Enhance organizations digital transformation
• Achieve faster MTTR (focus on real issues instead of noise)
• Go from reactive to proactive to predictive management (predictive alerting)
• Modernize your IT operations and your IT operations team (focus on innovation rather then KTLO)

• Automated pattern discovery
and prediction
• ZIF uses ML and predictive
techniques to identify an event that
can turn into a high severity incident
even before it reached the service
desk agent
• ZIF can perform Level-0 Triaging
of incidents and assign it to the
appropriate desk agent
• AI voice

• Builds leave a trail of unnecessary
files behind them, which can
quickly amount to TBs of data. A
cleanup script was created to scan
through the build data and remove
these files, and the team built a
dashboard to monitor its activity —
the amount of data cleaned as well
as the processes left behind.

Incident management for managing and
tracking incidents
Problem management for managing problem
investigations from detection to eradication,
through the ITIL subprocesses of problem
control, error control, and proactive problem
analysis.
Change and release management for tracking
scheduled and planned infrastructure
changes.
Service-level management for tracking
service-level commitments with customers
and from vendors, so management can
pinpoint weaknesses and take corrective
action.
