What AIOps actually means (and what it doesn't)
AIOps is more often a vendor pitch than a working pattern. We separate the genuinely useful applications (anomaly detection, alert correlation, root-cause hints) from the marketing.
- · The three real AIOps wins: noise reduction, anomaly detection, RCA hints
- · Anti-patterns: 'AI-driven self-healing', 'predictive maintenance' for stateless web apps
- · The data prerequisite: structured logs + metrics + traces with consistent IDs
- · Build vs buy: when Datadog Watchdog / Splunk ITSI / New Relic AI is enough
