In fact, data analysts who are charged with managing and making sense of the growing volumes of […]
How AIOps Makes DevOps Less Noisy
For DevOps engineers, “noise” is the enemy of productivity. In this context, the noise we’re talking about is unnecessary or low-priority alerts and notifications that distract engineers from identifying serious issues—and ultimately can cause alert fatigue syndrome, in which alerting systems are ignored altogether. Without the application of a well-constructed noise reduction plan, alert noise […]
How AIOps Helps You Get More Out of DevOps
DevOps may seem like an overused term. It involves taking an application’s source code and running it in an environment. It can cover the processes, the technology or even the people that maintain the technology that is running those very processes. At its heart, though, DevOps is about helping developers to be self-sufficient when it […]
