AIOps in Action: Incident Prediction and Root Cause Automation Training Course

Introduction to Predictive AIOps

• Overview of predictive analytics within IT operations.
• Data sources for forecasting (logs, metrics, events).
• Fundamental concepts in time-series forecasting and anomaly detection.

Designing Incident Prediction Models

• Labeling historical incidents and system behaviors.
• Selecting and training models (e.g., LSTM, Random Forest, AutoML).
• Assessing model accuracy and managing false positives.

Data Collection and Feature Engineering

• Ingesting and aligning log and metric data for model input.
• Extracting features from structured and unstructured data sources.
• Mitigating noise and handling missing data in operational pipelines.

Automating Root Cause Analysis (RCA)

• Graph-based correlation of services and infrastructure components.
• Utilizing ML to infer probable root causes from event sequences.
• Visualizing RCA insights via topology-aware dashboards.

Remediation and Workflow Automation

• Integrating with automation platforms (e.g., Ansible, Rundeck).
• Initiating rollbacks, service restarts, or traffic redirection.
• Auditing and recording automated interventions.

Scaling Intelligent AIOps Pipelines

• MLOps for observability: model retraining and version control.
• Executing real-time predictions across distributed nodes.
• Best practices for deploying AIOps in production environments.

Case Studies and Practical Applications

• Analyzing actual incident data using predictive AIOps models.
• Deploying RCA pipelines with synthetic and production data sets.
• Reviewing industry use cases: cloud outages, microservices instability, network degradations.
