AI Operations (AIOps) Fundamentals
AI in operations, or AIOps, envision a high level of AI-assisted or AI-driven automation in IT and network operations.
As communications service providers (CSPs) are undergoing digital transformation and are challenged with new technology and service rollouts, their operations teams envision a high level of AI-assisted or AI-driven automation in IT and network operations.
As AI components and systems move into CSPs’ operational environments, it is important to understand just how different working with AI is from traditional operations software. It is intent-based rather than procedural and employs non-deterministic logic, not predictable outputs from specific inputs.
AIOps combines big data and machine learning to automate IT operations processes, including event correlation, anomaly detection and causality determination, and the TM Forum is working to
develop a framework to define how this very different technology should be applied, governed, and managed.
In this course, we use the outputs of the TM collaboration project and Catalyst proofs of concept to explain the latest thinking and principles of AIOps. It explores the concepts and building blocks and highlights resources to go deeper into the subject.
This one-day course is offered in expert-led virtual or in-person session to ensure a balance of classroom style education and interactive, hands-on exercises to maximize your learning.
