AIOps

Using AI and machine learning to enhance cloud operations — anomaly detection, automated root cause analysis, predictive alerting, and intelligent remediation.

AWS Services for AIOps

• Amazon DevOps Guru — ML-powered insights to detect anomalous application behavior and recommend remediation
• CloudWatch Anomaly Detection — Applies ML algorithms to continuously analyze metrics and identify anomalies
• CloudWatch Application Signals — Automatically discovers and monitors application services and their dependencies
• Amazon Q Developer operational investigations — AI-assisted investigation of operational issues

Best Practices

• Start with anomaly detection on key business metrics before expanding to infrastructure
• Use composite alarms to reduce noise from individual ML-based detectors
• Combine AIOps signals with human judgment — use ML to surface issues, not to auto-remediate critical systems without review
• Feed operational runbooks and past incident data to improve AI-assisted investigations
