AIOps and Infrastructure as a Code

AIOps and IaC: Revolutionizing Infrastructure Management

This comprehensive guide explores the intersection of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations (AIOps) to revolutionize infrastructure management. By combining the power of automation and AI, organizations can streamline operations, reduce downtime, and improve overall efficiency.

The book delves into the core concepts of IaC, including Terraform, and demonstrates how to automate infrastructure provisioning, configuration, and deployment. It also explores the role of AI in optimizing infrastructure, automating routine tasks, and proactively addressing potential issues. By leveraging AI-powered tools and techniques, organizations can achieve greater agility, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.
