Course Outline

Introduction to AIOps

  • What is AIOps and its significance for government operations
  • Comparison of traditional monitoring methods with AIOps-driven observability
  • Overview of AIOps architecture and key components for government use

Collecting and Normalizing Operational Data

  • Types of observability data: metrics, logs, and traces in a government context
  • Ingesting data from multiple sources, including servers, containers, and cloud environments for government IT systems
  • Utilizing agents and exporters such as Prometheus, Beats, and Fluentd for data collection in government agencies

Data Correlation and Anomaly Detection

  • Time series correlation and statistical methods for identifying patterns in government systems
  • Employing machine learning models to detect anomalies in government IT operations
  • Detecting incidents across distributed systems within government networks

Alerting and Noise Reduction

  • Designing intelligent alert rules and thresholds for effective monitoring in government environments
  • Implementing suppression, deduplication, and alert grouping to reduce noise in government IT operations
  • Integrating with tools like Alertmanager, Slack, PagerDuty, or Opsgenie for streamlined incident management in government agencies

Root Cause Analysis and Visualization

  • Utilizing dashboards to visualize metrics and detect trends in government IT systems
  • Exploring events and timelines for root cause analysis (RCA) in government operations
  • Tracing issues across layers using distributed tracing tools for enhanced visibility in government networks

Automation and Remediation

  • Triggering automated scripts or workflows from incidents to improve efficiency in government IT processes
  • Integrating with IT Service Management (ITSM) systems such as ServiceNow and Jira for seamless incident management in government agencies
  • Use cases: self-healing, scaling, and traffic rerouting to enhance reliability and performance in government IT infrastructure

Open Source and Commercial AIOps Platforms

  • Overview of tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Moogsoft, and Dynatrace for government use
  • Evaluation criteria for selecting an AIOps platform tailored to government needs
  • Demonstration and hands-on experience with a selected stack for government IT professionals
