In this article, I’ll be highlighting the AIOps tools — AppDynamics and Dynatrace.
The term “AIOps” is an acronym for Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations. The term was first coined by Garnet in 2017 in reference to how data and information from applications are managed by IT teams (using AI in this case).
AIOps is used to describe multi-layered technology platforms that can enhance and automate IT operations using Machine Learning and data analytics. Such platforms leverage large collections of data sourced from various IT tools…
AIOps implementation makes life easier for the IT environment whereby it takes on the various challenges facing the existing system and provides us with all end-to-end report and visibility of our IT environment, and makes any IT team to be proactively respondent to any technical issue that arises.
This article was originally published on The Chief I/O: Reasons We Need AIOps
In this article, I’ll be discussing AIOps, how it works, and then sharing the reasons why we need AIOPs.

What Is AIOps?
Coined by Gartner, AIOps meaning “Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations” or Algorithmic Operations refer to technology platforms that use Machine Learning (ML) and data science to solve IT operation problems.
The increasing complexity in data management and demand for faster and more efficient data management needs a quick fix, birthing AIOps.

Researchers uncover a 10-year old vulnerability in Linux
Security researchers at Qualys, the cloud security firm, have uncovered a 10-year old vulnerability in Sudo, a utility included in almost all Linux and Unix-based operating systems. The vulnerability allows any unprivileged user to gain access to root privileges on a vulnerable host using a default Sudo configuration.
- Sudo is a utility that allows users to run programs with the security privileges of another user. The vulnerability in Sudo was first introduced in July 2011 and affected all versions from 1.8.2 to 1.8.31p2, and the default configuration of all stable versions from 1.9.0 to 1.9.5p1.
- Qualys security researchers were able…
Incepted with the aim of reducing costs of acquiring hardware upfront, the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) has made development and deployment relatively faster and less costly. However, the retaining costs from some unused storage, Instances, and features of the Amazon EC2 remain a glitch in EC2 cost-effectiveness.
This article was originally published on The Chief I/O: How To Optimize AWS EC2 Costs.
In this article, I’ll be highlighting some ideal ways to optimize your AWS EC2 costs using;
