AIOPs is Transforming the Role of IT
The introduction of the latest technology – such as AI and machine learning – can be seen as a way for organizations to accelerate growth, increase efficiency, and improve customer service. However, the truth is that the technology alone will do little to deliver on these business outcomes. AI for IT operations (AIOPs) is one area where the application of technology, if not matched with organizational maturity readiness, will fail to deliver all the promised benefits.
This report looks at the operational maturity of organizations and matches the technology to that level. Only by ensuring that technology, people, and processes are aligned can an organization see any new technology become transformative and deliver real business value.

The First 5 Chaos Experiments to Run on Kubernetes
Even systems like Kubernetes need to be tested to verify that they can handle turbulent production conditions. By thoughtfully injecting failure into Kubernetes, engineers can identify bugs before migrating a new service over and ensure successful launches and the stable ongoing performance of their application. This reduces time fighting fires so teams can ship more code, faster.
Read this guide to learn:
- How to improve the availability and reliability of Kubernetes clusters using the discipline of Chaos Engineering
- How to use Chaos Engineering to safely inject failure into your applications and nodes in order to detect weaknesses.
- Specific Chaos Experiments for you to run on Kubernetes to ensure you’ve designed a reliable system.

Scared Serverless? Don’t be.
Serverless functions are becoming a bigger part of microservices applications in today’s modern software architectures, helping organizations gain flexibility and substantially cut compute costs. But are those applications performing well to deliver business value? It’s hard to know, because nothing about serverless fits the model of how application performance monitoring works. Today’s tools don’t work well in the serverless world, when a function executes and is gone before its performance can even be observed. Tracing stateless requests with no runtime is extremely difficult.
IT organizations understand the benefits of serverless, but they are scared to manage it. In this webinar, David Rubinstein, editor-in-chief of SD Times, Chris Farrell, technical director and APM strategist at Instana and Drew Flowers, Solution Architect at Instana, dive into the challenges of monitoring serverless functions and talk about ways to gain production-level visibility into these applications.
