By gathering data from these systems and analyzing this, it will be able to track and remediate systems and processes, including the automation of repetitive tasks. AIOps is capable of discovering patterns for which it can define automated triggers. But it can't do this if it can't monitor the source systems.

DevOps as a service will track every step in the development and delivery process, but the real value is...
