Autonomous Operations: Microservices, ML and AI QCon San Francisco 2016

Microservice architectures have increased the speed at which systems changed and reduced the complexity of the units inside those systems. These improvements come at price though: system complexity grows quadratically as the number of services increases. Operating systems consisting of many moving parts under near constant change will quickly become untenable for human beings. In this talk, we'll explore the increasing automated field of operations and explore what the future might hold when machine learning and AI techniques are brought to bear on the problem of systems operations. We'll not only explore what might be possible, but we'll also see some real examples of what is possible with today's toolchains and compute power.
