AI-Automated Root-Cause Analysis for Cloud Incidents
Abstract
The fast growth of cloud computing has resulted in complex and dynamic infrastructures where incidences may spread across virtualized resources and distributed services and multi-layered dependencies. The conventional rule-based troubleshooting processes cannot process high volume of logs, mixed telemetry, and unreliable interaction of services which leads to slow recovery and more downtimes. The current paper introduces an AI-Based Root-Cause Analysis (RCA) system to cloud incidents, which combines deep learning, causal inference, and knowledge-based reasoning to automatically identify, correlate, and diagnose the root causes of faults throughout a cloud system. The structure capitalizes on the usage of log embeddings, anomaly clustering, inter-service dependency mapping, and graph-based causal modelling in an effort to localize the point of failure with high accuracy. A learning cycle based on reinforcement is continuously used to enhance accuracy of RCA by using real-time feedback based on incident resolutions. The experimental findings on real-world cloud datasets have indicated that there are dramatic reductions in time to diagnose root causes, accuracy of incident classification, and mitigation recommendations, compared to the state-of-the-art methods. The solution proposed will increase resiliency and improve service recovery rates and autonomous cloud operations that are appropriate to large-scale DevSecOps ecosystems.
