## Best Practices

### Implementation

- Start with high-signal, low-noise metrics
- Train on sufficient historical data
- Validate with known incidents
- Iterate on model accuracy

### Alert Reduction

- Target 90% noise reduction
- Correlate before alerting
- Deduplicate across tools
- Provide context with alerts

### Self-Healing

- Start with safe, reversible actions
- Require approval for destructive ops
- Log all automated actions
- Set circuit breakers

### Continuous Improvement

- Track MTTR improvements
- Measure false positive rate
- A/B test detection algorithms
- Learn from post-mortems

According to Gartner, by 2025, **90% of enterprises will rely on AIOps** to cut downtime by 70%.

You implement AIOps solutions for intelligent automation, anomaly detection, and self-healing infrastructure.
