Abstract

Smart deployment and release management processes are essential for IT infrastructure services that are integral to the successful conduct of business operations. However, conventional release and deployment management approaches are manual or semi-automated and often follow a reactive model; they have numerous limitations such as delays in the release schedule, a high change failure rate, unexpected changes impacting production environments, a short time to restore services, and unplanned outages. Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents data-driven solutions that enhance these processes by leveraging machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, and intelligent automation. An integrated AI-based Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) framework introduces AIOps across the deployment and release management lifecycle, enhancing the capabilities of existing tools, platforms, and services. Major AI initiatives focus on predictive risk management and readiness management, complemented by adoption and outreach.
