Artificial Intelligence (AI, also called Machine Learning) is certainly making its way in the world. Technologies such as Voice Recognition, Face Recognition, Predictive Analytics, Self-driving cars, and Robotics are now becoming embedded into our society. With the advent of big-data, these technologies can become more and more powerful and more and more a part of our everyday lives. I'm sure that there is much controversy over this. I'm sure that many people consider it invasive.

IT admins have to adapt to new market trends and networking concepts to meet ever-evolving IT demands. However, solely relying on physical components to support this changing landscape puts them at a disadvantage when it comes to scalability, network distribution, and cost-effectiveness. To remove the strain on physical components such as servers and to keep the capital expense in the optimal range, IT admins rely on virtualization. Most networks have started adopting virtualization even for their most resource-intensive applications.

The Covid-19 pandemic had a huge impact on employment. Perhaps one of the most important was the rise in remote working.

Picture yourself trying to resolve a code error when you notice an additional issue outside your realm of expertise that's making matters worse. Your instinct is to get in touch with the right contact as quickly as possible to resolve the issue so that there's no further impact on the system's uptime. But what if you can't get in touch with them immediately, or don't know who to contact? Instead of trying to solve the problem without support, a DevOps toolchain could have mitigated this chain reaction from the start.

In March 2019, Facebook experienced a 14-hour outage that cost the company $90 million. In July 2018, Amazon lost up to $99 million on Prime Day after experiencing downtime. While these critical financial crises greatly impacted these industry leaders, both companies were able to recover from them eventually; however, many smaller organizations may not have the means to overcome a similar incident. As per Gartner, downtime costs on average $ 5,600 per minute; since IT operations vary from business to business, downtime could cost $140,000 per hour on the lower end or $540,000 per hour on the higher end.
