Cloud service system management can be challenging and costly because of its volume of components to monitor, dynamic traffic patterns, and velocity required to support mission-critical applications. In this talk, we’ll introduce Signal Fabric, an AI-assisted system intelligence platform for knowledge discovery in fast-changing environments. It has the capability of building dynamic ontology out of federated data sources. Signal Fabric utilizes composable micro-agent framework to continuously observe and learn topological relationship from signals/metrics in the system. It then leverages the captured knowledge to identify the right subset of signals to facilitate decision making.
Signal Fabric has been used to monitor billions of Windows devices and now is part of Azure observability platform.
