From Reactive to Autonomous: Evolution of AI Operations in Cloud Network Infrastructure

Excerpt

arXiv:2608.14574v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The operational model for cloud network infrastructure has undergone a fundamental transformation over the past decade. What began as manual, human-driven troubleshooting has evolved through scripted automation, rule-based systems, and AI-assisted operations into fully autonomous incident resolution. This paper traces the evolution of AI operations (AIOps) in cloud network infrastructure, identifying the architectural patterns, organizational cha
