LLM for AIOps Guide

Overview

A curated collection of research on applying LLMs to IT Operations (AIOps) — log analysis, anomaly detection, incident management, root cause analysis, and automated remediation. Tracks how foundation models are transforming traditional rule-based operations tooling into intelligent, adaptive systems. Relevant for CS researchers at the intersection of systems, NLP, and operations.
