Looking forward to the postmortem on this one and how much AI contributed to the problem and troubleshooting.

I've been saying AI hasn't been tested properly. All the showcases I see aren't really pushing it far enough and they're always things you could in theory do by searching answers online. The real value is in all the problems that cannot be solved by online search.

I was thinking the same.

Btw, this is why no one should think AI-ops is a thing yet. All the promises of powerful, hands-off AI operations, preventive fixes, etc. are just BS.

Can't do AI-ops if you're the AI-ops provider that's got the outage :)

I do know that after introduction of AI assisted dev work in the last 2 years, SLA violations in our cloud product became a frequent occurrence - this after we had gone years without facing one. The hype train has pushed QA to the sewer.
