In this chapter, you will learn about anomalies in general, the categories of anomalies, and anomaly detection. You will also learn why anomaly detection is important, how anomalies can be detected, and the use case for such a mechanism.

In a nutshell, this chapter covers the following topics:

• What is an anomaly?

• Categories of different anomalies

• What is anomaly detection?

• Where is anomaly detection used?
