Overview

Transition from traditional IT operations to AI-driven automation using agentic AI for scalable network management.

Overview

AI Operations (AIOps): Using Agentic AI to Operate Your Network is a technically focused video course designed for IT professionals who want to modernize how networks and infrastructure are operated. Youll learn how agentic AIintelligent systems that can act autonomouslycan take on Day 1 (setup and configuration) and Day 2 (monitoring and maintenance) operational tasks across both on-premises and cloud environments.

The course explains how AI systems evolve from supervised tools into semi-supervised and fully autonomous agents, and what that evolution means for real-world operations in NOC and SOC environments. Rather than treating AI as a black box, this course emphasizes architectures, frameworks, and best practices that help teams evaluate where automation makes sense, where human oversight remains critical, and how to transition responsibly.

With a strong grounding in current operational realities, the course serves both as a reference for evaluating AI operations and a practical guide for getting started with agent-based systems. Youll gain insight into how AI agents can reduce manual troubleshooting, improve reliability, and help control operational costs that often consume a significant portion of IT budgets.

Learn How To

  • Explain what agentic AI is and how AI agents differ from traditional automation tools.
  • Analyze Day 1 and Day 2 operations and identify tasks suitable for agent-based automation.
  • Evaluate common agent architectures and frameworks used in modern AI operations.
  • Apply visual language models and natural language models, and graph databases within agent systems.
  • Compare centralized versus distributed and federated agent deployments.
  • Design environments that support secure agent-to-agent communication and hosting.
  • Incorporate explainability and observability into AI-driven operational workflows.
  • Plan a transition from supervised to semi-supervised and autonomous execution safely.

Who Should Take This Course

  • Network operations professionals working in NOC or SOC environments.
  • System and cloud operations engineers responsible for Day 1 and Day 2 tasks
  • DevOps engineers exploring AI-driven automation strategies
  • Cloud architects designing scalable, AI-ready infrastructure
  • IT leaders and technical decision-makers evaluating AIOps and agent-based systems
  • Technically inclined professionals interested in applying agentic AI to real operations

Course Requirements

  • Working knowledge of networking, systems, or cloud infrastructure concepts
  • Familiarity with IT operations workflows (NOC, SOC, or DevOps environments)
  • Comfort with technical architecture discussions and conceptual frameworks
  • Interest in evaluating and adopting AI-driven automation responsibly
