Project Overview

The mandate consists of integrating AI/SRE specialists into the squads responsible for systems in production in order to improve the detection, diagnosis and resolution of incidents. Consultants use existing traces, metrics, logs, application topologies, incident histories, runbooks and knowledge bases to develop assisted investigation, event correlation and action recommendation capabilities. In particular, they can help make this data accessible to development or operations assistants via secure APIs or connectors, automate certain triage steps and enrich the runbooks used by the support levels. The work must integrate with the Quebec public sector/crown corporation's observability and incident management practices and strengthen the autonomy of the squads that own the systems, without transferring operational accountability for these systems to the supplier
