Humanism is a philosophical stance at the heart of what Humainary aims to bring to service management operations. It runs counter to the misguided trend of wanton and wasteful extensive data collection so heavily touted by those focused on selling a service rather than solving a problem, now and in the future.

Observability – A Multitude of Memories
There are at least two distinct paths to the future of observability. One path that would continue increasing the volume of collected data in its attempt to reconstruct reality in high-definition on a single plane with little consideration for effectiveness or efficiencies. Another would focus on seeing the big picture in near-real-time from the perspective of human or artificial agents.
AIOps – A Postmodern Observability Model
We propose a model which can better serve site engineering reliability and service operations by being foundational to developing situational awareness capabilities and system resilience capacities, particularly adaptability and experimentation, as in dynamic configuration and chaos engineering.
AIOps – The Observer
Observability is purposefully seeing a system in terms of operations and outcomes. In control theory, this is sometimes simplified to monitoring inputs and outputs, with the comparative prediction of the output from input, possibly factoring in history.
Measurement and Control 2022
Since the very beginning of the hype of Observability, we have contended that the link with Controllability must be maintained for there ever to be a return on investment (ROI) that matches the extravagant claims from vendors pushing a message of more-is-better.
