How AIOps Can Use the Idea of Digital Twins to Create Self-Healing Closed Loop Ecosystems

79

In recent years, digital twins have gained significant traction as a technology, especially in industrial and heavy industries like energy and transportation. A digital twin can be defined as an accurate, comprehensive digital replica of a real-world system or procedure, which can range from a prototype consumer product to a whole factory or communications network.

Digital models serve as excellent testing grounds. One key benefit is the ability to virtually test systems, allowing for the execution of several “what if” scenarios, the examination of the results, and the rapid modification of the virtual version of the system. Testing the modifications this way is less expensive, faster, and less risky than making the changes in the physical version. With its shorter, quicker feedback loops, this is similar to software development moving toward agile methodology.
