Programme Objectives

  • Develop advanced capability to apply AI across system administration, infrastructure monitoring, troubleshooting, configuration management, access administration, maintenance, and operational support.
  • Use AI to analyse system logs, performance metrics, configurations, incidents, service records, capacity data, and administrative documentation.
  • Build repeatable AI-assisted workflows for system health monitoring, issue diagnosis, maintenance, patch coordination, access reviews, documentation, and reporting.
  • Apply AI to identify recurring system failures, abnormal behaviour, configuration inconsistencies, capacity concerns, operational risks, and automation opportunities.
  • Design responsible AI-enabled System Administration workflows with appropriate controls for privileged access, security, change management, validation, rollback, auditability, and human oversight.

Scenarios

System Performance Incident to Controlled Resolution

Performance Alert → Metric Review → Log Analysis → Troubleshooting → Root Cause Investigation → Corrective Action → Controlled Change → Validation → Knowledge Capture

Participants use AI-assisted techniques to investigate a simulated system-performance issue, analyse logs and resource metrics, develop a controlled resolution plan, and document the final troubleshooting knowledge.

Infrastructure Data to Intelligent System Administration

System Metrics + Logs + Access Records + Patch Status + Storage Data + Incidents → AI Analysis → Operational Risk Signals → Priority Actions → Automated Alerts & Follow-Up → Infrastructure Dashboard → Administrator Review

Participants design an AI-enabled System Administration workflow that consolidates infrastructure signals, identifies recurring operational and capacity issues, automates safe monitoring and follow-up, and strengthens system visibility while retaining privileged and production decisions with authorised IT professionals.
