What should you do first?

You work on an operations team at an international company that manages a large fleet of on-premises servers located in few data centers around the world. Your team collects monitoring data from the servers, including CPU/memory consumption. When an incident occurs on a server, your team is responsible for fixing it. Incident data has not been properly labeled yet. Your management team wants you to build a predictive maintenance solution that uses monitoring data from the VMs to detect potential failures and then alerts the service desk team.

What should you do first?
A . Train a time-series model to predict the machines’ performance values. Configure an alert if a machine’s actual performance values significantly differ from the predicted performance values.
B . Implement a simple heuristic (e.g., based on z-score) to label the machines’ historical performance data. Train a model to predict anomalies based on this labeled dataset.
C . Develop a simple heuristic (e.g., based on z-score) to label the machines’ historical performance data. Test this heuristic in a production environment.
D . Hire a team of qualified analysts to review and label the machines’ historical performance data.
Train a model based on this manually labeled dataset.
