Abstract	The emergence of large language models (LLMs) such as OpenAI’s GPT-4, Google’s PaLM, and Meta’s LLaMA has ushered in a transformative era for IT operations. Traditionally reliant on manual scripting, predefined rules, and fragmented monitoring tools, IT teams now face escalating complexity due to cloud-native architectures, distributed systems, and the scale of infrastructure data. LLMs introduce a new paradigm by providing contextual understanding, automation, and adaptive problem-solving capabilities across the IT operations landscape. These models excel in interpreting logs, answering support tickets, automating incident triage, generating documentation, and enabling natural language interfaces for DevOps tools. LLMs can dynamically analyze system alerts, generate remediation scripts, and even simulate resolution plans through conversational interfaces. Their ability to ingest diverse data sources—logs, documentation, configuration files, and ticketing history—positions them as intelligent copilots for site reliability engineers (SREs), network administrators, and security analysts. Furthermore, LLMs improve mean time to resolution (MTTR), reduce alert fatigue, and accelerate root cause analysis by synthesizing vast volumes of telemetry and operational data. They offer scalable support for chatbots, documentation, and onboarding processes. However, adopting LLMs in IT operations requires thoughtful integration. Challenges such as hallucinations, lack of domain-specific fine-tuning, and data sensitivity must be addressed. Governance frameworks, model monitoring, and responsible AI practices play a crucial role in safe and effective deployment. This white paper explores the strategic applications, architectural design patterns, real-world case studies, and governance considerations for leveraging LLMs in modern IT operations. It provides a roadmap for IT leaders and practitioners to harness the power of generative AI for intelligent, automated, and resilient infrastructure management.
