The Role of AIOps in Full-Stack Observability
Scope:
The general goal of this eBook is to bring interested Cisco DevNet community members, developers, and software engineers to the central hub site to engage with learning labs and tools.
Contribution:
Collaborating with copywriters and critical stakeholders, I designed this eBook in Adobe InDesign. I employed a grid system, paragraph and character style sheets, master pages, linked images, and hyperlinks to organize and layout the content.
Design rationale:
The main design is focused on the Cisco DevNet brand, featuring key shapes, colors, and text treatment. In addition, the TOC is designed to be dynamic and to have hyperlink functionality, similar to web navigation. This creates a more fluid, easier-to-use interactive user experience for the PDF. One of the creative strategies was to include large numbers for stats, which helps readers understand certain aspects of Full-Stack Observability.
Key achievement:
This eBook provides important information on AIOps and Observability for Full-Stack developers, and explains how Cisco can help facilitate the right tools for specific needs.
