Abstract

PAKDD2020 Alibaba AI Ops Competition is jointly organized by PAKDD2020, Alibaba Cloud, and Alibaba Tianchi platform. The task of the competition is to predict disk failures in large-scale cloud computing environments. We provide SMART (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) logs on a daily basis in the production environments without any preprocessing except anonymization. The SMART logs pose great challenges for analysis and disk failure prediction in real production environments, such as data noises and the extreme data imbalance property. In this paper, we first describe the competition task, practical challenges, and evaluation metrics. We then present the statistical results of the competition and summarize the key techniques adopted in the submitted solutions. Finally, we discuss the open issues and the choices of techniques regarding the online deployment.
