🚀 Incident Prediction System

📖 Overview

The Incident Prediction System is an AI-powered cloud-native platform designed to predict infrastructure incidents before they occur. By combining Kubernetes observability, machine learning, and automated alerting, the system enables infrastructure teams to proactively identify resource saturation risks, reduce downtime, and improve service reliability. The platform collects metrics from Kubernetes nodes, analyzes historical and real-time resource usage patterns, predicts future CPU and memory consumption, and automatically notifies administrators when a high-risk situation is detected.

✨ Features

• 📊 Real-time infrastructure monitoring
• 🤖 Machine learning-based incident prediction
• 📈 CPU and memory usage forecasting
• 🚨 Automated Email and Slack notifications
• ☸️ Kubernetes-native deployment
• 🖥️ Interactive monitoring dashboard
• 📚 Historical metrics visualization
• ⚡ Scalable cloud-native architecture
