bookCorrelation Analysis for DevOps

Correlation is a statistical measure that describes how two variables move in relation to each other. In DevOps, understanding correlation helps you identify connections between operational metrics—such as whether increased CPU usage is associated with higher response times, or if memory consumption trends with error rates. Recognizing these relationships supports proactive decision-making, allowing you to anticipate issues and optimize system performance based on data-driven insights.

import pandas as pd # Example DataFrame with CPU and memory usage metrics data = { "cpu_usage": [55, 60, 62, 58, 70, 65, 80, 85], "memory_usage": [70, 72, 75, 73, 78, 80, 90, 95] } df = pd.DataFrame(data) # Calculate the correlation between CPU and memory usage correlation = df["cpu_usage"].corr(df["memory_usage"]) print(f"Correlation between CPU and memory usage: {correlation:.2f}")

When you interpret correlation results, a value close to 1 means the two metrics tend to increase together, while a value near -1 indicates that as one goes up, the other goes down. A correlation close to 0 suggests little or no linear relationship. However, correlation does not imply causation—just because two metrics move together does not mean one causes the other. Additionally, correlation only captures linear relationships and may miss more complex patterns, so always consider the context and other possible influencing factors.
