   A company's operations team is overwhelmed by the number of alerts generated by their monitoring system. Many alerts are false positives or low-priority, and the team often misses critical issues. They want to automate the initial response to common, well-understood incidents (e.g., restarting a service) and only escalate to human operators for complex problems. Which approach best addresses this?

   • AConfigure the monitoring system to trigger a webhook that calls an automation API to perform a predefined remediation action, and only page a human if the action fails.
   • BUse a configuration management tool to periodically reapply the desired state of all servers, which will fix any issues automatically.
   • CIncrease the alert thresholds so fewer alerts are generated, reducing the noise for the operations team.
   • DCreate a runbook document that describes the steps to resolve common issues and require the operations team to follow it.
