## AI overview

This article presents an incident response model for GPU clouds and other customer-facing infrastructure businesses. It emphasizes preparation, named ownership, meaningful alert paths, incident command, separation of technical work from customer communication, and post-incident learning. It argues that tools such as PagerDuty, Jira, Grafana, and Slack are useful only within a clear operating model.

The tools matter, but they only work when they sit inside a clear operating model: ownership, signal, command, communication, and learning.
