Unlocking Actionable Insights from Cloud Incident Data with AI
Cloud incident reports are critical for maintaining service reliability but are often unstructured and complex, hindering long-term analysis. This research demonstrates how cutting-edge Large Language Models (LLMs) can transform raw, textual incident reports into structured, actionable data, significantly enhancing incident management and preventative strategies for enterprise cloud operations.

LLM Adaption & Evaluation
Our study introduces a novel workflow for adapting LLMs to extract critical information from cloud incident reports. We compare six diverse LLM models—three lightweight (Gemini 2.0, GPT 3.5) and three state-of-the-art (GPT-40, Gemini 2.5, Claude Sonnet 4)—across various prompt strategies. Evaluation metrics include Exact Match (EM) for entities, Token-level F1 (TK) for multi-class fields, and BERTScore (BS) for semantic similarity in free-text fields. This rigorous evaluation allows us to identify optimal models and strategies for accuracy, latency, and cost-efficiency in enterprise settings.
Prompt Strategies for Extraction
We explored six prompt strategies, ranging from simple Zero-Shot (ZS) to comprehensive Few-Shot (FS) approaches incorporating Chain-of-Thought (CoT) and explicit categorization instructions. Findings show that component-rich strategies like Full-FS achieve the highest overall accuracy. Notably, few-shot prompting significantly improves metadata extraction, demonstrating that providing examples guides LLMs to deliver more precise results for enterprise-specific data formats. This highlights the importance of thoughtful prompt engineering for robust information extraction.
Model Performance & Cost Efficiency
The research reveals a crucial trade-off between accuracy and operational cost. Lightweight models such as Gemini 2.0 and GPT 3.5 offer a strong balance of high accuracy (75-95%) with significantly lower cost and latency, making them ideal for many enterprise applications. While state-of-the-art models like GPT-40 and Gemini 2.5 can achieve slightly higher accuracy, they come with a substantially greater cost (50-60x more expensive) and increased latency. This insight is vital for enterprises to make informed decisions based on their specific budget and performance requirements.
Threats to Validity & Future Directions
We acknowledge limitations regarding the generalizability of our findings. The accuracy of LLMs is influenced by the quantity and quality of few-shot examples and the specificity of our classification schemas. Future work will focus on optimizing prompt design, enhancing classification flexibility for evolving incident types, and conducting deeper causal analyses facilitated by more comprehensive public incident data. Enterprise adoption should consider these factors and potentially integrate fine-tuning for specific operational contexts.

Cost Savings with Lightweight Models
Impact of Few-shot Prompting on Azure Incident Analysis
Our research demonstrated that few-shot prompting significantly boosts accuracy for metadata extraction across datasets. For Azure, lightweight models with few-shot learning achieved the highest average accuracy of 80.60%, outperforming more advanced models without few-shot learning.
- Improved metadata extraction accuracy by up to 17.34% (average).
- Azure dataset saw few-shot boosting lightweight model accuracy to 80.60%.
- Caution: Less effective for classification tasks where overfitting can occur with limited examples.
