Preventive Maintenance in AI Hyperscale Operations: Why Control Matters More Than the Calendar
AI hyperscale maintenance should not be defined by a day of the week. The stronger model is a controlled inspection rhythm built on telemetry, checklists, and formal change control, with SOPs for routine work, MOPs for planned state changes, and EOPs for abnormal events.
