Self-Healing Software Architectures in the Cloud: AI-Driven Detection and Recovery Mechanisms

The recent evolution of cloud computing demands that systems are able to self-diagnose and self-heal as well as constantly optimize without human intervention. This paper provides an in-depth review of the self-healing software architectures in cloud computing, focusing on AI-induced detection and recovery methods. The authors talk about how self-healing systems have changed from traditional ideas to modern AI-powered systems and categorize the main types of methods used for synchronization, tracking, and fixing problems in today's cloud services. Based on a systematic review of available literature, we investigate essential issues such as fault detection accuracy, recovery time optimization, and system reliability improvement. The study finds that although much has been achieved in self-healing, the existing approaches are not yet able to efficiently deal with complex fault situations and to reduce the level of service interruption. Our results suggest that the application of large language models updated using machine learning has the potential to deliver up to an 85% increase in the accuracy of fault prediction and a 60% reduction in system downtime as compared to state-of-the-art approaches. Finally, we talk about what future research should focus on, including the necessary understanding and development of new AI models, different system structures, and standard ways to measure how well self-healing cloud systems work.
