Four DEMO Use Cases

#	Trigger	Scenario	Key stack
UC1	Chat	Intelligent health check	Mattermost → n8n → MCP for AAP → Job Templates
UC2	Chat + Schedule	Patch / vulnerability management	AAP · HITL · Policy Enforcement
UC3	Event (EDA)	Process Hung RCA & self-heal	Prometheus → EDA → Triage → n8n → AI Agent
UC4	Chat + Policy	Web config compliance block	Policy Enforcement rejects unsafe JT

Overview: 01-04 Use Cases

Recommended Path

Phase A — Understand (read first)

Step	Document	Purpose
0	00-Blueprint-CN.md	Series scope & conventions
1	01-01 … 01-05	Why / What / How to Land / Use Cases / ROI
2	02-01 · 02-02	Components, sizing, IP & ports

Phase B — Deploy (follow in order)

Order	Chapter	Document	Deploy on
1	03 AAP	03-01 → 03-06	AAP node
2	04 Prometheus	04-01	Prometheus node
3	05 Chaos	05-01 · 05-02 · 05-03	Chaos node
4	07 Triage	07-01	Triage node
5	07 Mattermost	07-02 · 07-03	Triage node
6	08 n8n	08-01 · 08-02	n8n node
7	06 EDA	06-01	AAP (Rulebooks / JTs / Playbooks)
8	09 MCP SSH	09-01	Triage node
9	10 DEMO	10-01 · Workflow prompts	End-to-end validation

Note: Chapter 06 EDA depends on AAP, Prometheus alerting, n8n webhooks, and Triage directories — deploy it after those are in place.

How to Use This Guide

Pick your language — read -CN.md or -EN.md; commands and configs are identical in both.
Freeze your IP plan — copy the table in 02-02 and replace 10.210.65.x globally if needed.
Deploy in Phase B order — do not skip prerequisites (SSH keys, firewalld, offline bundles).
Validate per chapter — each guide includes expected output; use UC1 Chat health check as the final smoke test.
Slides & ROI — solution narrative lives in 10_AIOPS_Solution_Slides/; cross-reference 01-04 and 01-05.
