 Such limitations gravely reduce the applicability of \gls{dcdt}'s in real world scenarios~\cite{DBLP:journals/corr/IosupKLVG22}.
 \gls{dcdt}'s are urgently needed, because datacenters exhibit hundreds unexpected events every day,such as \eg service failures or hardware faults.
 Downtime, which is the result of failures, disturbs the users and produces unfulfilled \gls{sla}~\cite{DBLP:conf/acsos/TalluriOVTI21}.
+% On the operational side, two main areas have been instrumental for improving datacenter efficiency: simulations and analysis of system telemetry. Additional improvements necessitate innovative tools that focus on end-to-end improvement, such as digital twins~\cite{DBLP:ExaDigiT}.
+% DT's merge both simulation and telemetry to develop a holistic virtual representation of the system, bridging both the physical and virtual worlds.
 However, predicting datacenter behaviour quickly and reliably is a non-trivial problem that remains insufficiently unaddressed in the existing \gls{dcdt} architectures ~\cite{DBLP:conf/wosp/SumanCNTMI24, DBLP:journals/computer/AthavaleBBMMPS24} and deployments~\cite{DBLP:conf/sc/BrewerMKWBHSGGW24}.
