Rightsizing Kubernetes Dev/Test Environments: Saving $500K/yr in 60 Days

Rightsizing Kubernetes Dev/Test Environments: Saving $500K/yr in 60 Days
A technology company achieved a 25% cost saving across 1,400 Kubernetes services with Sedai's autonomous optimization technology by rightsizing Dev/Test environments. AI-powered autonomous optimization optimized Kubernetes requests and limits in Kubernetes workloads and optimized instance count and type. An AI driven approach was more effective than manual optimization, especially given the small spend on each individual service. Optimization is one key capability of Sedai's autonomous cloud management platform.

Using Scheduled Shutdowns to Optimize Amazon ECS Development Costs

Using Scheduled Shutdowns to Optimize Amazon ECS Development Costs
Keeping Amazon ECS development & testing environments workloads running when they're not actively used can lead to considerable expenses for teams.Implementing scheduled shutdowns of Amazon ECS cloud resources when not in use can lead to cloud cost savings with relatively little implementation effort.Four ways to achieve shutdowns for Amazon ECS include (1) manual shutdowns, (2) Lambda functions, (3) Cloudwatch templates and (4) schedules inside a platform such as Sedai.

What is an Autonomous System?

What is an Autonomous System?
Is Tesla known for building the safest car on earth? They made an interesting discovery regarding task division. By examining all operations, they identified two distinct segments: One that can be effectively performed by machines and another that is better suited for humans. When the first segment is completely handled by machines without any human intervention, it is referred to as an autonomous system. This means that the system operates autonomously.
