Explore the critical role of error budgets in Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), detailing their definition, key components, and stakeholder involvement. It discusses various management approaches, the importance of maintenance windows, and how Sedai enhances error budget management through AI automation. Emphasizing continuous review reinforces balancing reliability and innovation for business success.

This article explores the significance of Service Level Objectives (SLOs) in enhancing service reliability and user satisfaction. It details methodologies for setting effective SLOs, the importance of error budgets, and best practices. It also highlights how Sedai’s AI-driven platform optimizes SLO management, empowering teams to focus on innovation while ensuring continuous service stability.

Uncover key strategies for optimizing Kubernetes costs across Amazon EKS, Azure AKS, and Google GKE. This article provides an in-depth comparison of pricing models, hidden expenses, and operational overheads. Learn how to calculate total Kubernetes costs and make informed decisions based on workload size and cloud provider. Additionally, discover best practices for optimizing multi-cloud and hybrid cloud strategies to achieve cost-efficiency in managing Kubernetes clusters.

Understanding system availability is crucial for maintaining uptime in today's digital infrastructure. This article explores vital availability metrics, common causes of downtime, and how AI-driven platforms like Sedai can proactively enhance availability, reduce Failed Customer Interactions (FCIs), and optimize system performance for better efficiency.

While each organization’s approach is different let’s consider a journey through four stages of maturity from high-touch, manual processes to sophisticated, intelligent systems that enhance performance and cost-efficiency with minimal human intervention.

Explore four essential engineering optimizations for Amazon ECS - rightsizing, task placement, autoscaling, and scheduled shutdowns. Learn how to enhance ECS service performance and reduce costs with real-world examples of CPU optimization, memory efficiency, and task management. Discover the benefits of AWS Graviton instances for cost-efficiency and performance, strategic deployment through task placement, and cost savings with larger instance types. Understand how autoscaling adapts to traffic changes and how scheduled resource shutdowns during off-peak hours can further reduce expenses. Optimize your AWS environment for better performance and cost-effectiveness with these proven strategies.

Successful ECS optimization impacts financial performance including both cost savings through reduced overprovisioning and discount management, and revenue gains from application performance and latency gains. While ECS offers a range of controls and strategies, including rightsizing and utilizing spot instances, implementation is complex when managed with manual methods.

In this post we'll take a look at ECS vs other Amazon Compute models and some key concepts in Amazon ECS.

KnowBe4's autonomous journey has led to 98% of their Amazon. ECS and Lambda services running autonomously, with a 27% cost reduction and over 1,100 autonomous actions in the past 3 months. KnowBe4 fhad aced an optimization challenge with their Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) services, leading them to adopt Sedai's autonomous optimization to reduce toil for engineers and improve efficiency. KnowBe4 implemented a three-part approach (Crawl, Walk, Run) to gradually adopt autonomous optimization, resulting in significant cost savings and performance gains.

In this post, we will cover how to master Amazon ECS optimization using autonomous techniques. The autonomous approach can help with both ECS cost optimization and performance optimization.
