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 optimize 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 a key capability of Sedai's autonomous cloud management platform.

FCIs Are the New Availability
By assessing the success or failure of customer interactions, Failed Customer Interactions (FCIs) offer a way to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of a system. The article aims to demystify FCIs by examining their definition, measurement techniques, and their crucial role in achieving operational excellence. Furthermore, it explores how Sedai enhances the ability to drive down FCIs.

Kubernetes Cluster Scaling Challenges
In the ever-evolving landscape of application deployment, we have come a long way. Once upon a time, our applications found their home on physical servers. Then, as technology advanced, we embraced the realm of virtual machines. But now, in the present day, we have entered a new era where containers have taken the center stage for application deployment. Why did we make this shift? Well, it all boils down to addressing the challenges we encountered in the traditional and virtualized modes of deployment. Containers emerged as a powerful solution, offering us a way to overcome those hurdles and unlock new possibilities for efficient and flexible application deployment.

Autonomous Optimization of Amazon ECS at KnowBe4
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.

What is an Autonomous System?
Now, how does an automated system differ from an autonomous system?. If Tesla were to provide alerts for every left and right turn and you, as the driver, make those turns based on the alerts, that would be an automated system. In this case, the responsibility is shifted to the driver rather than relying solely on the machines.
