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.

Five Capabilities of Autonomous Cloud Management Systems

Learn about five key differences between autonomous and traditional automated systems. These include 1. Intelligent Decision-Making, 2. Dynamic Adaptability and Context-Awareness, 3. Self-Correcting Capability, 4. Complexity and 5. Scalability and Limited Human Oversight.

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.

Optimizing Cloud Costs & Performance with Autonomous Cloud: Panel Discussion with PayPal, TopCoder and Ironclad Engineering Leaders

The next generation of monitoring and optimization tactics have emerged, offering promising solutions to address these challenges. Today, we have the privilege of gaining insights from Sumesh Vadassery, Senior Director leading the platform engineering at PayPal, who sheds light on how PayPal manages cloud scaling to deliver the best customer experience while balancing cost and performance.

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.

Three Major Levers to Optimize ECS Costs

To optimize AWS ECS costs, focus on workload optimization by right-sizing resources, configuring efficient infrastructure with the appropriate instance types and mix, and making strategic purchasing decisions such as leveraging Savings Plans or Reserved Instances.
