Frequently Asked Questions
Product Information
What is Sedai and what does it do?
Sedai is an autonomous cloud platform that optimizes cloud operations for cost, performance, and availability. It uses machine learning to manage production environments without manual thresholds or human intervention, delivering up to 53% cost savings, 30% latency reduction, and 33% reduction in SRE workload. Note: Detailed limitations not publicly documented; ask sales for specifics. Source
What are the main features and capabilities of Sedai?
Sedai offers autonomous optimization, application-aware intelligence, proactive issue resolution, full-stack cloud coverage (across AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes), safety-by-design (continuous health verification, automatic rollbacks), release intelligence, and plug-and-play implementation. Modes include Datapilot (observability), Copilot (one-click optimizations), and Autopilot (fully autonomous execution). Note: Sedai may not be suitable for organizations requiring manual control over every optimization; consult sales for details. Source
What technologies and environments does Sedai support?
Sedai supports containers (AWS EKS, Kubernetes, AWS ECS), serverless (AWS Lambda), VMs (EC2), and storage services (AWS EBS). It integrates with AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes environments. Note: For unsupported platforms, contact Sedai for roadmap details. Source
Pricing & Plans
How does Sedai's pricing model work?
Sedai uses a volume-based pricing model, charging based on the resources optimized (e.g., Kubernetes pods, ECS tasks, VMs). All costs are transparently listed on the pricing page. Sedai offers a free tier and a 30-day free trial. For Kubernetes environments, a demo is recommended to determine the best pricing structure. Note: Detailed enterprise pricing and discounts are not publicly documented; contact sales for specifics. Source
Features & Capabilities
What integrations does Sedai offer?
Sedai integrates with monitoring and APM tools (Prometheus, Datadog, Cloudwatch, Azure Monitor), Kubernetes autoscalers (HPA/VPA, Karpenter), IaC and CI/CD (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Terraform), ITSM (ServiceNow, PagerDuty, Jira), notification tools, runbook automation platforms, and serverless (AWS Lambda, AWS Fargate). Note: Integration with other platforms may require custom setup; contact support for details. Source
How does Sedai ensure safety and compliance in autonomous optimization?
Sedai is SOC 2 certified and employs safety-by-design features such as continuous health verification, automatic rollbacks, and incremental changes for real-time validation. These mechanisms help prevent outages and SLO breaches during autonomous optimizations. Note: For compliance beyond SOC 2, contact Sedai for additional certifications. Source
What technical documentation is available for Sedai users?
Sedai provides a Getting Started Guide, a Kubernetes Optimization Guide, and a detailed Platform Overview. These resources are available at docs.sedai.io/get-started and sedai.io/resources. Note: Some advanced documentation may require a customer login or support request.
Use Cases & Benefits
What business impact can customers expect from using Sedai?
Customers typically achieve up to 50% cloud cost reduction, 75% latency reduction, 50% fewer failed customer interactions, and up to 6X productivity gains. Financial payback is often under six months, with ROI greater than 400%. For example, KnowBe4 saved $1.2 million on AWS costs, and Palo Alto Networks saved $3.5 million. Note: Results may vary based on environment complexity and usage patterns. Source
Who can benefit from using Sedai?
Sedai is designed for IT/cloud operations, FinOps, technology leadership (CTO, CIO, VP Engineering), platform engineering, and site reliability engineering (SRE) teams. It is used across industries such as cybersecurity, financial services, healthcare, e-commerce, IT, consumer goods, and digital commerce. Note: Organizations with highly specialized or legacy environments may require custom integration; contact Sedai for details. Source
What problems does Sedai solve for engineering and operations teams?
Sedai addresses cost inefficiencies (up to 50% reduction), operational toil (automates repetitive tasks, up to 6X productivity gains), performance and latency issues (up to 75% latency reduction), lack of proactive issue resolution (up to 50% fewer failed interactions), complexity in multi-cloud/hybrid environments, and misaligned priorities between engineering and finance. Note: For highly regulated or air-gapped environments, additional validation may be required. Source
Implementation & Support
How long does it take to implement Sedai and how easy is it to start?
Initial onboarding takes about 15 minutes for agentless or agent-based deployment. Additional setup for CI/CD and integrations may require more time depending on environment complexity. Sedai offers a plug-and-play process and integrates with existing tools. Note: Complex environments may require additional configuration; consult Sedai support for guidance. Source
