OpenShift Optimization

Optimization That Doesn't Outpace Compliance

OpenShift is built for compliance-heavy industries. Sedai brings autonomous optimization to that same environment — with self-hosted, FedRAMP-compatible deployment, so tuning never outpaces your governance requirements.

On-Prem Kubernetes Wasn't Built to Tune Itself

Rightsizing self-managed clusters still relies on static estimates and manual effort — with no cloud elasticity to absorb the guesswork.

Static Sizing Wastes Capacity

Workloads run on worst-case CPU and memory requests that are set once and rarely revisited.

Manual Tuning Doesn't Scale

Rightsizing by hand is slow, guesswork-driven, and risky at the pace modern clusters change.

Toolchains Don't Optimize Themselves

HPA and GitOps controllers execute configs but can't tune themselves for cost or performance.
