Frequently Asked Questions

Product Information

What is Sedai and how does it optimize cloud operations?

Sedai is an autonomous cloud management platform that uses machine learning to optimize cloud resources for cost, performance, and availability. It eliminates manual intervention by automating tasks such as capacity tweaks, scaling policies, and configuration management. Sedai's patented safety-first approach ensures every optimization is gradual, validated, and reversible, preventing incidents or SLO breaches. Learn more.

What products and services does Sedai offer?

Sedai offers an autonomous cloud optimization platform, Sedai for S3 (optimizing Amazon S3 costs), Release Intelligence (tracking cost, latency, and errors for each deployment), and multiple modes of operation (Datapilot, Copilot, Autopilot). It also provides enterprise-grade governance, proactive issue resolution, and continuous learning capabilities. See solution briefs.

What is Sedai's patented safety-first approach to cloud optimization?

Sedai is the only cloud optimization platform patented to make safe, autonomous optimizations in production. It performs slow, incremental changes with continuous validation checks, ensuring no incidents or SLO breaches occur. Unlike risky optimizers that make all-at-once changes, Sedai prioritizes safety and reliability. Read more about Sedai's safety.
