What does the Reporting team do

Our goal is to simplify Kubernetes cluster cost analysis and allow organizations to effectively allocate costs to teams and products enabling better financial visibility and achieving savings.

CAST AI Cost Monitoring provides an indepth look into cluster resource usage cost efficiency and estimated savings. We provide automated insights at various levels of granularity by continuously tracking cluster state and collecting metrics.

In our daily lives we are tackling technical challenges that extend beyond traditional reporting.

Bringing together the costs of running a service in a managed Kubernetes including control plane compute storage GPU and data transfer presents a challenging task itself.

Collecting and processing metrics for thousands of clusters with some clusters running tens ofthousands of services across hundreds of nodes we need to ensure the efficient handling of large data sets and enable realtime reporting capabilities. It is crucial for us to choose scalable architectures that can effectively manage increasing data volumes and meet user demands.

Through our possession of vast data sets and close collaboration with data analysts we identify and extract meaningful insights that reveal opportunities for cost optimization and overall system efficiency.

Is running a workload on a cheaper instance more costeffective compared to a pricier highperformance VM What potential savings can be achieved by transitioning to ARM CPUs Scaling vertically versus horizontally. Join us to learn much more.
