Especially in this mountainous period of Generative AI, cloud costs are at all times high. But that’s not just because businesses are used more comput – they don’t use it smoothly. In fact, this year, businesses are expected to waste $ 44.5 billion to unnecessary cloud spending.
This is an extended problem for Akamai Technologies: Company has a large and complex cloud infrastructure in many clouds, not discussing many security requirements.
UNTO Troubleshooting, Cybersecurity and Providers to Carry Into the Kubertes Automation Platform Discard youwhose AI agents help optimize cost, security and speed across the cloud environments.
Finally, the platform helped cut Akamai between 40% to 70% of cloud costs, depending on the workload.
“We need a continuous way to optimize our infrastructure and reduce our cloud costs without sacrificial performance,” Dekel Shavit, Senior Director of Cloud Engineering in Akasai, told Venturebeat. “We are the processes of security events. The delay is not an option. If we cannot answer a security attack in real time, we have failed.”
Specialty agents monitoring, analyzing and moving
Kubernetes manage infrastructure running applications, which are easier to deploy, scale and handle them, especially Cloudy and microservice architectures.
Cast Ai has integrated into the Kubernetes Ecosystem to help customers scale their clusters and workloads, select the best infrastructure and manage compute lifecycles, explained founder and CEO Laurent Gil. Its core platform is the automation automation application (APA), which works through a team of specialized agent agents who continue to monitor, analyze and take action to improve application, security, effectiveness and costs. The provision of companies they need from AWS, Microsoft, Google or others.
The APA is run by multiple machine learning models (ML) with known reinforcement (RL) based on historical data and learns standard observation and heuristics. It is associated with infrastructure-as-as-code (IAC) items in many clouds, making it a perfect automatic platform.
Gil explained that the APA was built in tenet that the care was just a point starting; As he called it, observing is “foundation, not the purpose.” Cast Ai also supports adding adoption, so it is not necessary to be left and replaced; They can accompany existing tools and workflows. In addition, nothing left customer infrastructure; All analysis and actions occurred within their dedicated clusteres of the kubernetes, providing additional security and control.
Gil also emphasized human-gaternal importance. “Automation has filled the decision of the person,” he said, with the apa to keep people in-middle-classflows.
Unusual Problems in Akamai
Shavit explained that Akamai’s big and complex Infrastructure in the cloud Powers Content Delivery Network (CDN) and cyberseS services in Cyberse Given “Some of the most demanding world services and world services while following service level requirements
He explained that for some of the services they consume, they may be the largest customer for their retailer, which increases they have done “tons of hyperscalers to support their needs.
In addition, Akamai serves customers in various sizes and industries, including many financial institutions and credit card companies. Company services are directly related to the security posture of its customers.
Finally, Akamai should balance all this complexity at the cost. Shavit explained that real-life attacks with customers can drive 100x or 1,000x capacity of its infrastructure components. But “scaling our cloud capability through 1,000x at first cannot be financially,” he said.
His team considers optimizing the side of the code, but the natural complexity of their business model requires focus on the core infrastructure.
Automatically optimize the entire kubernetes infrastructure
What Akamai needs is a platform of Kubereting Automation that can optimize running costs throughout Core infrastructure In real time in many clouds, Shavit explained, and scaling applications opened based on regular change needs. But all this should do if the application’s performance is not offered.
Before carrying out the cast, Stavit says the Devopops team of Akamai manually holding all the kubernetes workloads just a few times a month. Given its measure and complexity of its infrastructure, it is challenging and expensive. Only through the analysis of workloads of workloads, clearly they miss any potential in real-time optimization.
“Now, hundreds of cast agents do the same tuning, unless they do it every second of each day,” Shavit said.
The core of the Akamai has used autoscaling, in-depthe kubereting automation with costs of costs of total cost and cost analysis capabilities.
“We get an understanding of the cost analytics two minutes in conjunction, which is something we have never seen before,” Shavit said. “Once active agents are set up, optimization is kicked automatically, and the storage begins to enter.”
Spots Inside – where businesses unused unused cloud prices – Clearly committed acamai, especially the complicated workloads of Akamai, especially the complicated accomplishments of Akamai, especially the complex actions of Akamai, especially the complicated accomplishment of Akamai, especially sparking of Akamai. This means they need excess workloads or put more hands working on them, which have been overcome by finance.
With Cast Ai, they have used opportunities in the area with “zero investment” from the engineering team or operation. The amount of opportunities in place is “super clear”; They just need to find the right tool to use it. It’s one of the reasons they moved forward with the cast, Shivit said.
While the 2x or 3x storage of their Cloud Bill is large, shavit means that automation without intervention is “precious.” This results in “a lot of” time storage time.
Before carrying out Cast Ai, his team “often acts in knobs and switches” to make sure their customers and customers are growing in the service they need to invest.
“The hands of the greatest benefit is the fact that we do not need to manage our infrastructure anymore,” said Savit. “The Cast team agents made it for us. That’s what we’ve released our team to focus on what our customers are most important.”
