CAST AI is an all-in-one Kubernetes automation platform that analyzes your cluster and applies changes in real-time to keep your configuration optimal. The idea behind CAST AI is to deliver FinOps automation features to teams looking to control their cloud costs and simplify Kubernetes management across AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. Their approach to Kubernetes automation was born out of frustration with the lack of solutions to help control and reduce cloud costs in previous companies.
