// key features
All-in-one Kubernetes automation platform
CAST AI continuously monitors your cluster and applies changes in real-time to keep your configuration optimal.
Cloud cost optimization
CAST AI continuously analyzes and optimizes compute resources. Connect your cluster, see suggested recommendations, and implement them automatically for immediate cost reduction.
Kubernetes cost monitoring
Have a quick or in-depth look into your cluster costs. Divide expenses by tags, namespaces, workloads, and more.
Container security
Identify Kubernetes workload security issues including public image vulnerabilities, arranged and presented in order of priority.
// sources of savings
Tangible savings for every application
CAST AI adapts to your application and delivers consistent savings via a range of optimization features. No trade-offs in performance, availability or cost. An agent scans your workloads and selects the best approach.

How the Social Giant ShareChat is Saving Millions While Reducing Engineer Effort
“We don’t spend time worrying about Kubernetes node pools and underlying resources anymore since we moved to CAST AI. The cluster scales up and down with the right optimized configuration when needed, ultimately saving Sharechat millions in our Kubernetes infrastructure.”
Jenson C S., Engineering Manager
$1M+/yr saved on GCP
ShareChat’s achieved immediate savings that kept growing into the 7-digit zone annually.
Cloud Cost Transparency, Control, and Saving $3M on Amazon EKS: How Iterable Does It
“When you start talking about those numbers, leadership cares, finance cares, they start building it into their cost projections and estimates. Even 1 or 3% of a massive AWS bill is significant. So when you say numbers like 20% people are losing their minds. And our total possible savings take that 20% closer to 60 or 70%, which translates to $3-4 million per year.”
Jason Sanghi, Staff Software Engineer, SRE
$3M+/yr saved on AWS
CAST AI proved to be equally effective for dev, staging, and production clusters.
Balancing Cloud Cost And Capacity: How OpenX Autoscales Spot VMs For Massive Cost Savings
“CAST AI feels like a very modern approach both from the technical and UI perspective. Add to that excellent support team resources to answer any questions, and you’ve got the three biggest things that stand out for me. It feels like driving a Tesla.”
Ivan Gusev, Principal Cloud Architect
100% on spot instances
OpenX runs nearly all of its compute on spot instances and uses CAST AI to manage node interruption and fallback to on-demand for uninterrupted operations.
Cost efficiency, speed, and engineer wellbeing: How the growing fintech Delio simplifies its Kubernetes management
“Pretty much every time I log into CAST AI, there’s a new functionality – and often one that we’ve asked for, which is really great to see. It’s clear that the team is investing a lot in the platform. And I’m hoping that we can have a long partnership with CAST AI.”
Alex Le Peltier, Head of Technology Operations
More engineer time
Running on AWS and Azure, Delio used CAST AI to cut the K8s management load of 4 engineers to spend on business-critical features.
How Branch saved millions of dollars on its cloud bill while maintaining reliability
“Partnering with CAST AI has been a big success for Branch, saving us several millions of dollars per year in AWS Cloud compute costs for our Kubernetes clusters while maintaining our reliability SLAs.”
Mark Weiler, Senior VP of Engineering
Millions saved on kOps
Branch saved big and incurred 0 incidents related to spot reclamation over 10 months.

CAST AI in the media
CAST AI has been featured on leading media, such as TechCrunch, Protocol, The Register, SiliconAngle, to name a few.
“CAST AI is a good product because it offers features that aren’t available in most node autoscalers on the market. I think its autoscaling capabilities can make a real difference to an e-commerce company.”
“CAST AI takes advantage of cloud-native technologies, containerization and Kubernetes to break the proprietary barriers that exist between clouds.”
“The good thing about using AI in cloud automation is that it can make decisions based on somewhat correlated variables with a limited amount of information.”
“CAST AI is one of the few vendors to view and automatically reduce cloud costs, adding that it has the ability to optimize cloud-native apps across providers such as Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure.”
“CAST AI uses artificial intelligence to identify which compute resources are needed for specific Kubernetes workloads and automatically selects the best combinations, configuring CPUs and memory to prevent over-provisioning. It continuously adds or removes resources as needed, ensuring customers aren’t overspending without compromising workload availability or performance.”
“Independent analyst Clive Longbottom told us that a monitoring and automated management system such as CAST AI makes a great deal of sense.”
“CAST AI relies on machine learning algorithms to make sure requested and provisioned CPUs remain synchronized over time to minimize overprovisioning.”
