Cast AI Wins 2026 CloudX Award for Cloud Management

Cast AI, the leading Kubernetes automation platform, today announced it has been named a winner of the 2026 CloudX Award in the Cloud Management category. The award, presented by DevNetwork, recognizes the technologies and platforms driving the most meaningful innovation across today’s cloud and infrastructure ecosystem.

Cast AI’s platform was selected by the independent DevNetwork Cloud Advisory Board based on technical innovation, industry impact, and overall contribution to advancing modern cloud technologies. The recognition follows a landmark year for Cast AI, which reached Unicorn status in January, has been featured in several industry analyst reports and has been named a leader by 190+ customers on G2.

“This award reflects what our customers already know: that autonomous automation is the only scalable answer to cloud and AI infrastructure waste,” said Laurent Gil, Co-founder and President of Cast AI. “With average GPU utilization across the industry sitting at just 5%, the organizations that win the next wave of AI adoption won’t be the ones who spend the most. They’ll be the ones who waste the least. That’s exactly what Cast AI is built to solve.”

“The 2026 CloudX Award winners are advancing what’s possible across cloud computing, infrastructure, platform engineering, and cloud-native technologies,” said Jonathan Pasky, Executive Producer & Co-Founder of DevNetwork. “Cast AI’s recognition reflects its meaningful impact on the future of cloud innovation.”

Cast AI will be recognized at the official 2026 CloudX Awards Ceremony on September 1, 2026, at the Santa Clara Convention Center, California, as part of CloudX 2026.
