AI Optimized Kubernetes Infrastructure with CAST AI | Episode #59

CAST AI brings resource and cost optimization and security to Kubernetes using an AI

In this episode I talk with Leon Kuperman. CTO and Co-Founder at CAST AI. CAST AI specializes in cloud optimization through an intelligent platform that reduces costs, optimizes devops, and automates disaster recovery. The platform uses an intelligent optimization engine to deliver cost efficient, high performing, and resilient infrastructure for every Kubernetes workload. Leon and I talk about how he started the company from the challenges faced in previous companies, dealing with cloud cost complexity and how overprovisioning and sandbagging of compute resources leads to inefficient operations, increased costs and how optimizing autonomously benefits the planet on a whole!

CAST AI was founded in 2019 and is based in Miami.
