How an AI Driven Approach Reduces Cloud Cost and Makes Your Kubernetes Infrastructure Autonomous

Measuring and controlling costs in cloud environments is often complex. But it does not need to be. In this session, we will discuss how an AI driven approach renders your cloud native applications on Kubernetes fully autonomous and rightsizes your cluster in sub-minute intervals the cloud compute resources. We will go over an experiment with the deployment of an application, and apply autonomous techniques that fiercely controls and optimizes the cluster.

This is not yet-another-boring powerpoint presentation. We will show a real life deployment of an application, and different cost optimization strategies, with real-time Kubernetes rightsizing.
