Automation has optimized our kubernetes costs and continuously improves cluster efficiency
CAST AI has positively impacted our organization because we are now able to control our Kubernetes costs, and the automated node provisioning continuously monitors our application usage to select which node to provision, ensuring the application has sufficient compute power and improving our cluster efficiency. In terms of cost savings, we have currently reduced our costs by 30 to 40%, and it saves time while managing infrastructure because it continuously monitors and provides the nodes to the application, so we don't need to do anything ourselves. This is a fully automated process. Additionally, manual intervention has decreased significantly because this is a completely automated process.

Improves cloud cost control and accountability but could explore further enhancements
The most valuable features of this solution include the drive for accountability because we can allocate cloud costs back to specific business units or teams through showback and chargeback. Additionally, reduced waste is achieved because we can identify unused or underutilized resources and receive recommendations for resizing instances. VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth's unified dashboard helps streamline cloud management practices by unifying everything needed in one dashboard, such as metrics, instance workings, machines, and servers. All of this in just one dashboard is very helpful to improve agility and resolve issues, especially for the workloads. VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth helps manage compliance risks by preventing threats, stopping attacks, detecting threats, and securing workloads or endpoints where customers will be using the endpoints. The positive impact on my organization is substantial because we can reduce waste, optimize expenses, drive accountability, and secure the budget from unnecessary cloud costs.
