CAST AI is a Kubernetes automation platform that optimizes cost, performance, and security across clusters, with automated rightsizing, bin-packing, spot-instance management, and autoscaling. It analyzes running workloads and continuously adjusts compute to cut cloud spend while maintaining availability, reporting savings against an unoptimized baseline. It targets engineering teams running production Kubernetes on the major clouds that want hands-off cost reduction. A free tier provides a cost-savings report and monitoring, with paid automation tiers above it. It is multi-cloud and integrates with EKS, GKE, and AKS.
