How does Sedai optimize container environments? Lisa Martin of SiliconANGLE & theCUBE asks the question of Sedai CEO Suresh Mathew as part of Amazon Web Services (AWS)'s Startup Showcase. Here are the five steps Suresh covers: 1. Rightsizing Workloads: Adjust container workloads to match demand, optimizing horizontal and vertical scaling Cost savings potential: 20-30%. 2. Rightsizing Infrastructure: Selecting the appropriate infrastructure type and groups for workload needs: Cost savings potential: 15-25% 3. Purchasing at Lowest Cost: Utilizing a combination of on-demand resources, Reserved Instances (RIs), Savings Plans, and spot optimization. Cost savings potential (high end): 72-90%. 4. Adapting to Traffic Changes: Implementing traffic predictions allows for more effective auto-scaling during peak times, optimizing cost and performance. Cost savings potential: Keeps workloads optimized as traffic patterns change 5. Adapting to New Releases: Applys release intelligence to new deployments uncovers changes in cost, performance and errors vs the prior release. Cost savings potential: Updates config to optimal state as the underlying app changes; alerts team to potential issues in the underlying app code. This dynamic approach helps organizations stay optimized as traffic patterns change and a continuous flow of new releases occur. #goautonomous #kubernetes #amazonecs #containers #cloudcostoptimization #cloudcostmanagement
