A powerful solution for K8s cost optimization, best suited for cloud-native apps at scale.
What do you like best about the product?
CAST AI automatically rightsizes workloads, removes underutilized nodes, and selects the most cost-effective instances in real time—saving up to ~ 60% on cloud bills without sacrificing performance.
Their autoscaler is fast and responsive, scaling workloads vertically and horizontally with minimal delay, and supports real-time bin-packing.
Built-in security scanning and real-time insights about vulnerabilities and misconfigurations across your clusters are helpful for compliance.
With policies, teams can enforce governance (e.g., disallowing GPU usage, or restricting instance types), which is useful in large or shared environments.
Especially for organizations with dynamic or spiky workloads, CAST AI’s automation leads to substantial cost reductions.
• Simplicity and Speed:
The UI is clean, onboarding is relatively quick, and node replacements happen in minutes.
• Great for SRE/Platform Teams:
Offloads the pain of managing autoscaling, provisioning, and node selection.

What do you dislike about the product?
• Learning Curve on Governance:
Policy setup and interpretation of some recommendations require a bit of learning, especially for teams new to Kubernetes internals.
• Limited Documentation Depth:
Some users may find the documentation lacking for advanced use cases, particularly when integrating with non-standard setups (e.g., GKE workload identity federation, custom networking).

CastAi Review
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use UI. Consolidation of things at one place. Good cost savings and hibernation concept is really good.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some machine types are not supported. So, we need to select different machine types for our products. Build an overall platform not for just gcp but include other future of cloud as well such as db optimisations etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our costs have reduced significantly. Support is good, we get the response pretty fast if something goes wrong.
CAST AI Tool review
What do you like best about the product?
CAST AI helps organizations in managing cloud resources and optimizing the costing part with high availability at low cost . Their consulting team is very dependable and are available anytime almost.
Integration to CAST AI is super easy and we have connect our cluster to CAST AI tool and using node templates and resource allocation the machine type and resources were scheduled to the pods in the Google Kubernetes Engine cluster.Even we can define the region where to spawn our pods.
We used terraform script to connect our clusters to CAST AI tools.The CAST AI team is very helpful in the integration part by providing the documentation to connect our cluster to CAST AI.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes there are some issues that popup like machine types that might not supported by apps we provisioned by CAST AI tool which really annoys me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CAST AI helps us in reducing the costing part for cloud resource maintenance and they also helps us to rightsize the workloads in gke
Smooth Journey with CASTAI
What do you like best about the product?
CAST AI is an easy tool to onboard the kubernetes clusters.It provides the easy dashbords to understand the CPU and RAM utilization of the Node and workloads.It is easy to implement the things with the help of CAST.Quick action on the issues with the 24X7 customer support. Schedule rebalacing is the great feature provided by CAST with which we can schedule the rebalancing with the flexible timings.We from our organization will be frequently viewing the console.It also provides the slack configurations and alerts on the metrics.
What do you dislike about the product?
CAST AI should improve on the below features like proving the logs for the workload autoscalers,Audit logs has to be improved for more understanding of the onboardings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem CAST solved me is that we have been spending alot of credits on the kuberneties clusters in our organization but with the help of the CAST we have seen huge savings.
Amazing service that save a lot of unnecessary cloud expense
What do you like best about the product?
The support engineers and it's easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI can be improved and reports also.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Instead of checking how much resources do I need on any point of time, CastAI adjust it automatically by VPA and HPA which lead to select the optimal compute family according to usage, this save us a lot of cost.
Maximizing Cloud Savings Through Kubernetes Automation
What do you like best about the product?
CAST AI made Kubernetes cost optimization effortless.
We saw immediate results, with significant savings and zero downtime during implementation.
Main key points:
- advanced node automation for node management and spot instance utilization
