In today’s tech-driven world, cloud costs are skyrocketing, with businesses wasting an astounding $44.5 billion this year alone due to inefficient resource use. Akamai Technologies found itself grappling with this challenge, managing a complex and sprawling cloud infrastructure alongside stringent security measures.

To tackle this issue, Akamai turned to Cast AI, the cutting-edge Kubernetes automation platform that deploys AI agents to streamline costs, security, and performance within cloud environments.

The results were staggering—Akamai managed to reduce its cloud expenses by a staggering 40% to 70%, depending on the task at hand.

Dekel Shavit, Akamai’s Senior Director of Cloud Engineering, emphasized the need for continuous optimization without compromising performance. As he stated, 'We’re the ones processing security events. Delay is not an option. If we can’t respond to a security attack in real-time, we have failed.'
