Automate the deployment of CAST AI across various multi-cloud Kubernetes clusters, including EKS, GKE, and AKS. This module uses Terraform Infrastructure as Code (IaC) patterns to reliably configure necessary components like IAM roles, node autoscaling policies, and cluster resources, ensuring standardized onboarding across different cloud environments.

A comprehensive guide to optimizing CAST AI's core performance metrics, including node provisioning speed, autoscaler responsiveness, and API call efficiency. This skill covers techniques like configuring headroom, selecting optimal instance families, tuning evictors, and implementing caching for multi-cluster dashboards to ensure high availability and cost efficiency in cloud environments.

This guide details securing the CAST AI integration across multiple layers. It covers best practices for API key management (including rotation and secrets storage), implementing least-privilege RBAC using 'kubectl', deploying the Kvisor security agent for runtime scanning, and setting up Kubernetes Network Policies to restrict egress traffic. Use this when hardening production clusters or performing security audits.

A comprehensive guide detailing the systematic process for upgrading and migrating CAST AI components. This includes updating Helm charts (agent, controller, evictor) and Terraform providers. It outlines prerequisites, step-by-step upgrade procedures, validation checks, and necessary rollback procedures to ensure a safe transition between versions.

A comprehensive diagnostic guide for common issues encountered with CAST AI agents, Kubernetes autoscaling, API connectivity, and resource provisioning. Covers scenarios like agent crashes, 401 errors, and scaling failures, providing specific commands (kubectl, curl, helm) and detailed fixes for robust troubleshooting.

This skill guides the setup and configuration of the CAST AI Workload Autoscaler, enabling dynamic right-sizing of pod resource requests (CPU and Memory). It automatically adjusts resources based on actual usage, significantly reducing cloud over-provisioning costs. Use this guide to implement workload scaling policies, configure resource limits via Kubernetes annotations, and monitor scaling events in Kubernetes environments.

This script generates a comprehensive diagnostic bundle for CAST AI deployed on a Kubernetes cluster. It automatically collects crucial data including component logs, pod statuses, Helm releases, node inventories, and cluster events into a single archive. Use this tool when preparing a detailed support ticket or performing deep technical troubleshooting.

This skill provides comprehensive API calls using `curl` to interact with the CAST AI platform. It allows users to list connected Kubernetes clusters, retrieve detailed cost savings reports, and inspect the inventory of managed nodes. It is essential for verifying connectivity, auditing cloud spending, and monitoring resource allocation after onboarding.

A comprehensive guide to connecting any Kubernetes cluster (EKS, GKE, AKS) to CAST AI for cost optimization, autoscaling, and security monitoring. This skill covers the entire setup process, including generating API keys, installing the CAST AI agent via Helm charts, and integrating the provider using Terraform.

This guide sets up a robust local development loop for integrated Kubernetes infrastructure using CAST AI. It allows developers to test autoscaler policies, validate Terraform modules, and measure potential cloud cost savings in a dev environment before deploying to production. This is essential for building cost-aware and efficient CI/CD pipelines.

A comprehensive reference architecture guide for deploying and managing CAST AI across multiple Kubernetes clusters (Dev, Staging, Prod). It details best practices for infrastructure provisioning using Terraform, focusing heavily on cost optimization techniques such as autoscaling, spot instance management, and environment-specific resource policies. Ideal for setting up team standards and ensuring reliable, cost-effective deployments.

A set of production-ready wrappers and patterns for interacting with the CAST AI REST API. This package provides robust client implementations in TypeScript and Python, handling critical features such as typed responses, singleton management, automatic retry logic with backoff, and managing cloud resources (e.g., Kubernetes clusters, node optimization). Use it when building reusable, reliable clients for cost optimization and infrastructure management.
