Resources / Analyst Report
Gartner recognizes Avesha and states that an emerging technology can automate the optimization of price and performance while achieving predefined business objectives
In their report titled, "How Platform Engineering Teams Can Augment DevOps With AI." Platform engineering teams play a crucial role in managing and optimizing software delivery infrastructure across all SDLC environments. When platform engineers use self-service tools and AI-augmented technologies, they can balance cost, reliability, and sustainability to ensure efficient software delivery.
I understand that by submitting this form, I agree to receive communications from Avesha.
In the figure Gartner emphasizes that Platform Engineering Teams Support Tooling for AI-Augmented Optimization of Infrastructure Costs, Reliability, Sustainability.
Key aspects highlighted in the figure as per our understanding
1
AI-Augmented Tools for Cost Optimization:
Rightsizing Recommendations
Tools that analyze resource usage and provide recommendations to ensure that infrastructure resources are neither over-provisioned nor under-utilized, leading to significant cost savings.
Dynamic Resource Allocation
AI-driven solutions that adjust resources in real-time based on workload demands, helping to avoid unnecessary expenses.
2
Enhancing Reliability with AI:
Predictive Maintenance
AI tools that predict potential failures and suggest proactive maintenance, reducing downtime and improving system reliability.
Anomaly Detection:
Systems that detect unusual patterns and behaviors in real-time, enabling quick responses to prevent issues before they escalate.
3
Sustainability Goals:
Energy Efficiency:
AI-powered solutions that optimize energy consumption by managing resources more efficiently, contributing to environmental sustainability.
Carbon Footprint Reduction:
Tools that provide insights and recommendations for reducing the carbon footprint of infrastructure operations.
As described in the Report
Overcoming Challenges in Cloud Infrastructure
"Optimizing public cloud infrastructure is becoming especially difficult - but important at the same time. This is primarily due to the dizzying array of cloud services, inconsistent pricing models, the distributed nature of cloud-native applications, and seasonality in traffic patterns. To manage and govern infrastructure reliably, cost-effectively and sustainably, platform engineering teams should provide self-service platforms and tools that support Al-augmented optimization of costs, reliability and sustainability to product teams. Emerging technologies - such as autonomous workload optimization and augmented FinOps - can automate the process of optimizing price/performance while achieving predefined business objectives.”
Leveraging AI for Infrastructure Optimization
Gartner emphasizes the importance of integrating AI-augmented optimization tools to address constraints across the SDLC, ultimately enhancing cost savings, reliability, and sustainability, which are critical for modern software engineering practices.
