Machine learning for cost optimization in multi-cloud environments - has anyone else tried this approach?
We're evaluating AI-powered solutions for cost management and this looks promising.
Concerns:
- Data privacy: are we comfortable sending metrics to external AI?
- Accuracy: can we trust AI for security-critical tasks?
- Cost: is the ROI there for regulated industries?
Looking for real-world experiences, not marketing hype. Thanks!
We implemented this using the following approach:
1. First step...
2. Then we...

Results: significant improvement in deployment speed. Team: 14 engineers, 2 DevOps.
We evaluated Prometheus last quarter and decided against it due to licensing costs. Instead, we went with GitHub Actions which better fit our use case. The main factors were cost (30% cheaper), ease of use (2-day vs 2-week training), and community support.
Great point! We've seen similar results in our environment.
For those asking about cost: in our case (AWS, us-east-1, ~500 req/sec), we're paying about $10000/month. That's 70% vs our old setup with Jenkins. ROI was positive after just 2 months when you factor in engineering time saved.
What about security? Did you run into any compliance issues? Looking for real-world benchmarks if anyone has them.
Has anyone else encountered issues with ArgoCD when running in AWS ap-southeast-1? We're seeing intermittent failures during peak traffic. Our setup: hybrid cloud with New Relic. Starting to wonder if we should switch to ArgoCD.
How did you handle the migration? Any gotchas to watch for? Trying to build a business case for management.
Pro tip: if you're implementing this, make sure to configure memory limits correctly. We spent 2 weeks debugging random failures only to discover the default timeout was too low. Changed from 30s to 2min and all issues disappeared.
Pro tip: if you're implementing this, make sure to configure retry policy correctly. We spent 2 weeks debugging random failures only to discover the default timeout was too low. Changed from 30s to 2min and all issues disappeared.
