Visibility, Insight, and Action: Cast AI, Prom, Grafana
summary
Shows a concrete integration: a small Cast AI agent injects Kubernetes telemetry, Prometheus scrapes the Cast AI endpoint, and Grafana (or Grafana Alloy) dashboards and on‑call tie alerts to automated actions. Demonstrates live setup in ~30 minutes, reports 13 machine learning algorithms optimizing spot/on‑demand placement, typical savings 20–80% with a concrete example of $43,000 to $7,000 monthly, and gives operational rules (watch scrape intervals, use Prometheus scrape endpoint and Grafana Alloy clustering).
