CAST AI Production Checklist

Overview

Complete checklist for enabling CAST AI cost optimization on a production Kubernetes cluster. Covers Phase 1 (monitoring) through Phase 2 (full automation) with validation steps at each stage.

Prerequisites

CAST AI tested on a staging cluster first
Production API key (Full Access)
Change management approval for node lifecycle changes

Phase 1: Monitoring Only

Agent installed with read-only key
Agent pod healthy: kubectl get pods -n castai-agent
Console shows cluster as "Connected"
Savings report generating (wait 24h for full data)
Review savings estimate before enabling automation

Phase 2: Autoscaling Enabled

Workload Autoscaler

Workload autoscaler installed
Critical deployments annotated with min/max resource bounds
Anti-shrink cooldown set (300s minimum)
Memory headroom >= 20% for production workloads

Security

API key in secrets manager (not Helm values files)
Kvisor security agent installed
Network policies applied to castai-agent namespace
RBAC reviewed and minimized
Key rotation scheduled (90-day interval)

Monitoring and Alerting

Alert on agent pod restarts: kube_pod_container_status_restarts_total{namespace="castai-agent"}
Alert on API errors in agent logs
CAST AI console email notifications enabled
Savings report reviewed weekly
Dashboard tracking spot vs on-demand node ratio

Rollback Procedure

# Disable autoscaling immediately (keeps agent monitoring)
curl -X PUT -H "X-API-Key: ${CASTAI_API_KEY}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  "https://api.cast.ai/v1/kubernetes/clusters/${CASTAI_CLUSTER_ID}/policies" \
  -d '{"enabled": false}'

# Or remove all CAST AI components
helm uninstall castai-evictor -n castai-agent
helm uninstall cluster-controller -n castai-agent
# Keep the agent for monitoring if desired

Validation Commands

# Final pre-go-live verification
echo "=== CAST AI Production Validation ==="

# Agent healthy
kubectl get pods -n castai-agent -o wide

# All components running
helm list -n castai-agent

# Policies correct
curl -s -H "X-API-Key: ${CASTAI_API_KEY}" \
  "https://api.cast.ai/v1/kubernetes/clusters/${CASTAI_CLUSTER_ID}/policies" \
  | jq '{enabled, unschedulablePods: .unschedulablePods.enabled, downscaler: .nodeDownscaler.enabled, spot: .spotInstances.enabled}'

# Savings estimate
curl -s -H "X-API-Key: ${CASTAI_API_KEY}" \
  "https://api.cast.ai/v1/kubernetes/clusters/${CASTAI_CLUSTER_ID}/savings" \
  | jq '{monthly: .monthlySavings, percent: .savingsPercentage}'
