# 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 - [ ] Full Access API key provisioned and stored in secrets manager - [ ] Cluster controller installed - [ ] Evictor installed with conservative settings (non-aggressive) - [ ] Spot handler installed for graceful interruption handling - [ ] Autoscaler policies configured with appropriate limits: - [ ] `clusterLimits.cpu.maxCores` set to safe ceiling - [ ] `unschedulablePods.headroom` configured (10-15%) - [ ] `nodeDownscaler.emptyNodes.delaySeconds` >= 300 for production - [ ] `spotInstances.spotDiversityEnabled` = true - [ ] Node templates created for workload-specific needs (GPU, high-memory) - [ ] PodDisruptionBudgets set on all critical workloads ## Workload Autoscaler - [ ] Workload autoscaler installed - [ ] Critical deployments annotated with min/max resource...
