Cloud Infrastructure

Streamlines Kubernetes cluster onboarding to CAST AI using API key authentication, Helm charts, and Terraform configuration.

This skill simplifies the process of connecting EKS, GKE, AKS, or KOPS clusters to the CAST AI platform for automated cost optimization and autoscaling. It guides Claude through the technical steps of generating API keys, installing the CAST AI agent via Helm charts—for both monitoring and full automation phases—and setting up the Terraform provider. By automating these infrastructure tasks, it ensures a secure, consistent, and rapid setup for cluster cost-management and security scanning workflows.
