CAST AI Reference Architecture

Overview

Describe the real control and data paths for one estate. Avoid a generic vendor diagram: show where identity, telemetry, recommendations, mutations, cloud provisioning, GitOps, and operator approvals actually cross boundaries.

Prerequisites

• Cluster inventory, providers, regions, network zones, and CAST AI organizations
• Selected modes: read-only, Workload Autoscaler, Node Autoscaler, or full
• IaC/GitOps ownership, existing provisioners, HPAs, PDBs, and data policy

Instructions

Use Read and Grep to map CAST AI hosted services, regional API base, enterprise or organization identity, cloud accounts, Kubernetes API servers, CI, GitOps controllers, secret managers, and operator workstations.

Step 2: Map in-cluster components by mode
