Case Study: Augury achieves 80% cloud cost savings with Flexera Ocean

Augury saves 80% on AKS workloads with Flexera

Augury, a technology company specializing in AI-driven machine and process health solutions, faced the challenge of reducing the high costs and operational complexity of managing its Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) infrastructure. Their initial use of Azure Spot VMs with Terraform yielded minimal savings due to a rigid autoscaler. They partnered with Flexera to implement Flexera Ocean to streamline VM management and achieve more aggressive cost optimization.

Flexera Ocean provided intelligent automation for Augury's AKS clusters, enabling the use of heterogeneous Virtual Node Groups (VNGs) to support diverse machine types. This allowed Augury to migrate nearly 100% of its workloads to Spot VMs. The solution from Flexera delivered an 80% cost saving compared to on-demand pricing, drastically simplified infrastructure management, and ensured high availability for production and AI workloads.
