Managing cloud infrastructure with AI assistant and Upsun MCP server

Artificial intelligence is changing the way we execute our everyday operations. AI assistants are incredibly intelligent; they can write code, explain complex concepts, and answer any question you throw at them. However, they can't execute actions on their own. If you ask your AI assistant to “create a backup of my database,” it may provide you with clear instructions, run the CLI commands directly or in some cases, even trigger actions through connected agent workflows.

Mastering AI Spend With CloudZero And LiteLLM

The AI landscape today feels a lot like the early days of the cloud: exciting, fast-moving, and completely fragmented. Every week, engineering teams are experimenting with dozens of large language models (LLMs) from providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, Meta, and beyond. They’re tweaking prompts, testing model performance, swapping context windows, and even running multiple models in parallel to figure out which one works best for each unique use case.

From FinOps for AI to AI-Native FinOps

One year ago, at AWS re:Invent, we launched CloudZero Advisor, a free, standalone AI assistant that enables anyone to ask questions about cloud spend in plain language. It was the first experiment of its kind in FinOps, a chance to see what people really wanted to know when cost data finally became conversational. Over the past year, Advisor has become a learning engine.

Best Cyber Monday VPS Deals 2025: How to Evaluate Real Value Beyond Discounts

December brings a flood of Cyber Monday VPS deals, each promising unbeatable savings. The challenge isn't finding deals. It's identifying which ones deliver actual long-term value versus temporary promotional pricing that evaporates after a few billing cycles. This guide evaluates Cyber Monday VPS deals using three core metrics: total cost over realistic usage periods, included features versus add-on fees, and management requirements that impact your team's time investment.

Building AI Apps with AWS: From Foundation Models to Production-Grade Agents

In the last two years, generative AI has moved from "cool demo" to become an integral element of IT production. The research proves this trend: according to Fortune Business Insights, global spend on generative AI reached an estimated $67 billion in 2024. By 2032, this spending is expected to pass almost $1 trillion, with a compound annual growth rate of approximately 40%. Moreover, a McKinsey & Company survey finds that roughly two-thirds of companies have already integrated generative AI into their workflows, and 80% use it in its broad sense. This technological transformation, hence, poses a critical new question.
