S6 E22: Stop Over-Provisioning: Automating Kubernetes FinOps with Machine Learning with Matt Provo of StormForge
Jun 14, 2022 · Season 6 · Episode 22 · 32 min
Automatic resource management for Kubernetes
Matt Provo has been married for 16 years and has three kids. So between the Provo household and his startup, there is never a dull moment. He is originally from the West Coast, until he came to Boston for grad school. He was influenced through his love of sports, specifically playing soccer through college. Early in life, he had the opportunity to help start a non-profit organization, based around documentary films of children in Africa. In doing so, he learned a lot about, and fell in love with, building a healthy, impactful organization.
While building a platform surrounding HVAC software, Matt and his team ran into some challenges around the diversity of their implementations. When they lifted & shifted to Kubernetes, they unlocked the problem around resource scaling that their current solution targets today.
This is the creation story of StormForge.
