AI Governance & Cost Control
AI governance for infrastructure is the set of controls - RBAC, budget limits, audit trails, and compliance policy - that lets AI agents operate infrastructure within safe, attributable boundaries.
Anyone can spin up containers fast. The hard part is making sure agents do not break things. We have seen 500 million dollars in AI credits burned in a single month, entire annual budgets exhausted early, and breaches from over-permissioned AI tools.
AI governance means every agent action is bounded and attributed: who can do what and where (RBAC), how much they can spend (budgets), and a full audit trail exportable to your SIEM - all while meeting SOC 2, DORA, HIPAA, and the frameworks your industry requires.
These guides cover governance, cost control, security architecture, and compliance for AI-driven infrastructure.
$500 Million in One Month: What Happens When AI Has No Guardrails
A company burned $500M in Claude credits because nobody set a limit. Uber exhausted its 2026 AI budget. Microsoft canceled Claude Code licenses. The problem isn't AI - it's the total absence of governance around how people use it.
Shadow IT Is Back - And Vibe Coding Made It 10x Worse
AI coding tools are the new Shadow IT - but instead of rogue Trello boards, they have OAuth access to your code repos, cloud accounts, and production databases. Here's what's already gone wrong, and how platform engineering fixes it.
Secret Manager Integration: One Source of Truth for Humans and Agents.
Production secrets should live in one place and stay there, whether your next deployment is triggered by a developer or an AI agent. The Secret Manager integration connects AWS Secrets Manager, AWS SSM, or GCP Secret Manager to Qovery so secrets are referenced, never copied, and enterprise governance holds regardless of who deploys.
Beyond the spreadsheet: Using GitOps to generate DORA-compliant audit trails.
By adopting GitOps and utilizing management platforms like Qovery, fintech teams can automatically generate DORA-compliant audit trails, transforming regulatory compliance from a manual, time-consuming chore into an automated, native byproduct of their infrastructure.

Kubernetes cost optimization: agentic FinOps for enterprise fleets
The three pillars of Kubernetes spend (Compute, Network, and Storage) compound rapidly at enterprise scale. While manual cost-cutting works for a single cluster, managing 1,000+ clusters requires an agentic FinOps approach. By automating resource right-sizing, Spot instance orchestration, and idle environment shutdowns, organizations can eliminate cloud waste without sacrificing production stability.
OpenAI Just Proved Our Thesis: Everyone Is a Builder Now. Here's What Comes Next.
OpenAI reports 5M weekly Codex users - 20% non-developers, growing 3x faster. Six role plugins, hosted Sites, zero enterprise governance. The governed runtime is what's missing.

Cloud Cost Optimization Strategies: How to Reduce Cloud Infrastructure Costs
Learn how mid-size companies can dramatically cut cloud infrastructure costs using practical strategies like compute rightsizing, serverless, storage tiering, and automated scaling. This guide also explores how Qovery simplifies and automates cost optimization for growing teams - no full DevOps team required.
How do you govern AI agents that deploy infrastructure?
You govern agents at the API boundary, not by trusting the agent. A governed platform enforces RBAC (who and which agent can act, and where), budget and region policies, and a full audit trail attributing every action - so agents operate only within defined limits.
How do you prevent AI agents from causing runaway cloud costs?
Enforce per-environment and per-team budget caps, automatic cleanup of idle resources, and policy controls the agent cannot exceed. Combined with real-time cost visibility, this prevents the runaway-spend scenarios that occur when agents are given ungoverned access.
Speed is easy. Governance is the hard part.
Give agents a governed path to production - RBAC, budgets, and a full audit trail on every operation, on your own infrastructure.
