    The Challenge

    Agentic AI delivers powerful business value, but it also introduces unpredictable behavior, nonlinear cost growth, and performance risk that traditional FinOps, monitoring, and capacity planning cannot control. Organizations struggle to choose the right platform, size environments correctly, and avoid overspending while still meeting performance expectations.

    Agentic AI environments run across multiple complex layers agents, orchestration, LLMs, vector stores, data platforms, and hybrid multi-cloud infrastructure making unified visibility and proactive performance management extremely difficult.

    Without the right approach, teams face:

    Runaway cloud costs

    Unpredictable spending that spirals out of control

    Inconsistent performance and SLG violations

    Service level guarantees broken by variable workloads

    Overprovisioning "just to be safe"

    Wasted resources from conservative capacity planning

    Slow incident resolution and unclear root causes

    Complex systems make troubleshooting difficult

    Loss of financial and operational predictability

    Unable to forecast costs or performance reliably

    Why Agentic AI Is Hard to Operate at Scale

    Unlike traditional applications, agentic AI systems are autonomous, dynamic, and workload-dependent. A single business process can generate multiple LLM calls, vector queries, retries, recursive chains, and agent-to-agent interactions making performance and cost extremely hard to predict and control.

    Organizations face five fundamental challenges:

    • Platform & Budget Selection

      Choosing the right platform and configuration without guesswork or overspending.

    • End-to-End Observability

      Achieving unified visibility across agents, orchestration, data platforms, and cloud infrastructure.

    • Pre-Production Sizing

      Accurately sizing agents and applications before production to avoid financial and performance surprises.

    • Dynamic Capacity Management

      Adapting resources as workloads fluctuate across regions, platforms, and deployment models.

    • Continuous Cost and Performance Control

      Preventing drift, degradation, and budget overruns as workloads evolve.

    The central challenge is decision risk:

    making high-impact planning and operational decisions without reliable, verifiable insight into how agentic AI systems actually behave at scale.
