CAST AI CI Integration
Overview
Add CAST AI cost validation to CI/CD pipelines: verify savings thresholds, validate Terraform plans before apply, and gate deployments on autoscaler health.
Prerequisites
- GitHub Actions enabled
- CAST AI API key stored as repository secret
- Terraform state accessible from CI (if using Terraform)
Instructions
Step 1: GitHub Actions -- Savings Gate
# .github/workflows/castai-check.yml
name: CAST AI Cost Check
on:
pull_request:
paths: ["terraform/**", "k8s/**"]
schedule:
- cron: "0 8 * * 1" # Weekly Monday report
jobs:
cost-check:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- name: Check CAST AI Savings
env:
CASTAI_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.CASTAI_API_KEY }}
CASTAI_CLUSTER_ID: ${{ secrets.CASTAI_CLUSTER_ID }}
run: |
SAVINGS=$(curl -s -H "X-API-Key: ${CASTAI_API_KEY}" \
"https://api.cast.ai/v1/kubernetes/clusters/${CASTAI_CLUSTER_ID}/savings")
PERCENT=$(echo "$SAVINGS" | jq -r '.savingsPercentage')
MONTHLY=$(echo "$SAVINGS" | jq -r '.monthlySavings')
echo "### CAST AI Savings Report" >> $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY
echo "- Monthly savings: \$${MONTHLY}" >> $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY
echo "- Savings percentage: ${PERCENT}%" >> $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY
# Fail if savings drop below threshold
if (( $(echo "$PERCENT < 10" | bc -l) )); then
echo "WARNING: Savings below 10% threshold"
exit 1
fi
- name: Verify Agent Health
env:
CASTAI_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.CASTAI_API_KEY }}
CASTAI_CLUSTER_ID: ${{ secrets.CASTAI_CLUSTER_ID }}
run: |
STATUS=$(curl -s -H "X-API-Key: ${CASTAI_API_KEY}" \
"https://api.cast.ai/v1/kubernetes/external-clusters/${CASTAI_CLUSTER_ID}" \
| jq -r '.agentStatus')
if [ "$STATUS" != "online" ]; then
echo "CAST AI agent is ${STATUS}, expected online"
exit 1
fi
Step 2: Terraform Plan Validation
terraform-plan:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- uses: hashicorp/setup-terraform@v3
- name: Terraform Init & Plan
working-directory: terraform/
env:
CASTAI_API_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.CASTAI_API_KEY }}
run: |
terraform init
terraform plan -var-file=environments/prod.tfvars \
-out=plan.tfplan -no-color | tee plan-output.txt
- name: Check for Destructive Changes
run: |
if grep -q "will be destroyed" terraform/plan-output.txt; then
echo "DESTRUCTIVE CHANGES DETECTED in CAST AI resources"
exit 1
fi
Step 3: Store Secrets
gh secret set CASTAI_API_KEY --body "your-api-key"
gh secret set CASTAI_CLUSTER_ID --body "your-cluster-id"
Error Handling
| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Secret not found | Missing gh secret set |
Add secrets to repo |
| Savings check fails | Cluster not onboarded | Verify cluster ID is correct |
| Terraform init fails | State backend misconfigured | Check backend config |
| Agent offline in CI | Key scope mismatch | Use production API key |
