AI That Matters: Driving Real Outcomes in Network Operations
by Phil Gervasi
April 10, 2025
AI can be a transformative tool in network operations — but only when it’s tied to clear, measurable outcomes. Rather than chasing hype, IT and NetOps teams should focus on solving specific operational challenges like reducing MTTR, cutting costs, and stabilizing infrastructure. AI has real potential when strategically applied, and when aligned with business goals, it becomes a powerful ally in modern network operations.

Optimizing AWS NAT Gateway Usage
by Phil Gervasi
February 25, 2025
AWS NAT Gateways are essential for private subnet access but can quickly become a costly burden, even when idle. With Kentik, cloud and network engineers gain deep visibility into NAT Gateway traffic, allowing them to identify underutilized gateways, analyze high-cost usage, and explore cost-saving alternatives like VPC Endpoints, Internet Gateways, or direct peering. By optimizing traffic routing and eliminating unnecessary NAT Gateway expenses, teams can significantly reduce cloud networking costs while improving efficiency.
