DESCRIPTION:At a federal space agency\, I led DevOps teams managing Kubern
 etes clusters with manual scaling decisions. Every Friday\, the same SREs 
 made the same scaling calls—burning budget and burning out. When budget 
 pressure hit\, two senior engineers were on the line for termination. The 
 breakthrough wasn't technical. It was realizing that cost visibility and i
 ntelligent automation weren't luxuries—they were survival. By giving tea
 ms visibility into cost impact\, automating repetitive scaling decisions\,
  and building trust in the system\, we cut infrastructure costs significan
 tly. Those two engineers stayed. This talk is about the leadership moves t
 hat work: how to introduce automation without losing your team's trust\, a
 nd why cost optimization can be the difference between keeping or losing y
 our best people.
