Understanding Operation Modes

Learn more about how Sedai safely utilizes permissions and manages your cloud resources.

We recommend integrating your cloud resources to Sedai with read-write access. Sound scary? Understandable. However, Sedai was specially engineered to prioritize safety with rigorous checks to ensure it only intervenes if it can guarantee success.

Additionally, you remain in complete control. When you integrate your cloud resources, you define how Sedai manages them through one of the following operation modes. You can pick a mode for an entire account, custom group (learn more), resource type, as well as for individual resources.

Mode
Access Type
Description

Datapilot (Default)

View

Analyzes monitoring data only

Copilot

Controlled execution

Your team reviews and chooses which recommendations it wants Sedai to execute; Sedai uses reinforcement learning to analyze results

Autopilot

Autonomous execution

Sedai uses reinforcement learning to independently, continuously, and safely analyze/execute on your resources

Keep in mind that autonomous is a journey, and these modes are designed help you explore a Crawl-Walk-Run approach. You can always upgrade access when you're ready.

Copilot and Autopilot modes both utilize reinforcement learning. However, in Copilot mode the system will always ask for permission to execute an operation. Autopilot mode automatically grants permission, allowing the system to independenlty make changes on your behalf.

We recommend setting up read-write access during onboarding so that if and when you want to try out Copilot and Autopilot modes, you can do so without delay. If you opt for read-only access, you will need to re-integrate your cloud resources to try out Sedai's full capabilities.
