We’re [Trevor](https://www.linkedin.com/in/trevorar) and [Mark](https://www.linkedin.com/in/markedwarddawson/), founders of Kura. After building distributed systems for a combined \\~15 years at places like Google and NASA, we know the challenges and triumphs of cloud-based products. We started Kura with the core belief that recent AI advancements can unlock the potential of software teams building on the cloud.\n\n# **What’s the problem?**\n\nAs web apps become increasingly core to the world, maintaining cloud infrastructure requires increasingly more time and resources.\n\n* Distributed systems are getting more complex than ever\n* Managed solutions trade off ease against control and cost\n* Cloud infra engineers are few and far between, leaving much of the work to teams who may not have extensive cloud experience\n\n# **What can Kura do?**\n\nKura is a chatbot and workspace that integrates directly with a live index of your cloud infra from services like AWS, GCP, and Azure.\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=83339\u0026key=user_uploads/1967655/be157dd9-7ee9-48bf-af07-aca46efca63c)\n\n**Kura can answer questions about your cloud system**, providing links and live information for queries like:\n\n* “Is my main API cluster healthy?”\n* “Which container version is running in prod?”\n* “Can you help me deploy a new container via CDK?”\n\n**Kura can run pre-packaged and user-defined “runbooks”** to proactively surface issues via notifications. For example:\n\n* Scheduled checks for over/under-utilized computing resources\n* Discovering and surfacing cost spikes and trends\n* Searching for common security vulnerabilities\n\nWith Kura, software teams can build faster and more confidently on the cloud, all while maintaining full control of their critical infrastructure.\n\n# **Our ask:**\n\n* If your team is building on the cloud and would like to learn more or sign up as a pilot customer, please reach out to [founders@usekura.com](mailto:founders@usekura.com).\n* If you know software teams or developers running into roadblocks due to cloud complexity, please send this post their way - we’d love to chat and learn more!\n* Follow us at [@kura_labs](https://x.com/kura_labs) to follow along on the journey!","slug":"LgB-kura-the-ai-devops-copilot","created_at":"2024-08-23T01:15:08.727Z","updated_at":"2026-05-25T04:02:07.028Z","total_vote_count":57,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/LgB-kura-the-ai-devops-copilot","share_image_url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post\u0026id=83339\u0026key=user_uploads/1967655/a1945e14-3f49-4491-8e31-d40335e6f5ab","company":{"id":29660,"name":"Hyrex","slug":"hyrex","url":"https://www.hyrex.io","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/c33003b33c54f32f641d1dd6956b58f331c3842d.png","batch":"Summer 2024","industry":"B2B","tags":["AIOps","Developer Tools","Cloud Computing","Infrastructure"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/29660"}}
