Evidence: Company case studyA write-up published by the company that makes the agent or uses it.

Outcome

Anthropic's Data Infrastructure team gave Claude Code dashboard screenshots, and it traced the problem to pod IP exhaustion and supplied the commands to add a new IP pool; Anthropic says this saved about 20 minutes during an outage.

Not sure how to start? Tell me what you're trying to get done and I'll help you turn it into a clear request.

Goal: Help me figure out why my Kubernetes cluster stopped scheduling pods, and give me the exact commands to fix it.

Quick check first: Is this happening now, and what changed recently?

What I need from you:
- Screenshots of the dashboards
- Access to the cloud console (you'll click through it with my directions)

Rules:
- Guide me through the console step by step to find the cause.
- Explain what each fix command does and how risky it is before I run it.
- If something is missing or unclear, ask me instead of guessing.
- Don't run anything yourself. I'll run the commands.

Output: The cause, the exact commands to fix it, and what to check afterward.

If any of this is unclear, tell me what you have and I'll help fill the gaps.

You'll know it worked when: pods start scheduling again.
