Why it works

The story earns New Capability because KT did not simply speed up existing GPU management; it built an entirely new incident-driven operations platform that did not exist before. The before-state was manual spreadsheets and context-switching across disconnected dashboards, with no systematic lifecycle at all. Clarity is a strong secondary because the headline question the case study opens with is explicitly 'who is using how many GPUs, and where?' but the framing leads with net-new capability rather than visibility alone.

Steal this

Anchoring the entire operations workflow to a native incident management object (the Datadog Incident) so that every GPU carries a traceable IR number as a tag from request through reclamation. This gives readers a concrete, copyable architectural pattern rather than a vague 'we used the platform' narrative.
