# \[AIAS-01] Guide: Explore an Optimization Study for a Kubernetes microservices application

This guide explains how to navigate an already executed optimization study that is available as part of the Akamas-in-a-sandbox (AIAS) environment. This is intended as a first step to then learn how to create an optimization study leveraging the Akamas UI and the CLI.

{% hint style="info" %}
Notice: This is a sample study designed to provide an overview of the Akamas capabilities. **You cannot run** this optimization study, as the target Kubernetes application is not available in the Akamas free trial sandbox environment.

See the next guide to create your first real Akamas optimization!
