# \[AIAS-01] Explore the Study

Access the Akamas-in-a-sandbox (AIAS) environment and select "Offline Studies" from the left-hand-side menu.

Select the preloaded "Authentication service - minimize K8s cost" study.

The **Summary** tab displays high-level study information at a glance, including the best score obtained so far, a summary of the optimized parameters, and their values for the best configuration.

At first look, the higher part of the Study page shows:

* The ID of the Study - this can be used to run commands against this specific study
* The System under test, that is "Auth Service"
* The workflow used to run experiments against this system, that is, "Auth Service"

In the lower part of the Summary tab, you can see 4 sections:

1. The best score, that is the best result achieved in the optimization with respect to the baseline, according to the specified goal
2. The **optimization goal & constraints** (see below)
3. The selected KPIs (more on this later in the [Explore Results](/quick-guides/quick-guides-akamas-in-a-sandbox/aias-01-guide-explore-an-optimization-study-for-a-kubernetes-microservices-application/aias-01-explore-the-analysis.md) section)
4. The **optimization scope**, that is, the number of parameters that Akamas tuned in this study

Akamas is a goal-driven optimization solution, meaning that you can specify the goal you want to achieve, including your application performance and reliability constraints. If you click on the "See details" button in the Goal card, you can see that:

* The goal has been set to minimize the application cost, which is a metric representing the cost of the K8s deployments under optimization, based on CPU and memory requests
* Three constraints have been set to ensure that cost is reduced without impacting application performance or reliability. In this case, application response time, transaction throughput, and error rate do not differ more than 10% from the respective values in the baseline configuration.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.akamas.io/quick-guides/quick-guides-akamas-in-a-sandbox/aias-01-guide-explore-an-optimization-study-for-a-kubernetes-microservices-application/aias-01-explore-the-study.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
