CloudKeeper Kubernetes Tuner
CloudKeeper Kubernetes Tuner is a self-hosted platform for optimizing Kubernetes costs through workload rightsizing and node consolidation.
What CloudKeeper Kubernetes Tuner is
CloudKeeper Kubernetes Tuner is a self-hosted platform for optimizing Kubernetes costs through workload rightsizing and node consolidation. It analyzes observed CPU and memory usage to guide pod sizing, and its bin-packing feature consolidates workloads onto fewer nodes. Cluster views show cost and utilization, idle capacity, node packing, pod-level requested-versus-actual resources, and savings. The page lists AWS EKS, GCP, Azure and on-premises environments, and says the tool is designed to work alongside HPA, VPA and Karpenter. Analysis uses read-only access, and the product collects resource metrics and configuration metadata rather than application data, secrets or payload content. Teams can set which environments automate, which require approval, and what spend thresholds trigger action; production changes are opt-in. Actions respect configured policies, PodDisruptionBudgets and replica counts. The page says initial recommendations arrive within 48 hours of connecting a cluster. Early access is offered, and pricing is available on request. A SaaS option is in development.
Good
