ScaleOps
ScaleOps is a Kubernetes platform that continuously allocates and scales CPU, GPU, and memory using workload context.
What ScaleOps is
ScaleOps is a Kubernetes platform that continuously allocates and scales CPU, GPU, and memory using workload context. It adjusts pod CPU and memory requests in real time according to workload behavior and live cluster conditions. Node selection, Karpenter instance selection, and disruption budgets are optimized to reduce underused capacity. GPU capabilities include dynamic sharing, workload rightsizing, and replica scaling based on pod-level utilization. Cost monitoring breaks Kubernetes costs down by cluster, namespace, team, application, annotations, or labels. ScaleOps is self-hosted on Kubernetes, stores data locally, and operates without external dependencies. Supported environments include EKS, GKE, AKS, OpenShift, Rancher, Oracle Cloud, and Alibaba. It also describes air-gapped operation and FIPS compatibility for FedRAMP-certified environments, and lists SOC 2 Type II. Integrations include HPA, KEDA, Karpenter, Cluster Autoscaler, Argo CD, Flux, and CI/CD pipelines. Pricing is by custom quote, and a free trial is available.
Good
- Adjusts pod resources using live workload conditions
- Includes GPU sharing, rightsizing, and replica scaling
- Breaks costs down across Kubernetes dimensions
- Supports air-gapped and FIPS-compatible deployments
- Works with major autoscaling and delivery tools
Watch out
- Pricing is available only by custom quote
- No free plan is listed
- Requires Kubernetes deployment
- Data is stored locally without external dependencies
Who it suits
ScaleOps suits teams running production applications, AI agents, or inference and training models on Kubernetes. It is relevant where self-hosting, local data storage, workload rightsizing, and cost visibility are required.
Verdict
ScaleOps combines workload rightsizing, GPU controls, node optimization, and Kubernetes cost monitoring in a self-hosted platform. Teams should verify supported cluster environments and deployment requirements before requesting a quote.
