What Skuber+ is
Skuber+ is a web-based SaaS platform for optimizing Kubernetes clusters through an agent installed on a customer’s cluster. It identifies over-provisioned resources, adjusts workload sizing, and applies bin-packing and autoscaling to reduce resource waste. Its dashboard reports cost by cluster, namespace, and workload, with 30-day trends and projected savings. Policies can adjust resources based on traffic and development environment, including an Auto Balance policy for staging. The service can identify interruptible workloads for spot instances; its site says these can offer up to 90% savings compared with on-demand instances. An AI assistant analyzes CPU and memory use, suggests VPA and autoscaling settings, and answers Kubernetes questions. A single console displays multiple clusters and their status, resource use, and costs; users can revert to the pre-optimization state. AWS EKS and OCI OKE are listed as supported, while Azure AKS and GCP GKE are marked coming soon. The agent supports Kubernetes version 1.33.1 or below and needs at least 600m CPU and 700 MiB memory. The 30-day trial provides full access for one cluster. Professional is listed at $5 per vCPU, with no billing period specified.
