Kloia and Kubeadapt.io: A Partnership Built Around Real Kubernetes Challenges

Kubernetes adoption is no longer the hard part. Running it efficiently is.

As organizations scale their container workloads across multiple clusters and cloud providers, infrastructure costs climb and resource waste grows. Most platform teams know they are overspending but lack the tooling to act on it safely.

Kloia and Kubeadapt.io are partnering to address this directly.

Kloia is a technology consulting company specializing in DevOps, cloud-native transformation, and platform engineering. As a CNCF member, Kubernetes Certified Service Provider (KCSP), and AWS Premier Tier Services Partner with Amazon EKS Delivery validation, Kloia brings verified, deep expertise across Kubernetes, CI/CD, observability, and multi-cloud architecture.

With offices in London, Istanbul, Amsterdam, Dubai, Delaware, and Hyderabad, Kloia helps organizations modernize their infrastructure and build scalable, reliable platforms. Their team holds CKA and CKAD certifications, and their consulting model is hands-on. They join your teams to implement, operate, and continuously improve the platforms they build.

Many teams struggle with rising Kubernetes costs as their environments grow. Working with Kubeadapt.io allows us to offer a practical way to optimize workloads and run more efficient platforms without adding complexity.

Most organizations overprovision their Kubernetes clusters by 50-70%. The reasons are understandable. Nobody wants to be the engineer whose cost-cutting caused an outage at 2 AM. So teams set generous resource requests, add buffer nodes, and watch monthly cloud bills grow quarter over quarter.

The challenge isn't awareness. Platform teams know they're overspending. The challenge is acting on it safely:

• Rightsizing without risk: How do you reduce CPU and memory requests without triggering OOM kills or throttling?
• Visibility without noise: How do you separate actionable savings from dashboard clutter?
• Governance without friction: How do you prevent cost waste before it reaches production, without slowing down developers?
• Planning without guesswork: How do you model infrastructure changes (spot instances, ARM migration, node consolidation) before committing?

These are the questions Kloia's clients ask regularly, and what Kubeadapt was built to answer.

Kubeadapt is a Kubernetes cost optimization and observability platform. It shows where your money is going and what you can do about it, without making changes to your clusters on your behalf.

Deep Cost Observability

Kubeadapt provides granular cost visibility across namespace, workload, container, team, and department levels, with historical trends. The Cost Query Engine supports custom queries, allocation tracking, and infrastructure cost analysis. Teams can answer "who is spending what, and why" with precision.

Workload Rightsizing

Container-level rightsizing recommendations based on actual usage patterns: p50, p75, p95, and p99 percentiles. Kubeadapt flags over-provisioned deployments, abandoned workloads, and misconfigured resource limits. Engineers see exactly what will change and why before applying changes.

Capacity Planning and Infrastructure Optimization

A full capacity planning suite that goes beyond simple utilization charts. Kubeadapt analyzes node groups, pod density, spot vs. on-demand distribution, availability zone costs, and utilization patterns by hour. It includes:

• Spot migration assessment: workload-level eligibility scoring with risk analysis and blocker detection
• Graviton/ARM analysis: identify which node groups can migrate to ARM-based instances, with savings projections and migration complexity ratings
• What-if simulator: model the impact of switching to spot, consolidating node pools, or migrating to Graviton before making any changes
• Node group visualization: see your current and optimized infrastructure side by side, with per-node cost and utilization data

Best Practices and Compliance

Automated checks against Kubernetes best practices: resource limits, PodDisruptionBudgets, probe configuration, replica strategies, and more. Each finding comes with context, impact assessment, and remediation guidance, focused on the cost and reliability trade-offs that matter in production.

Shift-Left Cost Prevention (coming soon)

Shift-left cost prevention will catch resource overprovisioning in pull requests before deployment. With GitOps integration, cost policies will evaluate deployments at PR time and block, warn, or require approval when thresholds are exceeded. See the cost gates setup guide for details on the planned workflow.

CLI Access

A dedicated CLI for teams that prefer terminal workflows. Query costs, view recommendations, and apply changes without leaving the command line.

CO2e and Energy Consumption Reporting

Track the environmental impact of your infrastructure alongside costs. Kubeadapt reports on energy consumption and CO2e emissions, helping organizations meet sustainability goals and regulatory requirements.

For a consulting firm that operates across dozens of client environments, the choice of tools matters.

Transparency builds client trust. Kloia's clients need to understand what's being recommended and why. Kubeadapt shows the data behind every suggestion: usage percentiles, cost projections, and risk assessments.

Flexibility across environments. Kloia works with AWS, Azure, GCP, and on-premises clusters. Kubeadapt supports all of them without requiring cloud-specific agents or proprietary infrastructure.

Safe, incremental optimization. Rather than automated changes that could impact production workloads, Kubeadapt provides clear recommendations that teams apply at their own pace. For clients in regulated industries or with strict change management processes, this is critical.

FinOps enablement, not just cost cutting. Cost allocation by team, namespace, and department helps Kloia build lasting FinOps practices at client organizations, not just one-time savings.

Fast time-to-value. Cluster onboarding takes minutes, not weeks. Kloia can demonstrate value in the first meeting with a client, showing real savings opportunities within the first hour of connecting a cluster.

As a Kubernetes Certified Service Provider and AWS Premier Partner, we prioritize tools that deliver measurable, transparent results without operational risk. Kubeadapt's engineering-first approach, from granular cost visibility to safe, data-driven recommendations, enables us to build lasting trust with enterprise customers. In our pilot engagement with one of our clients, we achieved 32% cost savings while maintaining operational stability.

Together, Kloia and Kubeadapt.io offer a complete Kubernetes cost optimization engagement:

• Assessment: Connect clusters, identify waste, and quantify savings opportunities, often within the first day
• Strategy: Build a prioritized optimization roadmap based on actual data, not estimates
• Implementation: Apply rightsizing, spot migration, and infrastructure changes with full visibility and safety controls
• Governance: Set up alerting and team-level accountability to prevent waste from recurring
• Continuous improvement: Measure captured savings and report progress to stakeholders

Kloia brings the platform engineering expertise, Kubeadapt brings the cost visibility and optimization tooling. Together, the goal is clear: help organizations stop overpaying for Kubernetes.
