Smart Alerting: Catch Cost Issues Before They Hit the Bill
Update, Sep 23, 2026: Corrected to match what ships. Cost-spike detection is now described as it works today. Quiet hours, timed mutes, unused-resources alerts and notify-only optimization alerts were removed from this entry because they are not available.
Rules, channels and notification policies that watch your spend: cost-spike detection fitted to each scope's history, budget alerts and new-workload alerts.

Kubeadapt AI: Plain-Language Incident Explanations
Update, Sep 23, 2026: Corrected. An earlier version said utilization metrics, cost figures and workload details never reach the model. They do. The section below lists what is sent.
Kubeadapt AI explains alert incidents in plain language. It is off by default, and this entry lists exactly what data the model sees.

Abandoned Workloads Detection
Update, Sep 11, 2026: Disabled on 2026-09-11 while we fix false positives. Low CPU and memory usage alone flagged services that were still in use. We will bring detection back once it can also use ownership and traffic signals. Orphaned PersistentVolume detection is unaffected.
Find workloads with zero or near-zero utilization sitting idle in your cluster. See what they cost and decide whether to scale down or remove them.
