Capabilities

What Kubeadapt does

A one-page tour of every Kubeadapt capability, grouped by what you're trying to accomplish.

Every Kubeadapt capability on one page, with a link to the concept page for each.

Overview

Organization Dashboard: cost, efficiency and CO₂ for every cluster you can access.
Clusters: status, agent version, last-seen time and spend for each connected cluster. Open a cluster to drill down into namespaces, workloads and nodes.

Cost Monitoring: spend at every level from organization and cluster down to namespace, workload, pod and container, plus nodes and node groups, with historical trends and efficiency metrics at each level.
Cost Explorer: group spend by workload, namespace, controller kind, node, pod, container, deployment, statefulset or daemonset; filter with AND/OR (including by instance type); switch between Fully Loaded and Workload Only modes; export to CSV or PDF.
Cost Attribution: attach each workload's cost to a Team and an optional Department, by Kubernetes label or manual assignment, with percentage splits across up to 10 teams per workload.
Smart Alerting: alert rules for cost spikes, budget thresholds, unused resources and new expensive workloads, delivered to Slack, email, a webhook or the in-app inbox.
Reports: finalized daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly reports on cost, change, CO₂ and efficiency.

GreenOps: kg CO₂e estimates for every workload, computed from regional grid intensity with the Cloud Carbon Footprint methodology and per-provider PUE.
Workload Optimization: per-cluster pages for Workload Rightsizing, Spot Migration, Orphaned Resources and Best Practices. Recommendations are reviewed in Kubeadapt and applied through your own deployment process.
Network cost (early access): with the optional eBPF agent installed, Kubeadapt measures traffic between workloads and shows cross-zone and internet egress traffic and its cost. It is available to early-access accounts. Request early access.

Kubeadapt MCP: connect Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Zed or any MCP client, and ask about spend, cost changes, team costs, idle capacity, rightsizing, alerts and network cost in plain language. Read-only, with your permissions and the clusters you choose; sign in with your Kubeadapt account.

SecureOps: image security, RBAC analysis and compliance posture. On the roadmap, not yet available.

Access control and SSO: per-cluster roles, user groups, and SAML SSO. See Configure SAML SSO.
Exports: analytical views export to CSV and PDF within the documented row caps.
API, CLI and MCP: a read-only REST API with API keys, the kubeadapt CLI, and Kubeadapt MCP for AI tools.

Quick Start: install the agent and see your first cost data.
How Kubeadapt works: the data path from the agent to the dashboard, and what Kubeadapt does not do.
