Configuration Overview

The kubeadapt Helm chart deploys a single-pod agent into your Kubernetes cluster. The agent collects cluster metrics and sends them to Kubeadapt Cloud for cost analysis and rightsizing recommendations.

Platform Support

Prerequisites

• Kubernetes 1.24 or later
• Helm 3.0 or later
• metrics-server running in the cluster. Most managed providers include it by default. The agent reads live CPU and memory usage from the metrics.k8s.io API. Without it, the platform cannot generate rightsizing recommendations.

Installation

helm repo add kubeadapt https://kubeadapt.github.io/kubeadapt-helm
helm repo update

helm install kubeadapt kubeadapt/kubeadapt \
  --namespace kubeadapt \
  --create-namespace \
  --set agent.config.token="<your-token>"

Get a token from app.kubeadapt.io under Clusters > Add Cluster.

OCI Registry

You can also pull from the OCI registry instead of the Helm repo:

helm install kubeadapt oci://ghcr.io/kubeadapt/kubeadapt-helm/kubeadapt \
  --namespace kubeadapt \
  --create-namespace \
  --set agent.config.token="<your-token>"

Upgrading

helm repo update
helm upgrade kubeadapt kubeadapt/kubeadapt \
  --namespace kubeadapt \
  --reset-then-reuse-values

Or enable Auto-Upgrade to handle this automatically.

Uninstalling

helm uninstall kubeadapt --namespace kubeadapt
