Introduction to Kubeadapt

Prevention over detection. Simplicity over complexity. Encouragement over blame.

Welcome to Kubeadapt, the Kubernetes cost optimization platform that helps engineering and finance teams reduce cloud waste without sacrificing control or performance.

Our Mission

Make Kubernetes cost optimization so simple that every company running K8s uses us, regardless of size or sophistication.

We believe cost optimization shouldn't require weeks of training, complex setup, or dedicated FinOps teams. It should be as easy as connecting a cluster and reviewing clear recommendations.

What We Do

Kubeadapt is a read-only cost optimization platform that provides:

Detection

  • Clear visibility into where your Kubernetes money goes
  • Near Real-time cost tracking across all clusters
  • Workload, namespace, and pod-level cost breakdown

Recommendations

  • Actionable optimization opportunities with exact savings
  • Ready-to-apply fixes with full transparency
  • Risk assessment for every recommendation

Prevention

  • Proactive cost alerts before budgets are exceeded
  • Cost gates in CI/CD to prevent expensive deployments
  • Anomaly detection to catch unusual spending patterns

How Kubeadapt Works

1. Install the Agent Sign up, get your cluster token from the dashboard, and install with a single Helm command. → Quick Start Guide

2. View Costs Dashboard shows cluster spending, waste, and optimization opportunities.

3. Review Recommendations Each recommendation includes the finding, impact, fix, and risk assessment.

4. Apply Changes Use your existing workflows (GitOps, kubectl, or CI/CD) to implement optimizations.

Why Kubeadapt

Read-only by design. Kubeadapt shows what to optimize and recommends specific changes, but never automatically modifies your workloads. Users stay in complete control.

Fast time to value:

  • Install and immediately see costs
  • Review actionable recommendations
  • Start reducing waste

Complete visibility into cluster spending, waste, and optimization opportunities with actionable recommendations and risk assessments.

Real Results

Typical Savings: Organizations often see 20-40% cost reduction

Common Opportunities:

  • Over-provisioned workloads: 20-40% of costs
  • Orphaned resources: 10-20% of costs
  • Inefficient node scaling: 10-25% of costs
  • Suboptimal autoscaling: 5-15% of costs
  • Storage waste: 5-10% of costs

Who Kubeadapt Is For

DevOps & Platform Engineers

  • Identify waste with clear, actionable recommendations
  • Prevent budget overruns before deployment with CI/CD gates
  • Stay in control of all infrastructure changes

Finance Teams

  • Track costs by team, namespace, and environment
  • Get alerts before budgets are exceeded
  • Generate reports with complete spending visibility

Engineering Leaders

  • Reduce costs without sacrificing development speed
  • Make developers cost-aware through proactive gates
  • Track cost as a first-class metric alongside performance
