☸ Kubernetes Automation

AI-driven autoscaling for Kubernetes workloads, nodes and clusters.

Unlock Kubernetes cost and resource utilization insights and have automation optimize your clusters, nodes and workloads.

What is DevZero's Kubernetes Optimization, and what does it help you achieve?

DevZero reduces Kubernetes infrastructure costs by optimizing the infrastructure footprint. It does this by rightsizing workloads based on their actual behavior/performance.

Components

  • zxporter is a Kubernetes Operator - lightweight, read-only component that connects your Kubernetes cluster to the DevZero platform. Read more about the data it collects here.
  • It helps deliver deep visibility into your Kubernetes infrastructure, uncovers waste, and generates cost-saving recommendations — all while maintaining strict security boundaries.
  • balance is a Kubernetes Operator/DaemonSet that retrieves real-time policy-based recommendations and applies them to the cluster.
  • It helps apply recommendations in an automated fashion so Kubernetes can run on auto-pilot.
  • DevZero control plane - Stores utiization information and generates policy-based recommendations based on operating costs.
  • Runs in US and EU regions.

DevZero's platform helps you:

  • Visualize real-time and historical costs across clusters, namespaces, and workloads
  • Identify underutilized resources and receive actionable optimization recommendations
  • Understand workload efficiency trends across your environments
  • Integrate seamlessly with any Kubernetes setup — cloud, on-prem, or hybrid
  • Supported providers:
  • AWS EKS
  • Azure AKS
  • GCP GKE
  • Any Kubernetes cluster (incl. kind, k3s etc)

The zxporter operator is publicly available on GitHub for full transparency, and it's read-only by design, ensuring zero risk to your production workloads.

Key Platform Capabilities

FeatureDescription
Savings InsightsAnalyze cluster waste and get specific savings projections per workload
Cost MonitoringReal-time and historical cost breakdowns across clusters, across clouds
Automated OptimizationGet optimization strategies without the need for scripts or automation

Supported Environments

  • Amazon EKS
  • Google GKE
  • Microsoft AKS
  • Any Kubernetes cluster (cloud, hybrid, or on-prem)

Set up in under 3 minutes

  1. Create a free DevZero account at devzero.io
  2. Connect your cluster by installing the zxporter operator via the one line command
  3. Generate a savings report — get a snapshot of inefficiencies and projected savings
  4. Review real-time cost dashboards at the cluster, namespace, and workload levels
  5. Explore recommendations on how to improve resource efficiency

Running in non-cloud or non-managed clusters?

The zxporter operator works with any Kubernetes cluster, including:

  • On-premise infrastructure
  • Alternative cloud providers
  • Hybrid or air-gapped environments

Resource utilization, cost visibility and automated optimization works the same way as managed cloud Kubernetes clusters - cluster/node autoscalers don't work unless APIs to interact w/ the underlying infrastructure providers are available.

Requirements

  • A working Kubernetes cluster (on any cloud or infrastructure)
  • Familiarity with kubectl to install the operator
