“We were essentially able to reduce the cost of that cluster by about 75%. On AWS, DevZero demonstrated they could achieve significantly higher savings than we initially thought possible.”

Bring cost control, workload visibility, and operational structure to your Kubernetes fleet, at scale.
Companies who slashed their Kubernetes
spend using DevZero
DevZero connects to all your clusters across clouds, regions, and providers and surfaces a unified cost and utilization view. Instead of context-switching between AWS Cost Explorer, GKE billing, and Azure Cost Management, you see your entire fleet in one place: aggregated cost data, per-cluster and cross-cluster drill-down, and consistent rightsizing policies applied fleet-wide with a single operator install per cluster.
Platform teams running microservices, staging environments, and regional deployments end up with cluster sprawl. DevZero treats your fleet as a single managed surface where policies propagate once set, anomalies surface across all clusters simultaneously, and you can connect EKS, GKE, AKS, OKE, OpenShift, and on-prem clusters in the same workspace with consistent namespace and team ownership policies, cross-cluster cost comparison, and fleet-wide alerting.
DevZero installs as a lightweight read-only Kubernetes operator via Helm and works the same way regardless of where your cluster runs. The rightsizing engine, cost models, and governance layer behave identically across AWS EKS, GCP GKE, Azure AKS, Oracle OKE, OpenShift, and bare-metal Kubernetes. Cloud-specific features like Karpenter on EKS are used where available and skipped where they aren't, with no proprietary APIs or cloud-specific instrumentation required.
DevZero integrates with every layer of your Kubernetes stack, from provisioning to policy.

read-op: no write · write-op: namespaced only
Full audit trail + advisory mode
Each operator runs with minimal RBAC permissions. Namespaced roles ensure blast radius is limited, read operator never requires write access.
The controls your team actually needs, not a dashboard that requires a PhD to interpret.
P99 latency spike · api-server-7f6d9
throttle_pct=0.78 · caught in 180ms window
DevZero reads directly from the Linux cgroup v2 hierarchy; CPU throttle microseconds, memory pressure stall information, and OOM kill counters; not from Prometheus scrapes that are 15-second averages. Sub-second anomalies that cause P99 latency spikes are visible and actionable.
One DevZero tenant manages rightsizing across all your clusters. Cost savings are aggregated per team, per namespace, and per workload owner; integrated with your cloud billing via AWS Cost Explorer, GCP Billing Export, or Azure Cost Management APIs.
