Optimize Cloud Costs

Implement comprehensive cost optimization strategies for Kubernetes clusters to reduce cloud spending.

When to Use

• Cloud infrastructure costs growing without corresponding business value increase
• Need visibility into cost allocation by team, application, or environment
• Resource requests/limits not aligned with actual usage patterns
• Manual scaling leading to over-provisioning and waste
• Want to leverage spot/preemptible instances for non-critical workloads
• Need to implement showback or chargeback for internal cost allocation
• Seeking to establish FinOps culture with cost awareness and accountability
