Komodor Redefines Kubernetes Cost Optimization with Holistic Automation Based on Performance, Risk and Right-Sizing
TEL AVIV, Israel & SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Komodor, the platform for automating Kubernetes operations, health, performance, and cost management, today announced it has added advanced new cost optimization capabilities to its Kubernetes management platform. These new features enable organizations to intelligently reduce cloud spend while maintaining performance and reliability across their entire Kubernetes estate. Cloud didn't make hardware free—it made it a metered cost. Komodor understands that Kubernetes management isn't just about scale anymore, it's about cost-aware control. Most teams are overspending on compute—yet manually right-sizing workloads is nearly impossible due to a lack of expertise, the large volume of factors to consider, and the potential risks of making changes. Meanwhile, traditional cost optimization tools overlook business impacts on application performance, developer velocity, and platform reliability. Komodor takes a platform-centric approach, enabling engineering teams to analyze and visualize Kubernetes resources, application runtime data, logs, changes, along with 3rd party integrations to automate smarter risk-aware decisions for cost optimization. 'Cloud didn't make hardware free—it made it a metered cost. Komodor understands that Kubernetes management isn't just about scale anymore, it's about cost-aware control,' Dan Twing, President & COO, Enterprise Management Associates. 'Their intelligent automation helps teams optimize spend without compromising performance, which is exactly what's needed in today's complex, cloud-native environments.' Containing Cost not Performance As Kubernetes workloads grow in size and complexity, so does cloud spend. Engineering teams often over-provision infrastructure 'just in case,' resulting in idle resource waste. Meanwhile, mission-critical workloads can't be evicted, limiting autoscaler efficiency. But optimizing for cost alone often leads to misconfigured workloads, scaling failures, or reduced application reliability. Without a unified view of cost across clusters, namespaces, and environments, teams struggle to understand where savings can be safely achieved. Meanwhile, open source autoscalers like Karpenter and Cluster Autoscaler are helpful, but limited—since they don't account for workload diversity, service criticality, or real-time performance metrics. The Komodor platform's latest enhancements extend and augment native autoscaling with intelligent pod placement for bin-packing optimization, as well as real-time workload right-sizing, delivering up to 40-60% in additional savings. All without compromising stability or speed. 'In large scale Kubernetes environments, cutting costs without visibility into application behavior is a recipe for downtime,' said Itiel Shwartz, Co-Founder & CTO of Komodor. 'What organizations need is a way to optimize cost and performance—across the full scope of infrastructure and application operations. That's what we've built.' New Cost Optimization Capabilities The new capabilities available in the Komodor platform help teams transition from static resource planning to dynamic, real-time cost optimization—empowering them to eliminate resource inefficiencies without increasing risk. These include: Real-Time Spend & Allocation Visibility Unified cost views across cloud, hybrid, and on-prem environments with drill-down filters for clusters, services, and namespaces—for improved team accountability and smarter decision-making. Intelligent Workload Right-Sizing AI-driven resource recommendations based on real-world usage across CPU, memory, throttling, and scheduling signals—help prevent both overprovisioning and underperformance. Advanced Bin-Packing & Pod Placement Komodor actively resolves placement blockers (e.g., Pod Disruption Budgets, affinity rules, etc.) and extends autoscaler functionality to improve node utilization, reduce fragmentation, and accelerate scaling. Autopilot Mode with Guardrails Continuous unattended and customizable optimization profiles (Conservative, Moderate, Aggressive) and safety thresholds, ensure changes are always safe, traceable, and aligned with business priorities. Smart Headroom Management Intelligently reserves and manages extra compute resources (CPU and memory) across nodes to reduce provisioning delays and improve responsiveness during spikes, deployments, or rollouts—without overprovisioning. Availability The Komodor platform with advanced cost optimization capabilities is available immediately from Komodor and its global partner network.

Komodor Embeds Full Stack Kubernetes Management Capabilities Within Internal Developer Platforms to Accelerate Software Delivery
Integrations with Backstage and Port empower developers to troubleshoot and optimize K8s workloads within existing workflows TEL AVIV, Israel & SAN FRANCISCO, May 21, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Komodor, the company that automates Kubernetes operations, health, performance, and cost management, today announced the integration of the Komodor platform with Internal Developer Portals (IDPs), starting with built-in support for Backstage and Port. This new capability provides a single pane of glass directly within existing tools that allows developers to handle their applications on Kubernetes on a self-service basis. With this launch, Komodor brings native day-2 Kubernetes operations management—monitoring, troubleshooting, performance optimization and cost management—directly into the developer workflow. This enables developers to gain a guided, intuitive interface to understand their workloads and take action without needing deep Kubernetes expertise. It also allows platform teams to deliver a turnkey Kubernetes experience within Backstage and Port that drives greater developer independence and improves service availability. "Internal developer platforms have emerged to simplify software delivery, but Kubernetes remains a bottleneck that is complex, opaque, and disconnected from the developer experience," said Itiel Shwartz, Co-Founder and CTO of Komodor. "By embedding Komodor into Backstage and Port, we're giving developers a secure and easy way to see, understand, and fix issues in their services, right from the portal. It's the missing piece that makes IDPs truly self-service for addressing K8s issues." Addressing Kubernetes Gap in IDPs Most IDPs unify tools like CI/CD, templates, and security policies—but fail to offer meaningful visibility or control over Kubernetes environments. Developers are often forced to escalate issues to platform or site reliability engineering (SRE) teams, while Kubernetes operations remain decoupled from the IDP experience. Komodor fills this void by acting as a Kubernetes abstraction layer for IDPs. It integrates seamlessly with Backstage and Port to surface relevant insights—such as health status, configuration drift, cost anomalies, and service dependencies—within the developer portal. When issues arise, developers can use Komodor's AI-powered assistant Klaudia to troubleshoot and remediate problems quickly, without switching context. Enhanced Capabilities for Backstage and Port Users Kubernetes Workload Tiles: View real-time status of deployed services directly inside the portal Guided Troubleshooting: Receive step-by-step instructions to resolve issues with help from Komodor's AI agent, Klaudia Reliability and Cost Optimization: Monitor performance, enforce best practices, and reduce overprovisioning across environments Role-Based Access: Provide developers with the exact level of Kubernetes access they need—no more, no less Fleet Management for Platform Teams: Enable teams to oversee multi-cluster environments from a central workspace "Our mission is to unify all the teams and processes that need to come together to deliver software," said Jim Armstrong, Head of Product Marketing at Port. "By adding native Kubernetes management intelligence and automation to Port, Komodor reduces friction for developers and enables scalable, secure Kubernetes operations for customers." Availability Komodor's IDP integrations for Backstage and Port are available immediately.
