The record

Product: DevZero describes itself as a Kubernetes optimization platform for workload rightsizing, node autoscaling, and security scanning.
Workload optimization: Its operators analyze cluster resource use and can generate or apply recommendations for workload resources, replicas, and node capacity.
Cloud support: The quickstart lists Amazon EKS, Google GKE, Microsoft AKS, Oracle OKE, and self-managed or on-premises clusters.
GPU optimization: The product collects GPU metrics on GPU nodes, and its Pro plan includes GPU infrastructure optimization.
Security scanning: The Security Operator scans for image vulnerabilities, Kubernetes misconfigurations, RBAC issues, and compliance against CIS, NSA, and Pod Security Standards.
Integrations: DevZero documents Slack and webhook alert channels, plus Terraform and Pulumi providers for managing resources as code.
Data collection: DevZero says its Read Operator collects Kubernetes resource and workload metadata but does not collect secrets, environment variables, or application data.
Security: DevZero states it has SOC 2 Type II certification and encrypts data in transit with mTLS and at rest with AES-256.
Data residency: DevZero says it processes and stores data in a US primary region and offers an EU region for European customers.
Support: The pricing page lists community support for Free, a dedicated account manager and SLA for Pro, and dedicated on-call service for Enterprise.

Intended users: DevZero identifies platform engineers, DevOps teams managing multiple clusters, and engineering leaders tracking cloud spend as users of its platform.
