OptOps helps teams reduce waste and improve utilization across Kubernetes, GPU, and HPC infrastructure. Its Kubernetes platform is aimed at DevOps, platform, and FinOps teams running EKS, GKE, AKS, or other CNCF-compliant clusters. It adjusts resource requests to usage and can scale workloads back up during OOM spikes. Consolidation packs workloads onto fewer nodes, but proceeds only after safety checks and when it saves money. Spot automation uses diversified pools, on-demand fallback, and a circuit breaker for capacity shortages. Live pod migration uses CRIU to preserve memory and process state; same pod IP and unbroken TCP sessions are available on AWS, while GKE and AKS support is early access. A multi-cluster dashboard breaks down costs by cluster, namespace, workload, node type, and instance class without tags. OptOps is available on the web or self-hosted, with pricing on request. Its Helm installation provides components that are off by default, and the agent starts in read-only mode.
