THE CHALLENGE

Kubernetes Cost Management

As Kubernetes adoption skyrockets, so do the challenges:

  • 49% of organizations report Kubernetes has driven up cloud spend.

  • 70% cite overspend directly related to workload overprovisioning.

  • The dynamic nature of containers makes proper resource allocation extremely difficult.

  • Complexity of Kubernetes environments obscures granular cost visibility.

Introducing the complete solution

By combining CloudBolt’s award-winning FinOps platform with StormForge’s machine learning technology, we deliver a closed-loop system for Kubernetes cost optimization that enables you to:
Inform

  • • Gain unprecedented visibility into Kubernetes spending
  • • Break open the “black box” of container costs
  • • Track spending across clusters, namespaces, and workloads

Optimize

• Apply ML-driven recommendations for resource settings
• Automatically adjust resource requests and limits in real-time
• Reduce cloud costs by 50-70% without performance risks

Operate

• Maintain continuous optimization as traffic patterns change
• Eliminate the need for specialized Kubernetes knowledge
• Free developers from manual tuning to focus on innovation

KEY FEATURES

Comprehensive Kubernetes Management

    • Intelligent resource recommendations – Automatically optimize CPU and memory settings based on actual usage patterns, eliminating waste while ensuring performance.
    • Vertical righstizing– Uniquely combine vertical pod autoscaling with horizontal pod autoscaling for optimization on multiple dimensions.
    • Enterprise-scale automation – Deploy hands-free lifecycle automation across your entire Kubernetes estate with minimal manual intervention.
    • Comprehensive visibility – Track your Kubernetes costs with detailed breakdowns across workloads, namespaces, and allocation groups.
    • Closed-loop optimization – Move seamlessly from insight to action with an integrated platform that both identifies opportunities and implements optimizations.

 

From our leaders

This acquisition is like two pieces of a puzzle snapping into place, seamlessly integrating StormForge’s technology into our 3rd-generation FinOps platform. The market has been calling for a more unified, streamlined, and intelligent way to manage costs and optimize Kubernetes operations—together, we’re delivering exactly that.

Craig Hinkley

CEO of CloudBolt

By combining our intelligent Kubernetes optimization platform with CloudBolt’s industry-leading cloud cost visibility, customers will now receive a closed loop solution, from reporting through proven and powerful optimization capabilities. Together, we’re making Kubernetes optimization smarter, more transparent, and more actionable than ever before with a tool developed by engineers, for engineers.

Frequently asked questions



Q: How is this different from other Kubernetes optimization solutions?

A: Unlike manual approaches that require specialized knowledge and constant attention, our combined solution automatically adjusts resource requests and limits to match real-time demand, eliminating the risk of performance issues while consistently reducing cost waste across all Kubernetes deployments.


Q: How quickly can I expect to see results?

A: Most customers begin seeing optimization recommendations within the first week of deployment, with measurable cost savings typically realized within the first month.


Q: Will this affect the performance of my applications?

A: No. Our solution is designed to optimize resources without compromising performance. The machine learning engine works within boundaries you define to ensure applications have the resources they need for reliable, high-performance operation.


Q: How does the integration with existing tools work?

A: As a Technical Alliance Program (TAP) partner, StormForge is already integrated into the CloudBolt Platform. The solution works seamlessly with your existing Kubernetes technologies like the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA) and node management tools like Karpenter.


Q: Is this solution cloud-specific?

A: No. The combined platform is cloud and distribution agnostic, running anywhere Kubernetes is deployed, including all major cloud platforms.
