Komodor | Cost and Performance Optimization

Full Visibility
and Cost-Aware Ownership

Komodor provides a unified view of Kubernetes spend across the organization – incorporating actual cloud pricing that includes discounts, and custom on-prem unit costs. It enables cost allocation by business unit, team, environment, or application to identify trends, detect anomalies, and uncover inefficiencies. Clearly mapping cost and optimization opportunities allows for true cost aware ownership and collaboration across engineering, FinOps, and platform teams. With Komodor, engineering, platform and FinOps teams can align and collaborate effectively to save costs while ensuring continuous reliability.

Continuous Workload Right-Sizing and Scaling

Komodor removes guesswork by analyzing real-time and historical CPU and memory data, application behavior, and health signals to recommend and maintain optimal resource settings. It continuously right-sizes workloads to cut waste from overprovisioning and prevent issues caused by underprovisioning, ensuring efficiency and reliability across changing demand.
Komodor also aligns KEDA and HPA scaling triggers, allowing event-driven and horizontal autoscaling to work seamlessly as one adaptive scaling system.

Making Node Autoscalers Smarter

Komodor makes autoscaling faster, smarter, and more reliable. It actively analyzes and refines Cluster Autoscaler and Karpenter scaling behavior by detecting inefficiencies, conflicting parameters, sub-optimal instance types selection or poor bin-packing decisions to improve performance, reliability, and cost efficiency. The platform also optimizes node-level placement and instance type selection to maximize density and reduce idle capacity. When current configurations pose risks, such as overly aggressive thresholds, unbalanced limits, or underutilized nodes, Komodor identifies them early, preventing instability and unnecessary spend. The result is an intelligent, self-optimizing autoscaling layer that keeps your infrastructure lean, balanced, and dependable.

Autonomous or Co-Pilot Mode

Komodor supports both fully-autonomous and co-pilot operation modes, giving teams full control over how optimization decisions are applied to meet performance requirements. Fine-grained policies let you define what should run automatically and what requires review, along with guardrails like buffers, ranges, and scopes to align with organizational policies and standards.

Intelligent Pod Placement that Boosts Node Bin-Packing

Komodor optimizes binpacking by intelligently placing pods where they give the cluster maximum flexibility for later node consolidation. It automatically identifies unevictable pods (i.e., pods with bound volumes or pods without an ownerReference that can reschedule them) and directs them to dedicated nodes so they don’t block scale-down events. This keeps other nodes flexible, reducing fragmentation, and enabling autoscalers to consolidate and remove nodes far more effectively.

Smart Headroom: Accelerated, Burst-Ready Scaling

Komodor accelerates scaling with Smart Headroom, a pre-allocated, dynamic capacity buffer that allows new workloads to be scheduled instantly without waiting for node cold starts. It ensures burst-ready capacity and consistent performance during traffic spikes while avoiding the waste of blanket overprovisioning.

PodMotion: Zero-Downtime Pod Migration

PodMotion enables zero-downtime migration of Kubernetes stateful workloads, automatically moving pods across nodes without disrupting availability. It allows teams to reduce costs, boost efficiency, and manage infrastructure events like upgrades without affecting applications, while also taking advantage of spot instances and better bin packing for additional savings.
