Komodor analyzes your cluster resources and consumption and provides 2 main capabilities:
1. Complete visibility into your Kubernetes cost allocation
2. Actionable optimization via right-sizing recommendations

When clicking on ‘Cost Optimization’, you’ll notice tabs for two different pages: 1. Cost Allocation - full visibility into your costs structure from your overall environment to specific clusters, namespaces, or services
2. Right Sizing - Detailed recommendations based on actual consumption vs. configured requests

Prerequisites

• An agent update is required per cluster
  • Agent version 0.2.42 and above
  • Metrics enabled
  • Update command:
    helm repo update; helm upgrade --install k8s-watcher komodorio/k8s-watcher --set metrics.enabled=true --reuse-values
  • A relevant notification will appear if the agent isn’t up-to-date
• To generate valuable, significant analysis & recommendations, we recommend waiting at least 7 days after the agent update to review your data.

Please Note: Our calculations are based on default values for CPU & memory monthly prices. If needed, you can modify these values to fit your exact prices.

Komodor Attributes

• Optimization Score: How optimized your environment is, using a 0%-100% range. Calculated based on current costs, the savings recommended by Komodor, and the savings already applied.
  • For example, if your current costs are $10k, and Komodor identifies a saving opportunity of 30% ($3k), your optimization score will be 70%.
• Share of Allocated Cost: The % out of the total allocated (requested) costs associated with each row, in the selected scope and timeframe.

Cost Optimization Score Overview

For both right-sizing and allocation, the cost optimization score is classified as follows:

• <80: Could be improved.
• >80: Good.
• >90: Great.
