Pod Rightsizing

Pod Rightsizing automation
built for performance

Optimize CPU and RAM resources in real time, guided by live workload demand. Eliminate waste, control costs, and protect what matters most – application stability.

The Problem

When vertical
scaling falls short

Keeping CPU and RAM requests accurate means nonstop manual tuning, hard to keep up with and harder to get right. Existing tools promise automation, but most teams avoid them. They clash with HPA, lack accuracy, and risk stability. So Ops teams keep firefighting, trading performance for cost. This is exactly what we’re here to solve.

Product Capabilities

Automated rightsizing
you can trust in production

CPU and RAM
rightsizing

Automatically allocate the precise amount of CPU and RAM needed to eliminate waste and ensure peak performance.

Precise container-level optimization

Ensure each container in a multi-container pod—sidecars, adapters, or helpers—gets the exact CPU and RAM needed for optimal performance.

Compatibility
with HPA

Boost performance and cost efficiency with VPA working alongside HPA for seamless resource optimization.

Performance-first
mechanisms

Ensure stability with gradual rollouts and auto-healing, while InPlacePodResizing removes the risk of pod restarts.

Customized
Automation Policies

Choose policies for performance, buffers, and risk tolerance, and set the automation level per workload so optimization is always tailored to your exact preferences.

Workload level
Insights

Gain real-time visibility & insights over your workloads’ utilization, costs, and savings opportunities, to reduce CPU & RAM overprovisioning and optimize allocations.

How It Works

Real-time
Pod Rightsizing

Our solution continuously monitors pod usage and applies advanced algorithms to adjust workload resources. Designed with performance in mind, it lets you tailor scaling to your buffer needs. An auto-healing mechanism ensures stability, while gradual rollouts minimize the impact of scaling,  all without requiring pod restarts. With Zesty, CPU and RAM optimization is more accurate than ever.

How does the pricing model work?

Our pricing model is designed to be straightforward and transparent. We charge a base fee plus a fee per CPU managed by Zesty. Importantly, you’re only billed for the CPU managed after optimization. This ensures that you pay only for the resources we actively manage, delivering clear value with every CPU optimized.

Yes, security is a priority. The platform complies with industry standards, encrypts all data, and offers role-based access controls, ensuring only authorized users can access your Kubernetes cost data and settings. Only meta-data and usage metrics are collected, Zesty doesn’t have access to any data on the disk or the EC2 instance. These metrics are reported to an encrypted endpoint, and sent unidirectionally to Zesty’s backend. All of Zesty’s architecture is serverless meaning there are no servers or databases involved and all data collected resides within AWS.

Zesty requires an agent with read-only permissions to gain visibility into your environment and provide accurate recommendations. For our automated Pod Rightsizing solution, an additional agent is needed to enhance efficient automation, requiring permissions to apply changes on resource requests and enforce these changes.

No, our platform is designed to maintain performance, ensure stability, and preserve SLAs, all while optimizing costs. Automation ensures CPU and RAM are available when needed, by monitoring events like OOM or throttling, and keeps applications run smoothly with no pod restarts, even as costs are reduced.

No, our platform is designed for a quick and simple onboarding process. Most customers are up and running within minutes, with full support to ensure a smooth start on our platform.

Recommendations are available about 24 hours after connecting a cluster to Kompass. Once a recommendation is activated, Pod Rightsizing is fully automated. Users start seeing measurable savings as early as one hour after activation.
