Spot Protection

Boost Spot coverage with confidence

Run more workloads safely on Spot Instances and unlock maximum savings, with automatic node replacement in under 30 seconds, to keep your app always on.

The Problem

The cost of uncertainty

For critical workloads, relying on Spot Instances is a gamble. With just a two-minute notice before an interruption, there’s no time to replace the instance without risking service disruption. The only alternative? Keeping Spot usage to a bare minimum and utilizing costly on-demand instances.

Product Capabilities

Run safely on Spot

Preventing interruptions

Ensure continuous application availability during Spot interruptions. Hiberscale™ deploys nodes in 30 seconds, enabling risk-free Spot adoption with no service disruption.

Spot on auto-pilot

Automatically migrate workloads from On-Demand to Spot Instances to cut costs and optimize resource efficiency.

Spot insights

Gain deep visibility into Spot instance usage across clusters and workloads. Uncover savings opportunities with recommendations to confidently shift  workloads from On-Demand to Spot.

How It Works

Adopting Spot
without the risk

Zesty’s automation engine streamlines the move to Spot by identifying eligible workloads and generating recommendations to route them onto Spot Instances, confidently and seamlessly. To guard against interruptions, Hiberscale™ maintains a pool of pre-warmed, hibernated nodes that reactivate in 30 seconds during Spot interruptions, keeping workloads running without disruption.

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 Spot Protection solution, an additional agent is needed to enhance efficient automation, requiring permissions for creating nodes, reading logs from Cloudwatch, events from SQS, and more.

No, our platform is designed to maintain performance, ensure stability and preserve SLAs, while optimizing costs. Automation ensures applications run smoothly 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 seven days after connecting a cluster to Kompass. Once a recommendation is activated, Spot Protection is fully automated. Users start seeing measurable savings as early as one hour after activation.
