Automatically optimize Karpenter workloads for more reliability & cost savings
Supercharge Your Karpenter Savings
Karpenter, a high-performance open-source Kubernetes autoscaler, optimizes clusters by proactively launching right-sized compute resources for better scaling and less waste.
In addition to these key benefits of Karpenter, additional opportunities exist to maximize your cost efficiency in complex environments:
Commitment underutilization
Karpenter is not aware of your Reserved Instance and Savings Plan commitments — it’s easy to use too much Spot and waste your prepaid capacity.
No Holistic Spot Orchestration
Karpenter isn’t built to manage your broader Spot strategy. It scales based solely on what’s available and cost-effective now. It does NOT apply Spot best practices like managing instance lifespans or diversifying across instance types to avoid mass interruptions.
Lack of visibility
Karpenter doesn’t include visibility tools. Without insight into termination rates or node performance, you’re left in the dark about how well you’re running and how much you’re saving compared to before.
Commitment underutilization
It’s easy to use too much Spot and eat into existing Reserved Instances & Savings Plans
No Holistic Spot Orchestration
For better Spot outcomes, you need to monitor the Spot market and diversify instance types
Lack of visibility
It’s hard to know how much you’re actually saving by leveraging Karpenter

Intelligent Instance Selection
Why are you still manually choosing instance types? With nOps, you don’t have to.
All-in-one EKS Visibility
No need to log into multiple tools or analyze multiple data sources — all you need is in one place. Check cluster status, click into nodes, explore, & quickly understand what action to take.
Container Rightsizing
Container efficiency requires multiple steps: collecting metrics, rightsizing, bin packing, etc. With nOps, you can review historical data, set thresholds, and take action all in one tool.
Real-time Workload Reconsideration
Automation allows nOps to tune Karpenter much more frequently than a human could — translating to better results and many hours of work saved.
All-in-one EKS Visibility
No need for multiple tools — see actual savings and monitor clusters all in one place.
