## Comprehensive, agentless Kubernetes optimization

### Complete K8s Visibility

See every dollar at workload and container level, without installing a single agent.

- Namespace and workload cost attribution

- Node pool utilization analysis

- Container-level resource tracking

- Cross-cluster cost comparison

### Intelligent Savings

DeepWaste™ uncovers K8s-specific waste from DaemonSet overhead to idle deployments.

### Verified ROI

Findings flow to where engineers work, with tracking to prove what was fixed.

- Automated remediation scripts

- Slack, Jira, Teams, ServiceNow

- Resolution tracking & validation

- Custom dashboards per team

## Explore Kubernetes optimizations

### Workload Rightsizing

CPU and memory request/limit optimization based on actual usage patterns across deployments.

### Node Pool Optimization

Instance type selection, node count optimization, and spot/preemptible node mix analysis.

### Idle Resource Detection

Identify idle deployments, unused services, orphaned PVCs, and CronJobs that never run.

### DaemonSet Overhead

Analyze DaemonSet resource overhead and identify opportunities to reduce per-node costs.

### Container Efficiency

Multi-container pod analysis, sidecar overhead, and init container optimization.

### Cross-Stack K8s Analysis

Unified Kubernetes and underlying cloud infrastructure savings that K8s-only tools miss.

## The cross-stack advantage no K8s-only tool can match

PointFive sees your Kubernetes clusters and the cloud infrastructure beneath them: EKS on EC2, AKS on Azure VMs, GKE on Compute Engine. We coordinate node pool sizing with workload demands, detect over-provisioned persistent volumes, and find savings at the intersection of container orchestration and cloud that no K8s-only tool ever could.

## Built for engineering teams that move fast

### Guided onboarding

Connect through guided onboarding using agentless discovery integrations.

### AI-Powered, 24/7

Continuously monitors and acts on your environment with intelligent automation.

### Zero Savings Gaps

Full coverage across cloud, PaaS, data & AI. No blind spots, no missed savings.

### No Context Switching

Engineers fix issues in the tools they already use: Slack, Jira, Teams, ServiceNow.

## Connect through guided onboarding

- 01  Connect your cloud provider account (AWS, Azure, or GCP)

- 02  PointFive auto-discovers all K8s clusters and workloads

- 03  DeepWaste™ begins analyzing workload efficiency and node utilization

- 04  Review prioritized findings and start saving

## Built for security-conscious teams

- Fully agentless, no DaemonSets, no sidecars

- Discovery uses read-only access. Automated remediation requires customer-authorized permissions and approval before infrastructure changes are executed.

- No access to application data or secrets

- Data encrypted in transit and at rest

- SOC 2 Type II compliant

## Common questions about Kubernetes optimization

### 

PointFive accesses K8s metrics and resource metadata through cloud provider APIs (CloudWatch for EKS, Azure Monitor for AKS, Cloud Monitoring for GKE). No DaemonSets, sidecars, or agents needed.

### 

PointFive OS supports investigation, optimization, and approved automated remediation across Amazon EKS, Azure AKS, Google GKE, and self-hosted Kubernetes clusters. Discovery uses read-only access. Automated remediation requires customer-authorized permissions and approval before infrastructure changes are executed.

### 

PointFive combines agentless Kubernetes discovery with context from the underlying cloud infrastructure, so teams can investigate workload and infrastructure efficiency together.

### 

Yes. PointFive provides unified visibility across all your Kubernetes clusters, regardless of cloud provider or distribution. Compare cluster efficiency and identify workload placement optimizations.
