Cloud Cost Optimization
infraOk Cloud Cost Optimization removes waste from your cloud accounts and Kubernetes clusters, sizes commitments and spot capacity safely, and allocates spend to teams and products so engineering and finance read the same numbers.

Sound familiar?
“The cloud bill grew faster than revenue last quarter, and nobody can say which team caused it.”
“Half the Kubernetes resource requests were copied from a blog post years ago.”
“Finance asks for a forecast and engineering sends a screenshot of the billing console.”
What we take on
| Waste | Idle volumes, forgotten snapshots, oversized databases and load balancers pointing at nothing. |
|---|---|
| Kubernetes rightsizing | Requests and limits set from real usage, and bin-packing that lets the same workloads run on fewer nodes. |
| Commitments | Savings Plans, Reserved Instances and committed-use discounts sized to what you'll really use. |
| Spot capacity | Spot and preemptible nodes for workloads that can take an interruption, with Karpenter handling the fallback. |
| Cost allocation | Tags, labels and OpenCost or Kubecost, so every dollar has an owner. |
| Forecasting | A monthly forecast finance can plan around, and alerts when spend drifts away from it. |
What you get
- A savings report listing each change, what it saves and what it risks
- Cost dashboards by team, service and environment
- A commitment plan reviewed every quarter
- Budget alerts routed to the people who can act on them

Plan
Scope, SLAs, runbooks and success metrics agreed in writing before anything changes.
- Week 2–4
Build & onboard
Tooling, access and infrastructure as code in place, then a supervised handover to operations.
- Ongoing
Operate & optimize
24×7 operations, monthly service reviews and continuous cost and performance tuning.

What we don't do
- Changing your product or application code to make it cheaper to run. We show your developers where the cost comes from.
- Negotiating your contract with the cloud provider. We give you the usage data that makes that conversation easier.
- Cutting cost by cutting reliability. Every change comes with its risk written next to it, and you decide.

Questions, answered
Where do most cloud savings come from?
The biggest savings usually come from oversized Kubernetes requests, idle resources and commitments that don't match real usage. infraOk's savings report shows each change and its risk before anything is applied.
Will cost cuts affect reliability?
infraOk lists what each change risks next to what it saves. Changes that reduce redundancy or headroom are made only if you approve them.
How does infraOk allocate Kubernetes costs to teams?
infraOk uses namespaces, labels and OpenCost or Kubecost to attribute cluster spend to teams, services and environments, including a fair share of shared costs such as control planes and monitoring.
