Zesty announced the launch of Kompass, its automated Kubernetes optimization platform.

Developed with operational efficiency and cost savings in mind, the platform addresses the persistent challenges of Kubernetes usage, notably costly over-provisioning, slow node scaling, and storage scalability limitations. Kompass offers visibility, recommendations, and multi-dimensional automation to align compute and storage resource allocation with real-time workloads, achieving unmatched savings without compromising resiliency or SLAs.

Zesty recently acquired Qubex, a company providing solutions to efficiently scale Kubernetes resources. Leveraging Qubex's innovative approach, Zesty introduced HiberScale, a solution that hibernates nodes at scale and reactivates them in just 30 seconds, down from the average reactivation time of 5 minutes, unlocking new avenues for Kubernetes cost optimization. Integrating Qubex's technology into its automated platform allows Zesty to expand its capability to improve cloud infrastructure efficiency with pioneering, industry-leading solutions.

Zesty's integrated platform combines automation and deep visibility into resource costs to simplify the process of identifying and reducing Kubernetes inefficiencies. Kompass provides granular visibility over clusters, nodes, and workload costs, empowering teams to identify Kubernetes savings opportunities and eliminate inefficiencies across deployments.

The fast deployment of nodes also breaks new ground by allowing large utilization of Spot Instances in Kubernetes workloads without risking service disruption. This, along with dynamic real-time autoscaling of persistent volumes, achieves up to 70% overall cost savings while maintaining application availability and SLAs.

"For too long, DevOps teams using Kubernetes have had to compromise between improving cost efficiency and ensuring application resiliency," said Maxim Melamedov, CEO and Co-Founder of Zesty. "With our game-changing multi-dimensional automation approach, it feels like we've redefined the boundaries of Kubernetes optimization with Kompass. Where teams once saw headaches and limitations, they can now easily tread new ground within their Kubernetes environment."
