Issues by Severity

See what your Kubernetes clusters really cost — control-plane spend, per-cluster node cost, and cost broken down by namespace and workload — across Amazon EKS, Azure AKS, and Google GKE.

Kubernetes Costs

How CostLens finds savings in Kubernetes node pools — idle nodes to remove, over-provisioned nodes to right-size, and steady workloads to move to Spot — across EKS, AKS, and GKE.
