Node Consolidation

Fewer nodes. Same workloads. No drama.

An autonomous bin-packing engine that plans safe consolidations inside your cluster — and refuses to execute any plan that doesn't actually save you money.

Every plan clears the gates first

Consolidation only saves money if nothing breaks and the math holds. Both are checked before a single pod moves.

Real usage vs. current layout — find the cheaper packing your workloads fit into.

Plan within rules

PDBs, affinity, topology, and volumes respected at planning time, not discovered at execution.

Gate on savings

The never-lose-money gate: if a plan doesn't actually save money, it doesn't run.

Execute & audit

A settle audit after execution confirms the savings actually landed.

Leave whenever you want. Really.

The OptOps node engine stays stock-Karpenter-compatible. Your NodePools are real Karpenter NodePools — not a proprietary controller you'd have to rip out under pressure.

And on Google Cloud, you get the same engine — including the GCP provider upstream Karpenter never shipped. EKS and GKE, one brain.

Autonomy on your terms

visibility

Shadow mode first

See every consolidation the engine would make — which nodes, which pods, how much saved — before any of it is enabled.

tune

Tunable from the console

Aggressiveness, cooldowns, and disruption budgets are tunable per cluster from the dashboard — while every decision still executes inside your cluster.

Early access

Whole-cluster re-solve

One click to the mathematically cheapest layout for the entire cluster — with every safety gate still in the loop.

Consolidation pairs with container live migration — that's what makes the moves disruption-free.
