Optimize Infrastructure Costs

Scenario​

Your cloud bill keeps growing but you're not sure which resources are over-provisioned or misconfigured. Alert investigations sometimes reveal resource inefficiencies.

How OpsWorker Helps​

Investigation-Driven Insights​

OpsWorker investigations often uncover resource optimization opportunities:

  • Over-provisioned pods — Resource limits set much higher than actual usage
  • Misconfigured restarts — Pods crashing and restarting waste compute resources
  • Unnecessary replicas — Services scaled beyond what's needed

AI Chat Queries​

Ask targeted questions about resource usage:

What pods have resource requests much higher than actual usage?
Which deployments have the most restarts in the last week?
Show me the resource limits for all deployments in namespace production

Alert-Driven Cost Reduction​

Every alert that OpsWorker investigates and helps fix permanently is one less recurring incident consuming compute resources. Pods that stop crash-looping, services that stop restarting, and deployments that stop failing all reduce wasted compute.

Daily Digest​

Namespaces with disproportionately high alert volumes often indicate systemic misconfigurations that waste resources.

Outcome​

  • Right-size resources — Identify over-provisioned pods and deployments
  • Fix misconfigurations — Stop crash loops and restarts that waste compute
  • Reduce cloud spend — Each permanent fix reduces ongoing resource waste
  • Data-driven decisions — Investigation data reveals optimization opportunities
