KubeCostCut

KubeCostCut is a web app (traditional + AI) that finds and prevents Kubernetes cost waste by enforcing practical, low-friction guardrails. It connects to your clusters and cloud billing, then flags the usual money leaks: over-requested CPU/memory, idle namespaces, runaway autoscaling, forgotten dev environments, and expensive node pools used for cheap workloads. The MVP focuses on “actionable fixes,” not dashboards: one-click PRs/patches for resource requests/limits, HPA/VPA recommendations, and scheduled scale-to-zero for non-prod. AI is used sparingly to summarize root causes, generate safe YAML changes, and explain impact in plain English for approvals. It also adds policy checks in CI so bad manifests don’t ship. This is not a full FinOps suite; it’s a narrow tool aimed at teams who feel the bill pain but don’t have time to become cost experts.
