Karpenter

Automatically optimize Karpenter workloads for more reliability & cost savings

nOps adds 100% visibility, cost insights, Spot & commitment management to your Karpenter workloads. Run your mission-critical services with more operational and cost-efficiency.

nOps manages $2B in annual AWS spend for innovative brands, from startups to enterprises, saving them 50%+ autonomously.

Supercharge Your Karpenter Savings

Karpenter, a high-performance open-source Kubernetes autoscaler, optimizes clusters by proactively launching right-sized compute resources for better scaling and less waste.
In addition to these key benefits of Karpenter, additional opportunities exist to maximize your cost efficiency in complex environments

Commitment underutilization

Karpenter is not aware of your Reserved Instance and Savings Plan commitments — it’s easy to use too much Spot and waste your prepaid capacity.

No Holistic Spot Orchestration

Karpenter isn’t built to manage your broader Spot strategy. It scales based solely on what’s available and cost-effective now. It does NOT apply Spot best practices like managing instance lifespans or diversifying across instance types to avoid mass interruptions.

Lack of visibility

Karpenter doesn’t include visibility tools. Without insight into termination rates or node performance, you’re left in the dark about how well you’re running and how much you’re saving compared to before.

How nOps helps with Karpenter

nOps is a Karpenter-compatible solution designed from the ground up to be even more automated, cost-efficient, and simple to use. It continuously optimizes all of your cluster configurations — while adding Spot management, discount management, container rightsizing, comprehensive visibility and more to Karpenter.

Better outcomes with Spot

nOps Machine Learning continuously monitors Spot market pricing and termination data, proactively moving workloads onto a diverse set of optimal instances to maximize availability & increase your savings 60-75%.

100% Commitment Utilization Guarantee

Juggling Spot, Savings Plans, and RI can be a full-time job — nOps manages and optimizes all discounts on your behalf with a 100% commitment utilization guarantee.

Intelligent Instance Selection

Engineers no longer have to manually pick instance types. nOps automatically selects optimal diverse Spot instances based on your workload’s requirements, saving time & effort.

Spot Orchestration

nOps Machine Learning continuously monitors Spot market pricing and termination data, proactively moving workloads onto a diverse set of optimal instances to maximize availability & savings.

Container Rightsizing

Container efficiency requires multiple steps: collecting metrics, rightsizing, bin packing, etc. With nOps, you can review historical data, set thresholds, and take action all in one tool.

Real-time Workload Reconsideration

Automation allows nOps to tune Karpenter much more frequently than a human could — translating to better results and many hours of work saved.

The Result

60-75% Cost Savings

100% of Usage Discounted

<1% Spot Terminations

Time Saved for Engineers

See nOps in Action

In addition to continuously optimizing your Karpenter configurations for more savings and reliability, nOps gives you 100% visibility into your EKS clusters.

Complete EKS Visibility

Get insights across all your EKS clusters at a glance. From cost analysis and purchase type to container utilization and efficiency, it’s all available in Compute Copilot.

Dive Deeper into Individual Clusters

All your cluster insights are accessible in a single dashboard. Dive deeper into individual cluster effectiveness, efficiency, Spot termination rate, and the effective savings.

Optimize Your Containers with Rightsizing Recommendations

nOps gives you insights down to the individual container level so it’s easy to see which containers may need rightsizing. nOps even provides CPU and Memory Request recommendations.
