Kubernetes Cost Optimization
OhChimp reads your cluster read-only and finds idle nodes, oversized requests, and zombie load balancers. You apply, your real bill confirms the savings.
How does OhChimp connect to my Kubernetes cluster?
You provide a read-only kubeconfig, or a cluster server URL plus a service-account token. OhChimp confirms access by listing one namespace, then reads cluster metadata such as workloads, services, nodes, PVCs, and metrics-server usage. It never stores your application data, secrets, or workload contents.
Does OhChimp need write access or see what runs in my pods?
No. OhChimp uses read-only access and reads resource specs, node capacity, and usage metrics. It does not read the contents of your containers, ConfigMaps, or Secrets, and it never stores application data, secrets, or workload contents.
What Kubernetes costs can OhChimp actually reduce?
Underutilized nodes and loose bin-packing, over-provisioned Deployment CPU and memory requests, stateless workloads that belong on spot or preemptible nodes, zombie LoadBalancer services and redundant load balancers you can fold behind one Ingress, unused PVCs and AWS gp2/io1/io2 volumes that should be gp3, and autoscaler, PodDisruptionBudget, and descheduler settings that block node consolidation.
Who applies the changes, and can they be rolled back?
You do. Each fix is a reviewable plan with a confidence score, a risk level, and rollback steps, including the exact kubectl or cloud commands to reverse it. Nothing moves until you click apply, and OhChimp applies the matching code and infrastructure changes together.
How are the savings verified, and how is it priced?
Against your real cloud bill. A plan is marked VERIFIED only after 7 or more days, a drop of at least 10%, and 3 consecutive positive checks. Until then it stays flagged not implemented. Pricing is flat monthly, OhChimp never takes a cut of your savings, and paid plans carry a year-one ROI guarantee with a full refund of subscription fees if it does not pay for itself in the first 12 months.
