Introduction

What’s CloudPilot AI?

CloudPilot AI is the #1 managed Karpenter cloud service with extensive enhancements. CloudPilot AI provides a simple way to optimize your cloud spending while delivering advanced FinOps workflows and cost governance for organizations.

We’ve implemented numerous additional features on top of Karpenter. With just two steps, CloudPilot AI can migrate most or even all of your workloads to Spot instances, delivering an average cost savings of 67%.

Key capabilities include:

  • Intelligent Spot Prediction: Automatically shifts workloads to Spot Instances while maintaining stability. CloudPilot AI uses a time-series prediction model trained on large volumes of node data to forecast Spot interruptions up to 45 minutes in advance.

  • Mixed Scheduling Policies for Critical Workloads: Easily configure mission-critical workloads to run on a mix of On-Demand and Spot Instances, achieving a balanced trade-off between savings and reliability.

  • Event Observability for Karpenter: Gain visibility into Karpenter’s decisions with detailed insights into why nodes are created, deleted, or consolidated—making it easier to troubleshoot and optimize autoscaling behavior.

  • Pod Rightsizing: Dynamically adjusts pod resource requests based on real usage to reduce waste.

  • LiveMigration(Coming soon): Enables seamless pod migration between nodes without downtime, improving availability during rebalancing or scaling events.

We currently support the following cloud providers:

  • Amazon EKS
  • Alibaba Cloud ACK
  • Google Cloud GKE
  • Azure AKS

At a Glance

CloudPilot AI one-pager, page 1: autoscaling Kubernetes for the most demanding teams — cluster utilization rises from 20% to about 98%, Java OOM events drop from 47 to 0, and the results are 60% cloud cost reduction, 10x cluster utilization, and about 5 minutes to onboard with zero code change

CloudPilot AI one-pager, page 2: two autoscalers working in coordination — the Workload Autoscaler right-sizes a pod from 8 vCPU and 16 GB to 1 vCPU and 2 GB in place with no restarts, and the Node Autoscaler consolidates three nodes at 18% utilization costing $10k per month into one node at 71% utilization costing $4k per month
