Our platform offers a comprehensive analysis of Kubernetes spend and usage for both container and cloud infrastructure in AKS clusters. By continuously evaluating workload behavior and respective cloud infrastructure, we provide a 360° view of Kubernetes application costs. This unlocks deep analysis capabilities and opportunities for financial operations research.

Additionally, our DeepWaste Detection™ technology translates into actionable, cost-saving opportunities. Your team can leverage these insights for ongoing savings and improved efficiency.

Our technology addresses a wide spectrum of Kubernetes spend inefficiencies, from control-plane-related spend to workload and infrastructure rightsizing, storage, and network configuration. By leveraging native Azure capabilities we provide an integration that seamlessly fits into your existing setup without having to install a 3rd-party agent.

The integration starts by establishing a secure network connection between the PointFive platform and your AKS cluster.

For Public AKS clusters - we access them through their publicly available DNS endpoint.

For Private AKS clusters - we utilize the recommended Azure method - Azure Private Link - to establish a secure connection into AKS cluster control plane layer.

For every cluster, we create a private endpoint in our tenant. We then initiate the Private Link setup. The customer needs to then approve the request and finish the handshake process to establish the secure connection.

Authorization is carried out through access entries and proper policy association. We support various methods as described below:

After this integration, we connect the platform to api-server and metric-server server to gather resource utilization metrics, telemetry and metadata at the cluster level.
