EKS node groups, cluster debris, and the fee traps K8s doesn't warn you about.

Kubernetes creates its own category of AWS waste — orphaned volumes, zombie load balancers, and version-driven fee traps. CloudPivot extends the same detect-and-execute model to the cluster layer.

Avoid the EKS Extended Support fee trap

Clusters left on old Kubernetes versions can trigger AWS Extended Support fees up to 6x the normal control-plane cost — flagged before renewal.

Node groups on the same weekend schedule

Off-hours scheduling extends to EKS node groups, not just EC2 and RDS — the scheduler core reaches Kubernetes-managed capacity too.

Clean up the debris Kubernetes leaves behind

Orphaned persistent volumes and zombie load balancers from deleted services get found and flagged for cleanup.

Cost split by namespace, not just by cluster

Split-cost-allocation visibility shows which namespace or workload is actually driving cluster spend.

Pod-level guidance, honestly labeled

Pod-layer recommendations are advisory, not automated — CloudPivot tells you where to look without claiming to auto-tune your workloads.

See what your clusters are costing outside the pod spec.

The Kubernetes scan checks node groups, orphaned resources, and version fee traps — free, config-only.
