Israel-Based Zesty Launches Kompass

Zesty Tech Ltd., an Israeli automated cloud infrastructure management company, announced the launch of Kompass, its automated Kubernetes optimization platform.

Developed with operational efficiency and cost savings in mind, the platform addresses the persistent challenges of Kubernetes usage, notably costly over-provisioning, slow node scaling, and storage scalability limitations. Kompass offers visibility, recommendations, and multi-dimensional automation to align compute and storage resource allocation with real-time workloads, achieving savings without compromising resiliency or SLAs.

DevOps and infrastructure teams increasingly face hurdles in their Kubernetes configuration, hampered by slow node deployment speed and scaling storage capacity, often leading to costly over-provisioning of resources. Recognizing these challenges, Zesty acquired Qubex.ai Ltd., a company providing solutions to scale Kubernetes resources.

Leveraging Qubex’s approach, Zesty introduced HiberScale, a solution that hibernates nodes at scale and reactivates them in just 30s, down from the average reactivation time of 5mn, unlocking new avenues for Kubernetes cost optimization. Integrating Qubex’s technology into its automated platform allows Zesty to expand its capability to improve cloud infrastructure efficiency with pioneering solutions.

Zesty’s integrated platform combines automation and deep visibility into resource costs to simplify the process of identifying and reducing Kubernetes inefficiencies. Kompass provides granular visibility over clusters, nodes, and workload costs, empowering teams to identify Kubernetes savings opportunities and eliminate inefficiencies across deployments.

The fast deployment of nodes also breaks new ground by allowing large utilization of Spot Instances in Kubernetes workloads without risking service disruption. This, along with dynamic real-time auto-scaling of persistent volumes, achieves up to 70% overall cost savings while maintaining application availability and SLAs.

“For too long, DevOps teams using Kubernetes have had to compromise between improving cost efficiency and ensuring application resiliency,” said Maxim Melamedov, CEO and co-founder, Zesty. “With our game-changing multi-dimensional automation approach, it feels like we’ve redefined the boundaries of Kubernetes optimization with Kompass. Where teams once saw headaches and limitations, they can now easily tread new ground within their Kubernetes environment.“
