How does it optimize Kubernetes cluster costs?

The skill includes configurations for ResourceQuotas, pod affinity for spot instances, and Pod Disruption Budgets to ensure high availability while minimizing node costs.

What is the typical savings potential of these strategies?

Depending on the strategy, users can see savings between 40-70% using Reserved Instances and up to 90% when effectively leveraging Spot Instances for non-critical workloads.

Can this skill help automate the deletion of unused resources?

Yes, it provides shell scripts and automation logic to identify and safely remove unattached EBS volumes, unused Elastic IPs, and idle database instances.

Which cloud providers are supported by this skill?

While the primary implementation examples focus on AWS and Kubernetes, the logic for rightsizing, spot instance management, and resource cleanup is applicable to GCP, Azure, and other major cloud providers.
