The practical reference our practitioners use to cut Kubernetes bills: the rightsizing workflow, the Spot adoption pattern, the autoscaler decision, and the showback model, in one document.
Kubernetes hides waste better than any other platform, because the bill says nodes while the waste lives in pods. This handbook closes that gap. It shows how to attribute cost to teams, rightsize requests with real data, pack nodes tightly, and move the right work to Spot, all without risking reliability.
It is the companion to our complete guide to Kubernetes cost optimization and goes deeper on the parts that need a repeatable playbook: the request-to-usage analysis, the pod disruption budget pattern for safe Spot adoption, and a fair model for splitting shared cluster costs.
Platform engineers, SREs and FinOps practitioners who run production Kubernetes and want to cut cost without trading away reliability.
