Full Multi-Cloud and Kubernetes Cost Visibility
Cost Categories and Perspectives give your teams deep insights into your combined multi-cloud and Kubernetes costs, viewed in the business context they need.
Automated Idle Resource Management
Harness Cloud AutoStopping™ saves customers up to 70% in their non-production environments by automatically detecting, shutting down, and auto-starting idle resources.
Automated Spend Commitment Management
No more over-subscription, under-subscription, or missed subscription renewals. Automate the management of your Savings Plans and Reserved Instance commitments.
How does
Stacklet
compare?
Stacklet started life as a homegrown solution to manage ESW Capitals’ growing AWS cloud spend, and focused solely on automating cost optimizations that are low / medium risk via governance policy rules. They lack any support for the essential cost visibility and advanced AI/ML cost optimization engine that customers can get with Harness.
