Can ops0 show cost before deployment?

Yes. ops0 can include cost estimation in the deployment path so teams review spend before infrastructure changes are applied.

Does ops0 support Kubernetes cost visibility?

Yes. ops0 provides a per-namespace Kubernetes cost breakdown so teams can connect workload cost to operational decisions.

Which clouds does ops0 estimate cost for before deploy?

ops0 gives a per-resource cost estimate for AWS, GCP, Azure, and OCI before deploy, so spend is reviewed while the change is still a plan rather than a surprise on the next bill.

Can ops0 find idle or wasted resources?

Yes. ops0 detects idle resources from discovery and surfaces drift, which often points to expensive manual changes made outside code, so waste and unmanaged spend both come into view. Ask Kiwi which projects and resources drive cost, and it answers from current project data.

Can ops0 stop a deployment that breaks a budget?

Yes. Budget rules can warn or block a change, so a deployment that would push spend past its limit is caught in the same path that already checks policy and approval.

Cost Optimization

Cloud cost optimization before it becomes the bill.

Name: ops0
Author: ops0

Put cost into planning, deploy review, Kubernetes operations, drift review, and cleanup instead of chasing it after the invoice arrives.

Most cloud bills are decided before anyone looks at them. ops0 shows the cost before the change ships.

Live state is compared against code, so drifted cost changes surface.

Common questions

ops0 surfaces cost context during planning, runtime, and cleanup so teams can prevent overruns and prioritize waste removal. An organization-wide inventory view also totals month-to-date spend across AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI.

Control cost

Cost is caught in planning and runtime. Connecting it back to linked IaC is what turns visibility into savings.
