Komodor is a hosted Kubernetes operations platform that gives teams a single-pane-of-glass view across clusters for troubleshooting, drift detection, and reliability management. Its Klaudia agentic AI investigates incidents and can remediate them automatically or with a human in the loop. Customers install a lightweight in-cluster agent via a public Helm chart that streams cluster events to Komodor's hosted backend using an API key; pricing is a custom, node-based annual subscription with a 14-day free trial.

Who it's for

Platform engineering, SRE, and DevOps teams running Kubernetes at scale across multiple clusters, clouds, or edge locations who need centralized troubleshooting and reliability tooling.

What you get

A web dashboard with real-time cluster and workload visibility, drift detection, RBAC-gated and JIT access control, and (on the Enterprise plan) cost allocation, rightsizing, and optimization features; Klaudia AI agents perform automated root-cause analysis and remediation across the fleet.

How it works

A lightweight agent, deployed into each cluster via the official komodor-agent Helm chart with an API key, watches Kubernetes resources and events and streams them to Komodor's hosted backend, where Klaudia's AI agents correlate the data for investigation, remediation, and cost optimization.
