EKS Cost Optimization Program

Led cost optimization engagements across 50+ customer environments at CloudKeeper. Worked on right-sizing pods, tuning VPA/HPA configurations, implementing Karpenter with optimal bin-packing, and moving eligible workloads to spot instances.

Key results:

• Reduced one customer’s monthly bill by $20K on a $111K/month account (18% savings)
• Saved a logistics platform $15K+/month through EKS and Karpenter optimization
• Standardized cost review questionnaires and savings tracking across the team
