kubeadapt-cli: Your Cluster Costs from the Terminal

What shipped

kubeadapt shows cluster costs, workloads and recommendations in your terminal, with JSON and YAML output for scripts.

It talks to the Kubeadapt public API. Authenticate once, then query clusters, nodes, workloads, costs and recommendations. See the CLI documentation for the full reference.

Updated September 2026

The command set changed in v0.2.0: cluster filters use --cluster-id, team and department costs moved to get teams and get departments, and get pvs was removed. The examples below use the current commands. The command reference lists every command.
