CLI Overview
Query Kubernetes cluster costs, workloads, and optimization recommendations from your terminal. Table, JSON, and YAML output for scripts and CI.
kubeadapt is a command-line tool for querying Kubernetes cluster costs and optimization data. List clusters, inspect workloads, pull cost breakdowns by team or department, and fetch rightsizing recommendations directly from your terminal.
Output formats include table (default), JSON, and YAML, making it easy to integrate with scripts and CI pipelines.
bash
kubeadapt get clusters -o jsonWhat you can do
- Cost visibility: break down spending by cluster, namespace, team, or department
- Rightsizing recommendations: list pending, applied, or dismissed recommendations with estimated savings
- Workload inspection: view CPU/memory requests, efficiency scores, and per-workload costs
- Node and storage data: list nodes, node groups, and persistent volumes with cost info
- CI/CD integration: pipe JSON output to
jq, feed into scripts, or use in GitHub Actions workflows
