Everything you need to know about KorPro's Kubernetes resource optimization platform

1

What is KorPro?

KorPro is an enterprise-safe Kubernetes resource optimization platform that helps organizations discover and safely clean up unused resources across GCP, AWS, and Azure. Built on the open-source Kor project, KorPro extends its capabilities with cost analysis, health scoring, and zero-installation security.

2

How does KorPro detect unused Kubernetes resources?

KorPro connects to your cloud provider accounts with read-only credentials, automatically discovers your Kubernetes clusters, and scans for unused resources including ConfigMaps, Secrets, Services, Deployments, StatefulSets, and more. It analyzes resource usage patterns and provides an audit-first safe-to-prune checklist before any changes are made.

3

Which cloud providers does KorPro support?

KorPro supports all major cloud providers: Google Cloud Platform (GCP/GKE), Amazon Web Services (AWS/EKS), and Microsoft Azure (AKS). It can manage unlimited clusters across multiple cloud providers simultaneously with automatic discovery.

4

Is KorPro safe to use in production environments?

Yes, KorPro is designed with enterprise-safe principles. It operates with read-only permissions, requires no installation inside your Kubernetes clusters, and runs entirely outside your cluster infrastructure. KorPro provides audit-first recommendations and generates a safe-to-prune checklist before any changes are made, giving you full control over what gets cleaned up.

5

How much can I save with KorPro?

Savings vary by organization, but KorPro provides real-time cost analysis with monthly and yearly estimates for unused resources. Many organizations reduce their Kubernetes infrastructure costs by 20-40% by identifying and cleaning up waste. KorPro shows you exactly how much each unused resource is costing you.

6

What's the difference between Kor and KorPro?

Kor is the open-source CLI tool that detects unused Kubernetes resources in a single cluster. KorPro is the enterprise platform built on top of Kor that adds: unlimited multi-cloud cluster support, automatic cloud provider discovery, cost analysis with savings estimates, health scores and efficiency metrics, web UI + REST API, zero-installation security, and enterprise support.

7

Does KorPro require installation in my Kubernetes clusters?

No! Unlike traditional Kubernetes tools, KorPro operates entirely outside your cluster infrastructure. It connects using read-only credentials to your cloud provider accounts and doesn't require any agents, operators, or components to be installed inside your clusters. This zero-installation approach enhances security and simplifies deployment.

8

What types of Kubernetes resources can KorPro identify?

KorPro can identify unused or underutilized: ConfigMaps, Secrets, Services, ServiceAccounts, Deployments, StatefulSets, DaemonSets, Jobs, CronJobs, Roles, RoleBindings, ClusterRoles, ClusterRoleBindings, PersistentVolumes, PersistentVolumeClaims, Ingresses, HorizontalPodAutoscalers (HPAs), PodDisruptionBudgets (PDBs), and more.

9

How does KorPro pricing work?

KorPro offers flexible pricing options including a free tier for small teams and enterprise plans with performance-based or fixed rate models. Pricing scales with your usage and includes enterprise support. Contact our sales team for a custom quote tailored to your organization's needs.

10

Can KorPro integrate with my existing CI/CD pipeline?

Yes! KorPro provides a REST API that allows you to integrate resource cleanup checks into your CI/CD pipelines, GitOps workflows, and automation tools. You can programmatically access scan results, cost analysis, and safe-to-prune recommendations.

11

What permissions does KorPro need?

KorPro requires read-only access to your cloud provider accounts and Kubernetes clusters. It never needs write permissions or cluster admin access. All credentials are client-controlled, meaning you maintain full control over access and can revoke permissions at any time.

12

How often does KorPro scan my clusters?

KorPro can scan your clusters on-demand or on a scheduled basis (daily, weekly, etc.). You have full control over scan frequency and can trigger scans manually through the web UI or API whenever needed.

13

Does KorPro automatically delete resources?

No. KorPro follows an audit-first approach and never automatically deletes resources. It provides recommendations and generates a safe-to-prune checklist, but you maintain full control over what gets cleaned up and when. This ensures safety in production environments.

14

Can I use KorPro with on-premises Kubernetes clusters?

Yes! While KorPro specializes in multi-cloud environments (GCP, AWS, Azure), it can also connect to on-premises or self-managed Kubernetes clusters using kubeconfig files. Contact our team for specific setup guidance.

15

What kind of support does KorPro provide?

Enterprise plans include dedicated support with SLA guarantees, onboarding assistance, and direct access to our engineering team. We also provide comprehensive documentation, guides for each cloud provider, and an active community for open-source Kor users.
