Observability firm groundcover Inc. has launched a beta feature called Autonomous Infrastructure, designed to automatically optimize processor and memory requests for Kubernetes workloads. The tool leverages technology from Wand Cloud Ltd., a startup acquired by groundcover in September.
The new feature analyzes production history collected by groundcover sensors to compare requested resources against actual usage. It provides users with estimates of potential monthly savings and identifies under-provisioned workloads. Users can input their own unit costs for calculations, with support for public cloud pricing and billing data integration planned for the future.
To maintain cluster stability, the software evaluates node capacity before adjusting requests to prevent resource starvation for neighboring services. The feature remains inactive until manually enabled by an engineer, who can select specific namespaces or clusters for management. During the beta, the tool modifies requests while keeping limits unchanged.
The beta is currently available to all existing groundcover customers at no extra cost. The company is actively recruiting design partners and plans to demonstrate the technology at the KubeCon and CloudNativeCon North America event in Salt Lake City, scheduled for November 9–12.
Groundcover is a venture-backed company that has secured $160 million in total funding. This includes a $100 million Series C round led by One Peak, which was finalized in July.
