kubmin.
workload intelligence for Kubernetes

OpenTelemetry-native workload intelligence for Kubernetes. Per-image-version cost and efficiency profiling, release-over-release diff, workload classification, and Quick Wins ranked by savings with ready-to-use kubectl commands. Guided Observability wires metrics, logs, traces, and Kepler energy data through an OTel Collector bridge — bring your own Prometheus/Tempo/Loki/Grafana or let Kubmin deploy them. Supports existing cluster import (EKS, AKS, GKE Standard, kubeconfig). Powered by Kepler (CNCF) and aligned with the Green Software Foundation.
