Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to deploy DeepCost to my AKS cluster?

Deployment typically takes 5-10 minutes. Simply install the Kubernetes operator, configure your Azure credentials, and DeepCost will start analyzing your cluster immediately.

What Azure permissions does DeepCost need?

DeepCost requires read access to Azure Cost Management, Azure Monitor metrics, and limited write access to Azure Resource Manager for automated scaling and optimization. All permissions follow Azure least-privilege principles.

Is my AKS cluster data secure?

Yes, DeepCost runs as a Kubernetes operator within your cluster. All sensitive data stays within your Azure environment. We use encrypted connections, Azure managed identities, and follow SOC 2 compliance standards.

Can I monitor multiple AKS clusters?

Absolutely. DeepCost supports multi-cluster deployments across different Azure regions and subscriptions. You can manage all your clusters from a single dashboard with namespace-level cost visibility.

How quickly will I see cost savings on AKS?

Most customers see actionable recommendations within 24 hours. With automated node pool optimization and Azure Spot integration, typical savings of 40-60% can be achieved within the first 30 days.
