We’re thrilled to announce our partnership with Nutanix, integrating Densify’s AI-powered Kubernetes optimization solution, Kubex, with the Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP). This collaboration brings together two leading technologies to radically improve how enterprise Kubernetes environments are managed—through AI-driven insights and end-to-end automation of resource optimization.

We’re excited to announce the release of Densify 3.0, a major step forward in our mission to deliver precision-driven cloud optimization across Kubernetes and public cloud environments. This release brings to life a new user experience, powerful automation capabilities, richer data insights, and smarter APIs—all designed to simplify and scale your optimization journey.

To coincide with KubeCon Europe 2025, we’re excited to announce the latest release of Densify’s Kubernetes optimization engine, Kubex, which delivers full-stack resource management and seamless automation resource optimization at enterprise scale. This release delivers the advanced controls enterprises have been asking for—without sacrificing the intelligence and precision that sets Densify apart.

EKS Auto Mode is a huge step forward in managing your EKS clusters by automating complex tasks, enhancing cost efficiency, simplifying management, and ensuring resource optimization. These features make Kubernetes more accessible and manageable, particularly for organizations looking to leverage containerized environments without the overhead of extensive manual configuration and management.

Kubernetes (K8s) has transformed cloud-native infrastructure, enabling enterprises to build scalable, agile environments. Yet, alongside its benefits, Kubernetes introduces a significant blind spot —a rapidly growing part of cloud budgets that has become more and more difficult to optimize. Excess spend is common, and is caused by incorrectly specified container resources, stranding tremendous amounts of resources while at the same time introducing significant operational risk.

The FinOps Foundation states that “For the first time, Reducing waste was the highest key priority for FinOps practitioners across all spending tiers. This may be influenced by macroeconomic trends, with businesses looking for ways to reduce spending without reducing the value they are getting from their cloud investments.”

In cloud-native environments, autoscaling and optimization are often confused, yet they serve different purposes. While Kubernetes offers several built-in autoscaling features, these are often mistaken for optimization. In reality, autoscaling is reactive, responding to changing demands, whereas optimization is proactive, focused on configuring workloads efficiently from the start.

At Intel Vision April 2024, Densify won Intel Partner of the year for Cloud Solutions. This award recognizes the impact of our jointly developed offering: Intel® Cloud Optimizer. Densify – Cloud: For Densify’s collaboration with Intel to continuously fine-tune the Intel Cloud Optimizer software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering, to include a sophisticated understanding of key Intel hardware features and how they benefit specific customer workloads.

On this episode of Densify Talks, we welcome Gokul Naidu, Senior Manager, Cloud Operations for SAP’s SuccessFactors Product Suite. Andrew and Gokul discuss an array of topics in the episode. The general theme of the discussion focuses on cost management and the importance of being prepared, aware, and executing the right planning in order to avoid sticker shock.

Densify has just been recognized by GigaOm as a Leader and “Fast Mover” in the market for Kubernetes Resource Management. This is the second year in a row that Densify has gained this distinction and comes in addition to also being named a leader and outperformer in GigaOm’s report on Cloud Resource Optimization in June of last year.
