Cloud Autostopping

AutoStopping Rules eliminate cloud waste by automatically shutting down idle resources and instantly bringing them back when activity resumes. They can safely leverage Spot Instances without interruption risk and schedule workloads to scale up or down based on defined time windows. This intelligent automation can reduce non-production costs by up to 70%, ensuring you pay only for what’s active—while maintaining seamless access to stopped instances.

Cluster Orchestrator

Karpenter-driven autoscaling, integrated with our Commitment Orchestrator, ensures your cloud investments never go to waste by maximizing underutilized commitments. With Cluster Orchestrator, you gain smarter workload distribution across Spot, On-Demand, and Reserved Instances, along with precise control over node placement. The platform also provides intelligent rightsizing recommendations and full cost visibility—helping you reduce spend, improve efficiency, and scale your K8s clusters with confidence.

Visibility

Harness CCM provides Cost Perspectives, a powerful feature that organizes cloud expenses by meaningful business groupings — including teams, applications, workloads, regions, labels, namespaces, and more. This enables precise chargeback/showback and hierarchical cost attribution across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes clusters.
You get multi-cloud and container-level insights — including detailed visibility into Kubernetes cost allocation by node, cluster, or workload.
The platform supports custom BI dashboards, enabling users to create tailored views of spending patterns to support business decision-making

Detailed feature comparison

Smarter Commitment Management

At the core of Harness CCM is the Commitment Orchestrator, powered by ML-driven automation. It optimizes Reserved Instances (RIs) and Savings Plans with:

Convertible RIs for stable workloads.
Savings Plans for variable usage.
Strategy which balances maximum savings with minimal lock-in term, reducing risks of underutilization or overcommitment.

Currently, Harness CCM supports AWS Compute and RDS, with upcoming support for ElastiCache, OpenSearch, DynamoDB, Redshift, and Commitment purchases for GCP and Azure.

Beyond Commitments

Harness CCM goes far beyond discounts to deliver a complete FinOps and governance platform:

Kubernetes-native insights down to namespaces, nodes, pods, and workloads.
Autostopping Rules for idle non-production resources (~70% savings), along with spot orchestration and cluster optimization for maximum efficiency.
Governance-as-code, featuring AI-driven tagging, orphaned resource cleanup, and compliance enforcement.
Anomaly detection with real-time alerts (email/Slack) and intelligent recommendations to prevent bill shocks.
Budgets and forecasts with hierarchical planning and real-time visibility.
Perspectives, cost categories, and custom/OOTB BI dashboards for flexible cost allocation, chargeback/showback, and business mapping.
Cluster Orchestrator to rightsize and optimize Kubernetes clusters automatically.

Developer-First Design

Unlike traditional cost tools, Harness CCM is built with developers in mind. Cost visibility is integrated directly into CI/CD workflows, giving engineers hourly insights and empowering them to take action. This ensures that FinOps becomes part of the development lifecycle, not an afterthought.

Conclusion

Harness CCM is more than a savings tool—it’s a comprehensive FinOps platform. By combining commitment automation, deep multi-cloud and Kubernetes insights, proactive anomaly detection, governance, and developer-first integration, it enables organizations to achieve sustained savings with operational efficiency. For teams looking to go beyond discounts and build a scalable FinOps practice, Harness CCM is the clear choice.
