kube-saver: Kubernetes cost estimates and resource right-sizing

kube-saver estimates Kubernetes CPU and memory costs from resource requests, metrics-server samples, and configured pricing rates. It runs locally and produces a terminal dashboard, HTML reports, and reviewable resource-change plans.

Start with installation and a first report, then check the cost model, missing-metrics interpretation, and recommendation limits. Cost reductions in plans are modeled; they do not prove a reduction in cloud billing. Generated HTML can be viewed offline, while scans require Kubernetes API connectivity.

These docs describe the source checkout. Use kube-saver version and kube-saver --help to identify the behavior of your installed package.
