Platform Overview

Everything you need to own your cloud costs

KernelRun connects to all your cloud accounts and gives you a single place to understand, schedule, and reduce your infrastructure spend.

Cost Visibility

See everything. Miss nothing.

Most cloud bills are a mystery until the invoice arrives. KernelRun shows you what's running, what it costs, and who owns it — updated every 15 minutes, not once a day.

  • Real-time spend tracking across compute instances, managed databases, caching layers, and object storage
  • Automatic resource grouping by environment, team, and project
  • 18-month trend history with anomaly flagging
  • Budget alerts before you exceed thresholds, not after

Resource Scheduling

Automate the obvious wins

Non-production environments are the lowest-hanging fruit in cloud cost reduction. KernelRun's scheduler handles start/stop windows so you don't have to remember to turn things off.

  • Schedule compute instances and container clusters on custom windows
  • Handles managed databases and caching layers with safe shutdown sequences
  • One-click override for urgent evening or weekend work
  • Dependency graph ensures resources stop and start in the right order
  • Savings estimation shows projected monthly impact before you commit

Spend Attribution

Know which team owns which cost

Tagging compliance is rarely perfect. KernelRun's inference engine assigns untagged resources to the right team using naming patterns, account structure, and historical context.

  • Infers ownership for untagged resources automatically
  • Team-level cost dashboards without requiring perfect tag hygiene
  • Chargeback and showback reports exportable to CSV or API
  • Tracks tag drift so you can see where hygiene is slipping

Anomaly Detection

Catch spikes before finance does

Cost anomalies rarely announce themselves. A forgotten load test, a misconfigured autoscaling group, a batch job gone infinite — KernelRun spots them in real time.

Smart Alerting

Alerts that understand seasonality and growth patterns. Fewer false positives, faster signal on real problems.

Root Cause Analysis

When a cost spike triggers an alert, KernelRun immediately shows which resources drove the increase and by how much.

Slack & Email Routing

Route alerts to the right channel — infra team gets infrastructure alerts, finance gets budget threshold notifications.

Technical Architecture

How KernelRun connects to your infrastructure

Read-only access to billing and monitoring APIs. No agents to install, no code to change.

Read-Only Access

KernelRun only requests read permissions for cost and inventory APIs. No write access to your production resources except for scheduled actions you explicitly configure.

No Agent Required

Integrates via cloud provider APIs directly. No software to install in your environment, no SDK to instrument, no ops overhead to manage.

SOC 2 Type II

KernelRun is SOC 2 Type II certified. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Credentials are stored in a dedicated secrets manager, never in application code.
