Spot by NetApp

Spot by NetApp predicts spot interruptions and migrates workloads before reclamation.

Spot's ML models predict interruption probability, capacity trends, and pricing fluctuations across spot pools, then migrate workloads to a different instance type or AZ before reclamation hits. Elastigroup manages stateless cluster compute, Ocean does the same for serverless Kubernetes with automated node provisioning, and Eco manages Reserved Instance and Savings Plan lifecycle.

Who it's for. Teams running Kubernetes on AWS, GCP, or Azure spending more than $20K per month on compute who want maximum spot and RI utilization without writing their own controllers. Scenario: Spot's model predicts an AWS spot pool will tighten in 15 minutes, Elastigroup preemptively migrates the affected pods to a different instance type in another AZ, and the interruption never reaches the workload.

Tradeoffs. Compute only; no storage, networking, or database optimization. Autonomous migration requires write access to cloud accounts, which is a significant trust boundary. Acquired by Flexera from NetApp; product roadmap under new ownership is worth tracking. Best for stateless or migration-tolerant workloads. Free tier provides basic monitoring.
