Flexera (formerly NetApp Spot)
Spot by NetApp
AI-powered cloud workload automation platform using machine learning to predict spot instance interruptions, capacity trends, and pricing fluctuations. Elastigroup provides intelligent cluster management with up to 90% cost savings on interruptible compute; Ocean delivers serverless Kubernetes optimization with automated node provisioning; Eco automates Reserved Instance and Savings Plan lifecycle management.
Spot by NetApp is a cloud workload automation platform built around spot instance and reserved capacity optimization. ML models analyze spot pool signals — pricing history, interruption frequency, capacity availability — across instance types and availability zones to predict interruption probability and migrate workloads before reclamation.
Three products operate independently or together. Elastigroup manages stateless cluster compute on EC2, GCE, and Azure VMs with automatic spot-to-on-demand fallback. Ocean manages Kubernetes node provisioning with the same ML-driven spot strategy plus pod bin-packing. Eco manages Reserved Instance and Savings Plan lifecycle: purchasing, selling on the secondary market, and rebalancing as workload mix shifts.
Acquired by Flexera from NetApp. Supported clouds: AWS, GCP, and Azure. Free tier: basic monitoring; autonomous actions require paid tiers via sales.
Key Features
Spot interruption prediction: ML models analyze historical interruption rates, capacity signals, and pricing trends per instance type and AZ to predict pool availability and migrate workloads proactively
Elastigroup stateless cluster management: manages EC2, GCE, and Azure VM pools with automatic spot-to-on-demand failover in under 60 seconds when interruption signals are detected
Ocean Kubernetes optimization: replaces Cluster Autoscaler with ML-driven node provisioning selecting instance types and spot pools based on pod requirements and interruption probability
Eco commitment lifecycle management: purchases, rebalances, and sells AWS Reserved Instances and Savings Plans on the secondary market as workload composition changes
Live workload migration: moves running pods between nodes before spot reclamation using Spot's migration controller — avoids interruption reaching stateful or latency-sensitive workloads
AWS, GCP, and Azure support: cross-cloud spot management from a unified dashboard with per-cloud optimization policies and separate billing visibility
