Fairwinds Insights is for platform teams to implement Kubernetes standardization and policies that enable developers. View cluster heath, implement guardrails, control costs, and reduce security risks.
Overview
Fairwinds Insights was created for platform teams that need to enable developers on Kubernetes. The software uniquely solves this problem by implementing policies across the development lifecycle to standardize Kubernetes. It saves time, resources and frustration by enabling developers to create secure, cloud efficient and reliable applications.
Fairwinds Insights integrates into the development lifecycle to apply standardization with policy enforcement. Platform teams implement out of the box policies and customized policies. Code is scanned at the time of commit against policies. Any identified issues are prohibited from entering the cluster if they do not meet standards. Insights enables a self-service Kubernetes platform that reduces code review cycles saving both application development and platform teams time.
Using Fairwinds Insights, issues identified in the cluster can automatically create tickets with remediation advice for developers. This increases the code quality, reduces drift and increases development velocity. It can help organizations adopt Kubernetes faster and increase app release velocity that creates more opportunities to generate revenue.
Highlights
- Policy and Guardrails: Insights includes hundreds of built-in policies, AI policy creation and integrations with open source policy engines like Fairwinds Polaris, OPA and Kyverno for customization. Policy and Kubernetes best practices are enforced at every stage of the development lifecycle.
- Cost and Reliability: Kubernetes workload cost allocation provides visibility into costs incurred across multiple clusters, aggregations, and custom time periods. Kubernetes cost showback reports usage costs to finance teams, allocates to developers and tracks savings over time. Use actual AWS cloud bills to calculate Kubernetes costs by workload, namespace or label. Automated rightsizing helps maximize efficiency of CPU and memory to demonstrate responsible spending and prevent app crashes.
- Security and Compliance: Fairwinds Insights continuous Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) security scanning helps DevSecOps make Kubernetes and containers secure. Includes container vulnerability scanning, image upgrade recommendations, multiple shift-left integrations, compliance mappings and evidence. Automated Fix PRs automatically fix 42% of Kubernetes misconfiguration, lowering the cost of achieving security and compliance standards.

Dimensions summary
This listing uses a single pricing dimension. You pay per node, per month, for Fairwinds Insights EKS Edition. Your cost scales directly with the number of Kubernetes nodes you run. Adding nodes raises your monthly charge; removing nodes lowers it. There are no separate tiers, instance sizes, or usage add-ons to choose between. The software provides Kubernetes cost optimization, governance, and security visibility across your clusters. Because billing follows node count, your spend grows in step with your cluster size rather than a fixed subscription fee.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
A node is a worker machine in your Kubernetes cluster, typically an EC2 instance running your containers. The software counts each active node in your monitored EKS clusters. If you run nodes across multiple clusters, every node adds to your monthly total.
Billing follows the number of nodes running. Adding nodes raises your monthly charge; removing nodes lowers it. There is no fixed subscription regardless of size. Autoscaling events that change node counts affect what you pay for that period.
Each node is covered for Kubernetes cost optimization, workload right-sizing, policy governance, container vulnerability scanning, and compliance visibility. You also get multi-cluster visibility and policy-as-code guardrails. All monitored nodes receive the same features; there are no separate feature tiers to select.
