Densify 3.0: Introducing Cloudex, Smarter K8s Automation, and Enhanced API Power

We’re excited to announce the release of Densify 3.0, a major step forward in our mission to deliver precision-driven cloud optimization across Kubernetes and public cloud environments. This release brings to life a new user experience, powerful automation capabilities, richer data insights, and smarter APIs—all designed to simplify and scale your optimization journey.

Meet Cloudex: The New Cloud Management Experience

New with version 3.0 is Cloudex, a brand-new public cloud management console that provides a unified view of cloud resource utilization across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Powered by Densify’s patented analytics, Cloudex enables teams to:

• Instantly visualize and act on optimization opportunities
• Access granular recommendations on CPU/memory configurations
• Navigate across environments with a clean, responsive UI

Cloudex is available to all existing customers via your existing credentials and works seamlessly alongside the classic Densify Console and shares the same user conventions as Kubex.

Enhanced Kubex Automation & Insight

Kubernetes users will find several impactful upgrades to Kubex:

• New Automation Tab: Get real-time status on your container automation deployments
• Simple one-click paradigm for enabling / disabling what groups of containers will be included as part of the automated optimization workflows
• Optimization Breakdown: Hover-enhanced charts and new badges highlight key memory and configuration anomalies
• Cost Modeling: Containers with unspecified CPU/memory requests now receive cost estimations, improving visibility and accountability

Also new: the Mutating Admission Controller (MAC) now tracks automation events and reports them through Kubex.

API Updates for DevOps Agility

The Densify API gets a boost with new Kubernetes-specific endpoints:

• GET /kubernetes/clusters
• GET /kubernetes/clusters//containers?details=true

Other improvements include extended JWT expiry—now set to 60 minutes—making longer-running automation pipelines more resilient and secure.

Container Data Forwarder v4 Enhancements

Our Container Data Forwarder continues to evolve rapidly, now supporting:

• Improved node-to-container linking via provider_id
• New metrics for HPA targets, QoS classes, node taints, and working set memory

Check the updated GitHub repository for Helm charts and deployment examples.

Cloud Catalog & Pricing Data Refresh

As always, every new release includes new catalog instances. All cloud optimization recommendations are now aligned with the latest pricing data:

• AWS: Includes new i8g.48xlarge instance
• Azure: Adds 15+ new instance families like Dsv6, Fasv6, Easv6, and more
• GCP: Adds new c4a-* LSSD-backed SKUs

This ensures that cost-based recommendations are both current and accurate.
