🚀 From Over-provisioned to Optimized: Automating FinOps with GitOps

In the world of Kubernetes, over-provisioning isn’t just a mistake—it is a structural reality. We often treat it as a “safety tax” to ensure our applications run 24/7, but that tax is becoming increasingly expensive. At a recent talk, Hrittik Roy (Platform Advocate at Loft Labs and CNCF Ambassador) and Kunal Das shared a provocative truth: your massive cloud bill isn’t an architecture problem; it is an automation problem.
