Kompass agent release notes

Kompass chart v0.4.11

November 1, 2026

The following Zesty Compute Optimization new features and fixes were delivered in this release:

New features

• Zesty Compute Optimization now supports Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

Fixes

• The following issues were fixed:

  • Billing and cost presentation issues in the Zesty Platform.

  • Issues related to routine maintenance and internal stability.

Agent v1.169.4

October 12, 2026

The following new Zesty Compute Optimization features and enhancements were delivered in this and prior releases:

New features

• The Zesty Platform user interface now includes the following features:

  • MDA impact: The MDA impact section gives clear visibility into the optimization impact delivered by MDA over time. Users can now see the current and cumulative impact that Compute Optimization has provided for CPU requests, memory requests, and minimum replicas. MDA impact enhances the Zesty Platform Dashboard, Clusters > Overview, and Clusters > Workloads pages.

    For more information, see View Kubernetes metrics.

  • Node pool filtering: Users can now filter for specific node pools in the Clusters > Overview page to see the value of MDA within the exact infrastructure scope where it is active.

    For more information, see Manage clusters.

  • Realtime user interface: Users now get immediate feedback across key workflows throughout the Zesty Platform, for example while applying or removing optimization to a workload or making changes in policies.

• Zesty Compute Optimization now supports Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform (OCP), including self-managed deployments and managed OpenShift services.

Enhancements

We added a Kubernetes Secret in the Zesty namespace to store Kompass license information.

For more information, see Kompass license.

In addition, these releases include routine maintenance and internal stability improvements.

Agent v1.169.0

July 26, 2026

This release includes routine maintenance and internal stability improvements.

Agent v1.168.0

July 20, 2026

This release includes routine maintenance and internal stability improvements.

Agent v1.167.0

July 12, 2026

The agent release provides the following new features:

New features

We added support for Multi-dimensional autoscaling (MDA).

MDA introduces optimization for both Pod resources and the number of replicas running in the cluster.

Before MDA, Pod rightsizing optimized the CPU and memory requests of each Pod; however, workloads may still run more baseline replicas than they actually need, creating additional waste that cannot be addressed through Pod-level optimization alone.

Minimum replica values are often configured conservatively to reduce operational risk and then remain unchanged as workload behavior evolves. As a result, workloads can continue consuming unnecessary compute resources even after CPU and memory requests have been optimized.

By combining Pod rightsizing and Replica optimization, MDA addresses both resource-level and replica-level inefficiencies, continuously aligning workload resources with actual demand across CPU, memory, and replicas.

This means:

• Better resource utilization.

• Additional cost savings beyond Pod rightsizing.

• Smarter autoscaling with minimal manual effort.

For more information, see Multi-dimensional autoscaling.

This release also includes routine maintenance and internal stability improvements.

Agent v1.166.0

July 2, 2026

This release includes routine maintenance and internal stability improvements.

Agent v1.161.0

April 6, 2026

The agent release provides the following new features, enhancements, and fixes:

New features

• These new features were added to the Kompass Pod rightsizing solution:

  • Pod rightsizing is managed on workloads by applying policies. With policies, you can apply opinionated, goal-driven configurations that adapt rightsizing behavior per workload type and usage pattern.
    You can use these built-in policies, or you can create custom policies:

    • Balanced

    • Cost-focused

    • Performance-focused

For more information, see Pod rightsizing.

• • Pod rightsizing now supports the following batch-like workload types:

    • Jobs

    • CronJobs

    • SparkApplication

    • KEDA ScaledJobs

For more information, see Apply and manage Pod rightsizing for batch-like workloads.

Enhancements

The following enhancement was added:

• Backfill data support: When the Insights agent comes back up after a temporary outage, data is backfilled from the VictoriaMetrics database.

Fixes

The following issues were fixed:

• Node costs were duplicated in the UI causing cluster costs to be inflated.

• ArgoCD misinterpreted Kompass metadata causing frequent resynchs.
