We added the new **Adaptive Pod placement solution** to the Kompass product:

Adaptive Pod placement improves Kubernetes cluster efficiency by optimizing how Pods are distributed across nodes. It classifies Pods as evictable or unevictable based on autoscaler logic and adjusts scheduling using affinity rules to reduce fragmentation.

You can use the **kubectl** Status check function to see the potential savings from enabling the solution.

You can enable Kompass Adaptive Pod placement on clusters where Kompass Pod rightsizing is enabled.
