Find and fix pods that block node scale-down — via API

Unevictable pods block node scale-down and drain, quietly limiting cluster elasticity and savings. Now visible and fixable via API.

We just shipped a Public API that shows you which pods are unevictable, why they're stuck, and exactly how to fix them.

You can now access unevictable pod insights — root cause, fix, and blocked savings — through the API, feed the data into your automation or AI tooling and automate remediation to free up blocked nodes.

• Full visibility: list unevictable pods per cluster/node, root cause per pod (PodDisruptionBudget, local storage, restricted eviction annotation, and more).
• Actionable recommendations: exact fix per blocker — PDB adjustment, annotation removal, or workload config change.
• Cost impact: savings blocked by each unevictable pod, so you prioritize by dollar impact, not just count.
