Need broader cloud savings but have reduced compute costs and extended financial runway

I have found the integration very seamless and easy. The best features North Cloud offers are easy onboarding integration and a non-invasive business model. I find the easy onboarding integration and non-invasive business model to be the best features because we were able to reduce spend on our AWS bill without using any internal employee hours and without worrying about any complicated account changes.

Gain visibility into Kubernetes clusters and optimize resource allocation based on historical data

I think they should focus more on Kubernetes features that allow on-the-fly resource allocation without the need to restart services. They should implement this in their autoscaler to make it more useful in scenarios that require immediate scaling up or down. They should also offer more options for visualizing graphs in different ways, such as tabular views.
