Komodor, a company that simplifies Kubernetes management, has just announced the launch of new capabilities for detecting, investigating, and remediating Kubernetes configuration drift.
Configuration drift occurs when Kubernetes clusters gradually change from their intended state, which can eventually impact operations via unexpected failures, inefficient resource utilization, and compliance gaps.
According to Komodor, configuration drift can be caused by misconfigured deployments that are causing memory limits or CPU throttling, outdated container images, manual changes that have overridden Infrastructure as Code (IaC) standards, or divergences in Helm chart versions.

Komodor’s Drift Management aims to help companies prevent this phenomenon from occurring.
Key features include:
- Instant flagging of deviations from expected configurations
- Isolating the source of the drift
- Offering side-by-side configuration comparison
- Enforcing GitOps best practices by syncing clusters to their desired state
It also offers an intuitive user interface so that admins can get a clear view of configuration changes and easily act on the findings.
“Configuration drift is one of the most pervasive and difficult to solve problems for Kubernetes teams—especially at enterprise scale. Enforcing consistency across multi-cloud and hybrid environments is exceptionally complex, resource-intensive, and a constant uphill battle,” said Itiel Shwartz, co-founder & CTO of Komodor. “With our new drift management capabilities, teams can eliminate guesswork, automate remediation, and keep their clusters running smoothly—without firefighting unexpected issues.”
The company will also be hosting a webinar on April 22nd at 1 PM ET | 10 AM PT to talk more about configuration drift. It is also offering a free demo of these capabilities to interested customers.
Komodor’s configuration drift capabilities are now generally available for all of the company’s customers and partners.
