ops0 analyses your IaC projects and connected cloud resources to generate actionable recommendations. These surface issues that aren't policy violations but represent risk, compliance gaps, or unnecessary cost.
Recommendations appear in two places:
| Location | How to Access |
|---|---|
| Per project | Open a project → click Recommendations in the toolbar |
| Org-wide | IaC home → Recommendations tab (shows all projects) |
Each project card on the IaC home screen also shows a recommendation count badge when issues exist.
ops0 checks whether EKS, GKE, AKS, or OKE clusters defined in your IaC projects are running Kubernetes versions that are at or near end-of-life.
| Severity | Condition |
|---|---|
| Critical | Cluster version is already end-of-life |
| Warning | Cluster version reaches EOL within 90 days |
| Info | Cluster version is supported but extended support costs apply |
Example recommendation:
⚠ WARNING — EKS Cluster Version Approaching EOL
Resource: aws_eks_cluster.production
Version: Kubernetes 1.27
EOL Date: 2024-07-26
Standard support ends on 2024-07-26. After this date, the cluster
enters extended support at an additional $0.60/cluster/hour.
Recommended action: Upgrade to Kubernetes 1.29 or later before the EOL date.
ops0 checks whether resources managed by IaC projects have the expected ops0 management tags applied after deployment.
| Tag | Purpose |
|---|---|
ops0-managed | Marks the resource as managed by ops0 |
ops0-conversationID | Links the resource back to its IaC project |
Missing tags indicate a resource may have drifted out of ops0 management or was created outside the normal workflow.
Example recommendation:
ℹ INFO — Missing ops0 Management Tags
Resource: aws_instance.web_server
Tags missing:
- ops0-managed
- ops0-conversationID
Recommended action: Redeploy the project to apply current tagging configuration,
or add tags manually and update your Terraform variables.tf.
