"We built it because we needed it. You need it too."
Every cloud GPU cluster bleeds money while idle. Standard tools (KEDA, cluster autoscaler) only scale down when no pods are scheduled — they don't check if the pods are actually doing GPU work.
The EOSE Chaos Cost Gate checks every 4 hours:
- If GPU pods are running → leave it alone, retry in 4h
- If GPU pools are idle → scale to 0 immediately
- Maximum idle cost: 4h × GPU rate (H100: ~CA$60, T4: ~CA$6)
We went from CA$10,552/month (March) to a projected CA$8,900 (April) with this one gate.
The gate paid for itself in week one.
