Harness’ Cloud Cost Management is centered on three key pillars: Cost Visibility, Cost Optimization and Cost Governance.
Currently AutoStopping, Recommendations and Commitment Orchestrator (in beta) are present under cost optimisation. Harness CCM has added Cluster Orchestrator for EKS (Beta) to enhance workload-driven autoscaling and intelligent management of AWS Spot instances, contributing to overall cost efficiency.

## Harness Cluster Orchestrator for Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS)

The **Harness Cluster Orchestrator** for Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), a component of the Harness Cloud Cost Management (CCM) module, is designed to tackle the obstacles listed above. It **intelligently scales EKS cluster nodes** according to actual workload requirements. Additionally, by leveraging CCM's **distributed Spot orchestration capability**, you can **save up to 90% on cloud costs** with Amazon EC2 Spot Instances.

I guess Steps 2 and 3 can be removed from here. We can start from a state where the customer already has the kubernetes connector created. We can just start from clicking enable button
