Sizing a micro-service requires running performance testing and constant optimization. Komodor analyzes the actual consumption against the allocated resources and provides an extensive overview of suggested modifications and savings.
Our right-sizing dashboard includes: a high-level picture of your current cost recommended cost and the potential saving
- Visualization of our recommendations against your requests during the last 30 days, for both Memory & CPU
- Detailed right sizing recommendations per service
- The table will only include services in which there is a saving potential
When to use Right Sizing
If | Then |
---|---|
You’re looking to cut down significantly increased Kubernetes cloud costs without compromising performance | Choose the perfect optimization strategy for your needs to confidently right size |
You (or your teams) are unsure how to configure CPU & memory requests for your containers, or duplicate requests from existing containers | Komodor cannot recommend initial requests but can offer adjusted right-sizing recommendations based on actual usage within a week |
Understanding the right-sizing page
- Our right sizing recommendations are based on the last 30 days
- Therefore, expect to see different results vs. your cost allocation page, in which you can set different timelines
- Your overview data can be scoped to one or more clusters (default: all)
- However, you can apply additional filters for the detailed report at the bottom of the page by clicking on ‘Filters’ right above it
- The right sizing report looks quite similar to the cost allocation report, but there are a few key differences:
- This report offers a more granular default view, showing recommendations per service
- The CPU (core) and memory (MiB) columns will include both your current status (similar to the Cost Allocation report) and the recommended new requests
Komodor’s Optimization Strategies
When making right-sizing recommendations, it’s important to understand your preferences and needs. Choose a specific optimization strategy to ensure our recommendations are based on the right balance between your costs and your resource availability.
Strategy Name | Description |
---|---|
Conservative | Prirotizies availability over cost optimization |
Moderate - Recommended, default strategy | A mixed, balanced strategy |
Aggressive | Prioritizes cost optimization over availability |
