Avoid VPA Pitfalls and Optimize Kubernetes Resource Allocation 📉 VPA is powerful, but it has limitations with garbage-collected languages like JVM, stateful applications, and specific workload types. In Daniele Polencic's white paper 'A Practical Guide to the VPA', you'll discover: - The art of setting optimal CPU and Memory requests/limits - Overcoming challenges with DaemonSets and StatefulSets - Configuring VPA modes: Recommender vs. Updater Download your copy today! https://hubs.la/Q02xWY2g0 #Kubernetes #k8s #VPA #HPA #devopstools #devops #learnk8s

[LIVE WEBINAR] Optimizing #Kubernetes Node Utilization Picking the optimal nodes for your Kubernetes cluster and making sure they are consistently well-utilized is hard. Join Kubernetes optimization experts Matthew Parker and Anton Weiss as they lay out a strategic approach for continuously optimizing your clusters - from the initial node selection and up to application runtime optimization.

Something cool (and super useful) is cooking up behind the scenes and we can't wait to share it with you all! 🍳🔥 Trust us, you won't want to miss out on this! 🙌 

We ❤️ #AWS #EKS! If you're running on AWS - the best, most hassle-free option of getting a Kubernetes cluster is by using EKS - the Elastic Kubernetes Service. The control plane of EKS clusters is fully managed by AWS while the data plane - i.e. the worker nodes can be defined and managed by the user in various available configurations. There are several ways we can create and manage EKS clusters. In this series, Anton Weiss provides an overview of all the different options and a rundown of each method's benefits and downsides. Way 1 - Create an EKS Cluster in AWS Management Console: https://lnkd.in/dn2ks4we Way 2 - Create an EKS Cluster in AWS cli: https://lnkd.in/dyvUQeyU Way 3 - Create an EKS Cluster with eksctl: https://lnkd.in/dceKW3YQ … To be continued: Way 4 - Create an EKS Cluster with CloudFormation Way 5 - Create an EKS Cluster with python and boto3 Way 6 - Create an EKS Cluster with AWS CDK Way 7 - Create an EKS Cluster with Terraform Way 8 - Create an EKS Cluster with Pulumi Way 9 - Create an EKS Cluster with Crossplane Which way do you prefer? 🤔 #kubernetes #k8s #devops

What a fantastic birthday celebration we had for KuberTENes! 🎉🎂 From delicious cake to mouth-watering pizza, we indulged in some treats while showcasing multiple #perfectscale demos. It was truly amazing to connect with the best #kubernetes community from all over the world. Thank you to everyone for the inspiring conversations! At the beginning of June, we celebrated Kubernetes & Cloud Native in Berlin, 🇩🇪 hosted by Mercedes-Benz. Karim Shakirov (DevOps Engineer, PerfectScale) discussed a strategic method of autonomously and continuously optimizing your K8s environment with a combination of Karpenter, Keda, and pod right-sizing.   From Berlin to 🇨🇿, we attended KCD Czech & Slovak Anton Weiss & Ivan Yurochko talked about how to unleash the power of k6 for stress-testing your K8s deployments. Amichai L., Christoph Andreas T., Gaya Lesser, Ivan Yurochko attended the first in-person Kubernetes Community Days Spain 🇪🇸 Ivan Yurochko discussed on the stage how to optimize Karpenter and avoid common pitfalls. Brendan Cooper celebrated KuberTENes Birthday Bash in Raleigh,🇺🇸 Will Liu attended the Kubernetes Meetup in Mountain View, 🇺🇸 Arthur Berezin celebrated #KuberTENes Birthday Bash in Tel Aviv🇮🇱 while sharing the essence of dynamic resource allocation and its benefits. Happy 10th Birthday, #Kubernetes! We can't wait to see all the incredible projects you create with #k8s. Keep building and innovating!

- 15%-20% of cluster workloads contain resilience and performance risk, due to lack of resources - On average K8s clusters are 3X over provisioned - 50% of DevOps/SRE time is spent on defining/fixing K8s configs Is your DevOps engineer to blame for your #Kubernetes cluster woes? That sounds expensive, right? 💸 Before you jump to conclusions and consider firing your DevOps engineer, consider these tips to set them up for success: 1️⃣ Gain clarity into your K8s clusters: Understand your current K8s setup to identify optimization opportunities. 2️⃣ Identify resiliency risks: Prioritize and focus on the most important risks. 3️⃣ Set alerts: Receive real-time notifications on performance issues. 4️⃣ Automate tasks: Use automation for scaling, deployment, and resource allocation. 5️⃣ Implement owner-led actions: Encourage team members to take ownership of their services. 6️⃣ Continuous improvement: Regularly review configurations, adapt to changing needs, and iterate. Optimization is an ongoing journey, and with the right strategies in place, your DevOps engineer can help your Kubernetes cluster reach its peak performance. If you are interested in learning how PerfectScale helps you: 🚀 Drop at least 30% in K8s compute costs 🚀 Reduce 90% in MTTR and SLA/SLO breaches (for capacity-related K8s issues) 🚀 Cut time spent on defining/fixing K8s configs by 70% Book a dedicated demo: https://lnkd.in/ggAXj84g or start your free trial here: https://lnkd.in/d_RD3x5Q 🚀 #DevOps #Kubernetes #Optimization #PeakPerformance #ContinuousImprovement
