Optimizing Kubernetes Applications for Performance and Cost - Pooja Malik

Kubernetes utilization is typically poor with only 20-45% of requested resources used. Kubernetes optimizations must meet application demands and minimizing idle resources. This video covers the potential to optimize at the pods and node/cluster level. The capabilities and limitations of Kubernetes HPA, VPA and Cluster Autoscaler are covered here. Key moments: 00:24: Resource wastage common 01:22: Kubernetes utilization is typically poor and 35% of cloud spend is wasted 02:23: How to balance application performance demand and minimizing idle resources 02:41: Autoscaling is a major pillar to manage performance and cost 02:54: Kubernetes offers scaling at pod or 03:32: Horizontal Pod Autoscaling (HPA) 05:00: How Cluster Autoscaler Works 06:06: Vertical Pod AutoScaler (VPA) 07:46: When to use HPA vs VPA 08:50: Kubernetes Autoscalers have serious limitations 11:50: Cluster Autoscaler has limitations also 13:31: Final Thoughts: scaling is key but admin overhead is high 14:24: Autonomous can solve the issues 15:04: Q&A - Why can't we use HPA and VPA 16:32: Q&A - How configure HPA and HPA for stateful workloads? 17:28: Q&A - Are there other tools that could help in HPA & VPA configuration? e.g,., Keda 18:45: Q&A - How does compliance/change management work with autonomous systems? 20:37: Q&A: Watchouts for performance management for K8s deployments 22:16: Q&A: Differences between k8s providers To learn more about Sedai visit https://bit.ly/3e3Cqlv #autonomouscloud #kubernetes #hpa #vpa #autoscaling #sre #devops #aws #a8s4k8s #sedai #autocon22

Ep 3: Jordan Chernev on Building Successful Developer Platforms

In this episode of The Future of Cloud Optimization, Suresh speaks with Jordan Chernev, Senior Technology Executive for Platform Engineering and SRE in e-commerce, retail and real estate. Jordan shares invaluable insights on building successful internal developer platforms and optimizing cloud costs at scale. Jordan also discusses the transformative role of AI in cloud cost management, highlighting how it can streamline negotiations and identify hidden savings. Additionally, Jordan emphasizes the importance of fostering a culture of continuous optimization within teams to drive profitability and efficiency. Topics discussed: The importance of shifting from a technology-oriented mindset to an end-user focus for successful cloud developer platforms and improved customer experiences. How to successfully embed optimization experts within product teams using a 12-month "educate, transition, and handoff" model. Practical strategies for balancing cost optimization with customer experience through service tiers and well-defined SLAs The role of customer empathy sessions in uncovering pain points and problem statements that can drive meaningful improvements in the software development lifecycle. Best practices for piloting early adopters to confirm hypotheses around minimum viable products and iterate quickly based on feedback and results. Tracking success metrics, such as adoption rates and key customer outcomes, to measure the impact of cloud optimization efforts on organizational performance. The transformative potential of AI in cloud cost management, including contract negotiations and identifying hidden savings opportunities within complex pricing structures. Fostering a culture of continuous optimization within teams to ensure that cost management becomes an integral part of the organizational workflow. The challenges organizations face in navigating the complexities of cloud cost optimization and the importance of cross-functional collaboration among various business units.
