Overview

In this webinar, we dive deep into one of the most pressing challenges for organizations using Kubernetes at scale: How do you balance cost optimization with maintaining high levels of reliability? According to recent data, over 80% of cloud spend in Kubernetes environments is wasted on idle resources, yet organizations continue paying for this unused capacity. However, with the right configuration strategies and tools, this can be avoided.

What We'll Discuss:

This session will explore the fundamental principles of Kubernetes workload optimization, focusing on practical techniques to save costs while decreasing operational errors. We’ll cover how to effectively manage Kubernetes configurations from Day 0, so you’re set up for success on Day 2 and beyond. By employing modern management techniques, such as GitOps, and leveraging tools like PerfectScale and CGDevX by CloudGeometry, you'll be able to dynamically allocate resources while ensuring reliability.

Key Takeaways: 

  • Insights on wasted Kubernetes resources and how to avoid them.
  • Strategies for right-sizing your workloads to limit resource consumption without risking failure. 
  • How to use GitOps to manage workload configurations more effectively. 
  • Practical demonstrations of using PerfectScale and CGDevX to optimize configuration values for cost savings and improved reliability.

A live demo that showcases how these tools and strategies come together in a real-world environment.
