It's enough to give any CTO heartburn. After all, you implemented Kubernetes and containers to increase efficiency and reduce costs! Yet somehow, it feels like you've lost control of your spend. The problem often comes down to the limitations of your legacy cluster autoscaler. Tools like the Kubernetes cluster autoscaler were great when Kubernetes was new. But let's face it - their capabilities are limited compared to today's workloads. Relying on rigid auto-scaling groups and similarly sized nodes just doesn't cut it anymore. The result? You end up with inefficient overprovisioning, idle capacity, and nodes that don't properly align with workload needs. And those inefficient nodes drive up your cloud spend exponentially. Fortunately, there's a better way. Enter Karpenter - the new open source node provisioning tool purpose built for Kubernetes. Karpenter takes a workload-centric approach to right-sizing nodes on the fly based on actual resource requests. It also automatically consolidates workloads onto fewer nodes to minimize waste. Engineers who have made the switch cite 40% cost reductions or more! https://hubs.la/Q02ywgPq0 #kubernetes

GitLab Meetups feature presentations, workshops, and hands-on sessions about DevOps, DevSecOps, CI/CD, and other cutting-edge topics. You'll be able to connect with other professionals in your area & might even meet potential collaborators or mentors. Meetups often include GitLab representatives or experts who can answer your questions, share insider knowledge, and provide guidance tailored to your needs. Not only that, many GitLab Meetups offer cool swag, snacks, and a casual environment to geek out about all things DevOps. Whether you're a seasoned GitLab user or just getting started, these events provide incredible value. You can check the GitLab Meetup Pro page to find one near you. It’s worth attending! https://bit.ly/3OJqswH #DevSecOps #TechCommunity

Embracing sustainability: managing Kubernetes clusters with innovation and responsibility In the Nederlandse Kubernetes Podcast, Maarten and Jurg shared how they use open-source components and the Cluster API to manage Kubernetes clusters efficiently. They leverage tools like KubeVirt to manage virtual machines, allowing them to run Kubernetes within Kubernetes and maximizing resource utilization and flexibility. A key strategy was using refurbished hardware. By extending the lifespan of existing hardware and integrating it into its infrastructure, Aknostic reduces costs and minimizes environmental impact. This approach aligns with its commitment to sustainability, proving that high performance and sustainability practices can go hand in hand. The always-returning discussion with this topic is the alleged increased carbon efficiency of new model hardware (chips in particular). The point is that stuff's lifespan is essential. Refurbished can mean reusing the chassis and retrofitting it with later generations of chips, memory, and disks. However, this debate will ultimately be settled with full transparency (embodied emissions) and carbon reporting. 💡 In more everyday terms, perhaps old shit running the Nordics is better than the latest and greatest in a dense urban environment like Amsterdam. Share your thoughts on balancing IT infrastructure performance, cost, and sustainability.
