Optimizing AWS EKS with Karpenter: Intelligent Autoscaling and Right-Sizing for Kubernetes Nodes
Optimizing AWS EKS with Karpenter: Intelligent Autoscaling and Right-Sizing for Kubernetes Nodes
As organizations embrace Kubernetes for its flexibility and scalability in managing containerized applications, one of the critical considerations is efficient resource management. Kubernetes clusters running on cloud providers like AWS need a reliable mechanism for node autoscaling and resource right-sizing to optimize costs while maintaining performance. Ensuring the right amount of compute resources is crucial for applications to function smoothly without over-provisioning, which leads to unnecessary expenses or under-provisioning, which can degrade performance.
