Don't Be Greedy: Rightsize Your Kubernetes Cluster with Prometheus

Explore the critical task of rightsizing Kubernetes clusters in this 36-minute conference talk by Jesus Angel Samitier and David Lorite Solanas from Sysdig. Learn how to address the "greedy developer" problem and optimize resource allocation to prevent outages and excessive cloud costs. Discover techniques for identifying unused resources, containers without limits, and overly restrictive configurations. Follow a step-by-step process to set appropriate requests and limits, determine when to add new nodes or resize workloads, and measure the impact of optimizations. Gain valuable insights to improve resource management in your own Kubernetes deployments and ensure efficient cluster performance.
