If you’re like most companies running large-scale data intensive workloads in the cloud, you’ve realized that you have significant quantities of waste in your environment. Smart organizations implement a host of FinOps activities to ameliorate or address this waste and the cost it incurs, things such as: … and the list goes on. These are infrastructure-level optimizations.

Gartner, Inc. estimates that worldwide spending on public cloud services is forecast to grow 20.4% to total $678.8 billion in 2024. With many organizations incorporating FinOps practices to govern how they spend their money in the cloud, Real-Time Cost Optimization is essential to saving money. In particular, as the market for Generative AI workloads continues to explode, organizations will need to consider a range of cost-savings models to extract optimal efficiency.

Apache Spark versus Kubernetes? Or both? The past few years have seen a dramatic increase in companies deploying Spark on Kubernetes (K8s). This isn’t surprising, considering the benefits that K8s brings to the table. Adopting Kubernetes can help improve resource utilization and reduce cloud expenses, a key initiative in many organizations given today’s economic climate.

With Kubernetes emerging as the de facto operating system of the cloud, capable of running almost anything, it’s not a surprise that many enterprises are rapidly porting their Apache Spark workloads to Kubernetes. This includes migrating Amazon EMR workloads to Amazon EKS to gain the additional deployment and scaling benefits of a fully managed service like Amazon EKS.

When Apache Spark works well, it works really well. Sometimes, though, users find themselves asking this frustrating question. Spark is such a popular large-scale data processing framework because it is capable of performing more computations and carrying out more stream processing than many other data processing solutions. Compared to popular conventional systems like MapReduce, Spark is 10-100x faster.

Here at Pepperdata, we’ve been on a number of sales calls lately where there’s a sense of incredulity on the other side of the video screen. How does Pepperdata extract as much as 50 percent in cost savings from some of the most sophisticated clusters in the world, the ones that had already been optimized for peak performance by the most dedicated and talented IT teams? It almost seems too good to be true. It’s not.

In the epic struggle against spiraling cloud costs, the only durable solution is automated optimization. The manual engineering efforts that most people call “cloud cost optimization” these days can be time-consuming and tedious, if not impossible at the scale at which modern data stacks operate. Moreover, they redirect valuable human resources away from technical innovation.

Wondering how to get Pepperdata Capacity Optimizer implemented into your application environment?
  |  By Pepperdata
Pepperdata Capacity Optimizer Next Gen is the only cost optimization solution for both Apache Spark and microservices that can save you between 30–47% on your cloud bill. No matter if you try to manually tune your applications on your own, an estimated one-third of what is spent every day on cloud computing resources is wasted. While you might have cost-optimized your infrastructure with things like savings plans, spot and reserved instances, that doesn’t address the waste inherent in your applications.

Big data stacks are being moved to the cloud, enabling enterprises to get the most value from the information they own. But as demand for big data grows, enterprises must enhance the performance of their cloud assets. Faced with the complexity of cloud environments, most enterprises resort to scaling up their whole cloud infrastructure, adding more compute, and running more processes.

There has been an ongoing surge of companies beginning to run Spark on Kubernetes. In our recently published 2021 Big Data on Kubernetes Report, we discovered that 63% of today's enterprises are running Spark on Kubernetes. The same report found that nearly 80% of organizations embrace Kubernetes to optimize the utilization of compute resources and reduce their cloud expenses. However, running Spark on Kubernetes is not without complications and problems.

Increasingly, many organizations find that their current legacy monitoring solutions are no longer adequate in today's modern IT world. These enterprises find themselves struggling to manage and understand unprecedented amounts of data. With such large amounts of data needing to be dealt with, it is no wonder why it's a struggle for enterprises to leverage it for business success. Not to mention that optimizing performance and keeping costs in line is a technical challenge they must face at the same time.

According to Gartner, as of 2019, 35% of CIOs are decreasing their investment in their infrastructure and data center, while 33% of them are increasing their investments in cloud services or solutions.

Pepperdata offers big data observability and automated optimization both in the cloud and on premises.

As big data stacks increase in scope and complexity, most data-driven organizations understand that automation and observability are necessary for modern real-time big data performance management. Without automation and observability, engineers and developers cannot optimize or ensure application and infrastructure performance, nor keep cost under control. With support for technologies including Kubernetes, Hadoop, EMR, GCP, Spark, Kafka, Tex, Hive, and more, Pepperdata knows big data. Powered by machine learning, the Pepperata solution delivers application SLAs required by the business while providing complete visibility and insight into your big data stack.

Pepperdata helps some of the most successful companies in the world manage their big data performance. These customers choose and trust Pepperdata because of three key product differentiators: autonomous optimization, full-stack observability, and cost optimization.

Automatically optimize your big data workloads in real time with these three key features:

  • Autonomous Optimization: Pepperdata Capacity Optimizer provides autonomous optimization that enables you to reclaim resource waste with continuous tuning and automatic optimization; optimize Spark workloads with job-specific recommendations, insights, and alerts; and get an up to 50% throughput improvement to run more workloads.
  • Full-Stack Observability: Pepperdata Platform Spotlight and Application Spotlight provide big data observability, giving you actionable data about your applications and infrastructure. Understanding system behavior can transform your organization from being reactive to proactive to predictive.
  • Cost Optimization: Optimizing operational costs is critical for your business. As data volumes increase so does complexity—and the costs of processing it. Whether you are running Apache Spark, Hive, Kubernetes, or Presto workloads, Pepperdata can help your organization optimize operational costs.
