Cost Advisor: Optimize and Rightsize your Kubernetes Costs

Kubernetes has broken down barriers as the cornerstone of cloud-native application infrastructure in recent years. In addition, cloud vendors offer flexibility, speedy operations, high availability, SLAs (service-level agreement) that guarantee your service availability, and a large catalog of embedded services. But as organizations mature in their Kubernetes journey, monitoring and optimizing costs is the next stage in their cloud-native transformation.

Sysdig Cost Advisor: Optimize your Kubernetes Costs

Every company running its applications on the cloud needs to estimate its operating costs, but running workloads on Kubernetes clusters across multiple providers often makes it hard. Without Kubernetes context in the cloud billing reports, users aren’t able to group costs or effectively assign the resources to the proper cost center. To address these gaps in Kubernetes cost monitoring, we are excited to announce Cost Advisor, a new feature in Sysdig Monitor that will give you visibility into Kubernetes costs and automatically help you identify areas to reduce them.

Understanding Kubernetes Evicted Pods

What does it mean that Kubernetes Pods are evicted? They are terminated, usually the result of not having enough resources. But why does this happen? Eviction is a process where a Pod assigned to a Node is asked for termination. One of the most common cases in Kubernetes is Preemption, where in order to schedule a new Pod in a Node with limited resources, another Pod needs to be terminated to leave resources to the first one.
