Embracing Kubernetes can introduce significant cost performance challenges. While Kubernetes offers flexibility and scalability, it can also lead to cost inefficiencies if not managed meticulously. As organizations deploy containerized applications, they often allocate more compute resources than necessary, resulting in overprovisioning and inflated cloud bills. Moreover, as organizations’ Kubernetes practices mature they require continuous monitoring and adjustment to ensure optimal governance and compliance. By implementing policy controls that define and continuously enforce cost-optimization priorities, organizations can ensure that their cost performance goals are met automatically and continuously.
This webinar will cover three key technologies that help Kubernetes customers on AWS achieve autonomous cost-optimization compliance.
- Karpenter: An intelligent node provisioner that optimizes worker nodes to match workload resource requests
- StormForge Optimize Live: A workload resource optimizer that continuously right-sizes resource requests with machine learning based on usage patterns.
- Kyverno: an open-source Kubernetes policy management engine that allows you to define, enforce, and audit policies for your Kubernetes resources.

About Nirmata
Nirmata enables platform engineering teams to succeed with Kubernetes, from build to run, using policy-as-code to govern security, operations, and costs across Kubernetes clusters. Nirmata is powered by Kubernetes-native policy engine Kyverno.
Sample policies for cost/resource optimization
About StormForge
StormForge reduces cloud costs by right-sizing Kubernetes application resources, automatically and continuously. StormForge machine learning analyzes actual utilization and automatically adjusts resources up or down to meet demand, while still ensuring reliability.
Unlike cloud cost management tools that merely provide visibility, StormForge uses intelligence to determine the optimal configurations, and automation to continuously improve efficiency. StormForge reduces cloud resource usage by 30% or more, guaranteed.
