Capacity Planning: Right-Size Your Infrastructure

Visualize node group utilization, identify oversized infrastructure, and run what-if scenarios for instance type changes, spot ratios, and Graviton migration.

Capacity Planning: Right-Size Your Infrastructure

Beyond pod right-sizing

Right-sizing pods helps at the container level, but oversized or poorly packed node groups keep infrastructure costs high. Capacity planning targets the infrastructure itself.

Infrastructure breakdown

See every node group with its instance type, node count, spot vs. on-demand split, and current utilization — highlighting low packing density and idle capacity.

Optimization opportunities

Concrete savings with projected monthly impact and risk assessment:

  • Pool consolidation: merge underutilized node groups running similar workloads
  • Spot ratio optimization: increase spot percentage for fault-tolerant workloads
  • Graviton/ARM migration: switch to ARM-based instances for 20-30% cost reduction
  • Instance type downsizing: replace oversized instances based on actual demand

What-if simulator

Select a scenario and compare projected cost, utilization, and packing density against your current setup before committing.
