Summer 2024 Releases Recap

We hope you had a chance to enjoy a vacation and that Summer 2024 brought you many warm and memorable experiences, with its vibe still in the air. Now is a great time to reflect on all the positives that happened, so I invite you to explore PerfectScale’s recent releases and updates designed to make your K8s optimization journey even more productive and effective!

Enhanced Flexibility and Expanded Automation Coverage

PerfectScale Automation is designed to continuously optimize your Kubernetes environment by autonomously adjusting workloads' CPU and memory to optimal values, minimizing manual intervention. The updated version offers a more flexible approach to automation setup with detailed configuration options on different levels to meet your specific requirements.

The expanded configuration capabilities allow you to define automation with precise granularity, specifying when and how it should operate. With the new Optimization Policies, define whether automation aims to maximize cost savings or provide additional headroom for your mission-critical services. This ensures that automation operates predictably and safely, aligning seamlessly with your business goals and achieving them more effectively.

Additionally, we've introduced the Automation Status indicator, allowing you to quickly check whether a workload is automated and view its status with just a few clicks. This enhancement streamlines data monitoring and management, making it more straightforward to stay informed about your automation status.

Infrafit: Infrastructure Level Optimization

InfraFit is an advanced feature that provides a comprehensive multidimensional view of the entire Kubernetes environment at the infrastructure level. It plays a crucial role in understanding the behavior of different node groups and types, offering insights that enable you to reduce costs by right-sizing your nodes or better utilizing existing ones, ultimately helping you lower your overall node count.

The new level of visibility empowers you to achieve the following:

Gain granular visibility into the cost of your cluster compute, now enhanced by AWS CUR Integration, to align your node selection with your cloud budgeting goals.
Identify where the idle capacity exists with data points that can help you understand and adjust node sizes.
Get a complete multidimensional approach to maximize K8s optimization results and evaluate and ensure the best output of the autoscaling.
Optimize the provisioning algorithms of node autoscaler (for example, Karpenter) by selecting the node types with the best utilization rates.

Trends Updates

Save and Load Report

To help you avoid repetitive actions and streamline your investigation process, you are now able to:
