What it does

EKS cost optimization means cutting EKS Kubernetes spend across nodes, pods, and purchasing without hurting reliability, using rightsizing, smart node provisioning, spot, and commitments. On EKS, clusters average about 5% GPU utilization, so the headroom is large. EKS cost optimization is the process of reducing the cost of running Kubernetes workloads on Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) while meeting performance and availability requirements. It involves matching pod resources and node capacity to actual demand, choosing cost-effective EC2 instances and purchasing options, and eliminating unused capacity and avoidable cluster fees.

    Hey HN: Kaveh here, the founder of https://www.usage.ai/ We launched on Hacker News for the first time early last year, and we've made a lot of progress since then. We've saved tens of millions of dollars for companies, and we are even more excited to announce the launch of a new product: insured reservations for RDS! We worked closely with AWS on this feature and are excited to finally make it generally available. We help companies drive down AWS EC2 & RDS spend. Why? Because the way it's done now is a pain.
