Monitor these Kubernetes signals to help rightsize your fleet

Organizations using Kubernetes should focus on optimizing resource usage for both cost efficiency and environmental sustainability. Key indicators to monitor for under-provisioning include high CPU or memory utilization, high disk I/O, network latency, and frequent pod evictions. Over-provisioning can be detected through low resource utilization and high costs without proportional usage. Implementing best practices like regular monitoring, autoscaling, and setting resource quotas can help in maintaining an optimal balance.
