⎈ Instance calculator, Cost benchmark report, Practical guide to Kubernetes API, ETCD: DR solution, Reduce Prometheus load and cardinality

We released a new version of the Kubernetes instance calculator!

This is what you can do:

• Estimate costs for your workloads based on requests and instance sizes.

• Explore instance overcommitment and efficiency.

• Identify over and underspending by model error rates on your actual memory and CPU usage.

• Compare instances between different cloud providers.

You can find the Kubernetes instance calculator here: learnk8s.io/kubernetes-instance-calculator

If you want to see it in action, I host a webinar this Thursday!
