Hi Emre,

The average Kubernetes cluster runs at around 8% CPU utilization. Requests get padded at launch, the autoscaler scales to those requests, and the cloud bill follows.

On Thursday, October 29 at 1PM ET, Bret Fisher and Steve Fraser from Cast AI will talk through how teams fix this in production:

- Setting CPU and memory requests from real usage
- Packing pods onto fewer nodes and running Spot without the 3am pages
- Moving stateful workloads so half-empty nodes can be removed
- Doing all of it on top of Karpenter or Cluster Autoscaler

Bring your cluster questions. We’ll leave plenty of time for Q&A.

🎁 Everyone who registers is entered into the raffle for AirPods Pro 3 and exclusive Cast AI swag.
