Goldilocks is a Kubernetes utility that helps identify a starting point for resource requests and limits by creating a Vertical Pod Autoscaler (VPA) in recommendation mode for each workload in a namespace. It then presents the VPA recommendations in a dashboard so teams can right-size their deployments' CPU and memory settings.
Use cases
- right-size kubernetes pod resource requests and limits
- get vpa recommendations for my deployments
- reduce kubernetes cluster costs by avoiding over-provisioning
- dashboard to view cpu and memory recommendations per namespace
- find starting point for container resource settings
- compare memory and cpu settings against actual usage
When to choose
- you run workloads on Kubernetes and want data-driven resource request/limit suggestions
- you already have or can install the Kubernetes Vertical Pod Autoscaler in recommendation mode
- you want a simple visual dashboard for rightsizing across namespaces
When to avoid
- you are not running Kubernetes
- you need automated enforcement of resource settings rather than recommendations
- you cannot deploy the VPA controller in your cluster
