Optimizing Kubernetes: From Resource Allocation to Autoscaling

KubeFM Interview

In this interview with KubeFM, Nick Walker, Director of Product at StormForge, discusses:

• How emerging tools like vCluster, NOS, and Prometheus 3.0 address key challenges in development workflows, GPU optimization, and monitoring efficiency.
• The evolution from static resource allocation using Helm defaults to automated rightsizing for improved cluster utilization.
• Modern approaches to cluster autoscaling with Karpenter and KEDA, highlighting how node consolidation, spot instances, and custom metrics can lead to 40% cost savings.
