groundcover Opens Beta for Automated Kubernetes Resource Tuning

groundcover opened a beta Nov. 3 for software that adjusts CPU and memory requests for Kubernetes workloads using production usage data. The feature, Autonomous Infrastructure, draws on technology from Wand, a Kubernetes resource optimization company groundcover acquired in September. Kubernetes uses resource requests when deciding whether a workload can fit on a node. A workload’s actual CPU or memory use can exceed its request when resources are available. Groundcover’s beta changes requests while leaving Kubernetes limits unchanged. The feature is off by default. Administrators choose which deployments, namespaces or clusters it can manage, then set minimum and maximum request levels.
