External GKE cluster optimization
by Vito_CGKE cluster optimization. Customers running unshielded GKE clusters can now onboard them into CAST AI and benefit from all cost optimization policies.
Cluster metrics endpoint – we have released the first version of the metrics endpoint that provides visibility into the CAST AI-captured metrics. The initial description of metrics and setup guide can be found in Github. We will continue expanding the list of exposed metrics, so stay tuned.
Implemented Node Root Volume Policy policy that allows the configuration of root volume size based on the CPU count. This way nodes with a high CPU count can have a larger root disk allocated upon node creation.
We have enhanced the Spot policy for EKS and kOps, so customers can instruct CAST AI to provision the least interrupted spot instances, most cost-effective ones, or simply leave the default – balanced approach. We also support an ability to override this cluster-wide policy on the deployment level.
CAST AI agent v.0.20.0 was released – the agent now supports auto-discovery of GKE clusters, users are no longer required to enter any cluster details manually.
Cluster headroom and Node constraints policies are now separated and can be used simultaneously.
We made it easier for users to set correct node CPU and Memory constraints that adhere to supported ratios.
Bug fixes and small interface improvements.
