KUBERNETES OPTIMIZATION WORKSHOP
Simplified and Cost-Efficient GKE Node Management with NAP
Thursday, May 22, 2025, 12:00pm EST
Struggling with the complexity and cost of managing diverse node pools in GKE?
While the standard Cluster Autoscaler helps, it often requires significant manual setup and tuning of node pools to efficiently handle varied workload demands. This can lead to overprovisioning, underutilization, and unnecessary cloud spend.
Join our workshop to explore a more streamlined and cost-effective approach using GKE's native Node Auto-Provisioning (NAP) feature, enhanced by Compute Classes. Learn how NAP dynamically creates and scales node pools for you, choosing the right machine types based on real-time workload needs, and using Compute Classes to further optimize performance and cost.
And of course, Kubernetes optimization starts with pod right-sizing. In the workshop, we’ll showcase our responsible workload optimization approach and show how you can use PerfectScale in order to get the most out of GKE with NAP.
