Compute optimization

Prev Next

This section describes the Kompass compute optimization solutions:

  • Spot management: Cut costs by running workloads on Spot instances with no risk of downtime or management headaches, while still delivering on your SLA.

    Kompass can protect all your Spot instances and can configure your environment to get the most out of using Spot.

  • Headroom reduction: Cut costs by reducing overallocation and ensuring application availability, while still delivering on your SLA.

Compute optimization solutions are powered by the proprietary HiberScale technology that enables launching nodes in K8s environments much quicker than autoscalers can.

Supported environments and limitations

Headroom reduction and Spot management solutions support these environments:

Supported

Environment

AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), v1.28 or later

Resource provisioning

  • Karpenter, v1.0 or later

    Spot management is supported only on clusters where Karpenter is enabled.

  • Cluster Autoscaler, v1.0 or later

Cluster

IAM role for Service Accounts (IRSA)

Autoscaling

HPA, KEDA

Headroom reduction and Spot management cannot be activated on:

  • workloads linked to node pools that have only GPU instances configured

  • workloads linked to node pools that have a Bottlerocket image configured
