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. and Headroom reduction.
Compute optimization solutions are powered by the proprietary HiberScale technology that enables launching nodes in K8s environments much quicker than autoscalers can.
Before you can use these solutions, Kompass needs to be enabled.
Supported environments and limitations
Compute optimization solutions support the following K8s environments:
Environment: AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), v1.28 or later
Resource provisioning:
Karpenter, v1.0 or later
Cluster Autoscaler, v1.0 or later
Spot management is supported only on clusters where Karpenter is enabled.
Cluster: IAM role for Service Accounts (IRSA)
Autoscaling: Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA)
Compute solutions do not currently support:
node pools that have only GPU instances configured
node pools that have a Bottlerocket image configured
