# Deploy Kubernetes resource optimization solutions

This section describes how to deploy Kubernetes resource optimization solutions in your K8s environment.

To deploy the PV Autoscaling solution, see [Deploy PV autoscaling](/v1/docs/deploy-storage-autoscaling).

Select the tab appropriate to your environment.

**Amazon EKS**

#### Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure that your AWS account is onboarded with Zesty:

- To onboard using the Zesty platform UI, see [Onboard an AWS account with Zesty](/v1/docs/integrate-aws-account-with-zesty).
- To onboard using Terraform, see [Onboard an AWS Linked account for Kompass with Terraform](/v1/docs/integrate-an-aws-account-for-kompass-with-terraform) You can also use Terraform to install the Insights agent.

Deploying Kubernetes resource optimization is a 2-step process:

1. **Enable visibility - install the Insights agent**

The Insights agent gathers cluster data and shows K8s cluster and workload insights: costs, scaling performance, workload usage, and pattern history.

When enough data is gathered (between 1 - 7 days), Kubernetes resource optimization begins to make recommendations for your environment.

The Insights agent must be installed before other solution components are installed. **To install the Insights agent in the cluster**, see [Install the Insights agent - AWS EKS](/v1/docs/install-the-insights-agent-aws-eks).
2. **Install solution components:**
  - **For Fast scaling, install the Compute agent**.

The Compute agent enables HiberScale, the power behind Fast scaling protection. For more information, see [HiberScale technology](/v1/docs/hiberscale-technology).

For maximum savings per cluster, the Compute agent is installed together with Zesty Professional services.

To schedule the installation, contact [Customer Support](https://zesty.co/contact-us/?support).

To see how the Compute agent is installed on a cluster, see [Install the Compute agent with Terraform](/v1/docs/install-the-compute-agent-with-terraform).
  - **For Pod rightsizing, enable Pod rightsizing**.

When Pod rightsizing is enabled, you can apply the solution to workloads. To enable Pod rightsizing, see [Enable Pod rightsizing](/v1/docs/enable-pod-rightsizing).

The components must be installed or enabled in each cluster that you want to optimize.

**Azure AKS**

Deploying Kompass is a 2-step process:

1. **Enable visibility - install the Insights agent**

The Insights agent gathers cluster data and shows K8s cluster and workload insights: costs, scaling performance, workload usage, and pattern history.

When enough data is gathered (between 1 - 7 days), Kubernetes resource optimization begins to make recommendations for your environment.

The Insights agent must be installed before other solution components are installed. **To install the Insights agent in the cluster**, see [Install the Insights agent - Azure AKS](/v1/docs/install-the-insights-agent-azure-aks)
2. **Install solution components:**
  - **For Pod rightsizing, enable Pod rightsizing**.

When Pod rightsizing is enabled, you can apply the solution to workloads. To enable Pod rightsizing, see [Enable Pod rightsizing](/v1/docs/enable-pod-rightsizing).

These components must be installed or enabled in each cluster that you want to optimize.
