Kompass Workloads tab

On the Workloads tab you can see and manage workload optimization in connected clusters.

The Workloads table shows data about workloads, including:

• Spot management and Headroom reduction: Is the optimization active?

• Spot allocation: How much of the workload is running on Spot instances?

  The lower the number, the more likely this workload will have Spot management recommended.

• CPU utilization: How much CPU is being utilized?

  The lower the number, the more likely this workload will have Headroom reduction recommended.

• Cost and Potential savings: Current cost and how much you could save with Zesty recommendations
