Article summary

Kompass compute solutions are powered by proprietary HiberScale technology that achieves node scaleup much faster than the autoscaler can launch a new node, enabling you to reduce headroom overallocation and On-Demand costs.

The following video shows how HiberScale technology reduces cost in a comparative stress test:

HiberScale creates hibernated, On-Demand VMs:

  • in node pools linked to the protected workload

  • of multiple instance types (the same types that are configured in the node pools associated with the protected workload)

  • across multiple zones

By maintaining constantly updated container images on these VM volumes, the VMs can be instantly resumed during demand spikes, eliminating the typical creation, boot, and other overhead delays.

Through constant monitoring of cluster utilization patterns and historical demand, together with automatic image updates, the pool of hibernated nodes is continuously optimized and available.

HiberScale integrates seamlessly with your Karpenter autoscaler for launching and draining nodes.
