EKS Optimization Recommendations - prod ¶
Executive Summary ¶
Based on CloudWatch ContainerInsights metrics, the prod cluster shows significant over-provisioning with average CPU utilization around 8.1%.
Priority 1: Node Consolidation (HIGH IMPACT) ¶
Finding: Nodes running at 8.1% average CPU utilization.
- Total cluster P99 CPU load: 220.7%
- Redistributed to 4 nodes: 55.2% per node
- Headroom at 4 nodes: 44.8%
Priority 2: Critical Service Hardening ¶
Issue: Centrifugo has no resource requests (BestEffort QoS).
Priority 3: Spot Instance Integration ¶
After node consolidation, consider Spot for stateless workloads.
Cost Impact ¶
| Action | Monthly Savings | Effort | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reduce to 4 nodes | ~$560 | Low | Low |
| Spot for stateless | ~$200-300 | Medium | Medium |
| Total Potential | $760-860 |
