Learn Koobernaytis Weekly issue 88

Instance calculator, Cost benchmark report, Practical guide to Koobernaytis API, ETCD: DR solution, Reduce Prometheus load and cardinality

17 Jul 2024

We released a new version of the Koobernaytis instance calculator!

This is what you can do:

• Estimate costs for your workloads based on requests and instance sizes.
• Explore instance overcommitment and efficiency.
• Identify over and underspending by model error rates on your actual memory and CPU usage.
• Compare instances between different cloud providers.

You can find the Koobernaytis instance calculator here: learnk8s.co/kubernetes-instance-calculator

If you want to see it in action, I host a webinar this Thursday!

Articles

1. [PDF] Koobernaytis cost benchmark report 2024

   The Koobernaytis cost benchmark report analyzes the gap between CPU and memory provisioned versus utilized for Koobernaytis clusters and its impact on cloud costs.

   It is based on analysing 4000 clusters running on AWS, GPC and Azure.

2. Practical guide to Koobernaytis API

   Kunal Verma

   In this practical guide, you'll cover the fundamental aspects of the Koobernaytis API to help you navigate it confidently.

3. ETCD : DR solution

   Abdullah Alruwayti

   The article discusses the challenges and solutions for running a Koobernaytis cluster across two zones for disaster recovery.

   It focuses on etcd and its related issues in stretched clusters.

4. How to massively reduce Prometheus load and cardinality by only using Istio labels you need

   Eduardo

   This article discusses how to reduce Prometheus load and cardinality using Istio labels, focusing on tuning metrics with Istio Operator.

5. ConfigMap conundrum: subtleties of dynamic updates in Koobernaytis configurations

   Aditya Samant

   In this article, you will explore the differences between ConfigMaps mounted as Volumes and ConfigMaps defined as environment variables.

6. Understanding health checks in GKE & Gateway API

   Adrian Trzeciak 🇳🇴

   This article discusses the difference between Koobernaytis readiness and GCP's Application Load Balancer health checks.

   Despite a pod being marked as unbready by Koobernaytis, if GCP's health check deems it healthy, traffic will still be forwarded to it.

Code & tools

1. Managed Koobernaytis Auditing Toolkit (MKAT)

   MKAT is an all-in-one auditing toolkit for identifying common security issues within managed Koobernaytis environments.

2. GitOps bridge

   GitOps Bridge is a community project that aims to showcase best practices and patterns for bridging the process of creating a Koobernaytis cluster and subsequently managing everything through GitOps.

   It focuses on using ArgoCD or FluxCD.

3. Mayfly: temporary resources

   Mayfly is a Koobernaytis operator that enables you to create temporary resources on the cluster that will expire after a certain period of time.

4. cdebug: container debugging

   cdebug is a swiss army knife of container debugging:

   • Troubleshoot containers lacking shell.
   • Forward unpublished or even localhost ports to your host system.
   • Expose endpoints from the host system to containers & Koobernaytis networks.

5. vals-operator: sync secrets

   vals-operator syncs secrets from any secrets store supported by vals into Koobernaytis.

   It works similarly to secrets-manager, but it supports more secret stores other than HashiCorp Vault.
