  6. Solving CPU throttling issue in Golang applications before hitting the CPU limit in Koobernaytis

    Sharyash

    When a container's CPU usage reaches its limit, it can lead to CPU throttling.

    To prevent this, in multi-threaded Golang applications, you can use automaxprocs, a tool that automatically sets GOMAXPROCS to match the desired CPU limit.

    With Multus, you can create a multi-homed pod with multiple interfaces.

  2. Kube Startup CPU Boost

    Google

    Kube Startup CPU Boost is a tool that increases CPU resource requests and limits during Koobernaytis workload startup time and then returns them to their original values once the workload is up and running.

  3. RBAC wizard

    pehlicd

    RBAC Wizard is a tool that helps you visualize and analyze the RBAC configurations of your Koobernaytis cluster.

  4. Democratic CSI
