Kubernetes Cost Control: Or, How I Learned How Resource Allocation Works

It’s 2025 - you’re now basically a button click away from running a Kubernetes cluster, which also means you’re a button click away from poorly performing applications that have a hefty price tag. As easy as it can be to create a cluster, managing it can be difficult, and getting resources properly applied to your apps can be close to black magic.

Well, we’ve read the tomes and can help decrypt this for you.

Datadog and NoBS will walk you through how the internals of Kubernetes allocation and performance works, how it impacts your bills, and how to determine right sizing your workloads.
