System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

AKS cost optimization knowledge to guide migration planning, architecture decisions, and post-migration cost management, enabling cost-aware design and operation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Spot Node Pools: leverage Azure Spot VMs for non-critical workloads to reduce compute costs while managing eviction risk.
  • Reserved Instances & Savings Plans: apply RI and savings plan strategies to maximize long-term discount with baseline predictability.
  • VM SKU Right-Sizing: tailor VM SKUs to workload profiles to balance performance and cost.
  • Cluster Autoscaler Tuning: configure scale settings and policies to minimize waste and maintain SLA.
  • Node Autoprovision (NAP / Karpenter): dynamic node provisioning to optimize resource utilization and cost.
  • Cost Monitoring & Allocation: implement tagging, budgeting, and reporting to enable chargeback and spend control.

Quick Start

Apply the AKS cost optimization guidance to your existing AKS cluster design to generate a cost-reduction plan.
