Only 13% of Provisioned CPUs End Up Being Used

The 2024 Kubernetes Cost Benchmark Report provides insights from the analysis of 4,000 unoptimized clusters between January and December 2023. Key findings include low CPU and memory utilization rates across various cluster sizes, with only 13% of provisioned CPUs being used in clusters with 50 or more CPUs. AWS and Azure exhibited identical utilization rates, while Google Cloud slightly outperformed its counterparts. The report highlights the importance of understanding financial implications during cloud migrations and emphasizes the benefits of using advanced machine learning algorithms for cluster analysis and optimization.
