Reduce Your Cloud Spend on Kubernetes with Pepperdata Capacity Optimizer

Cost control is frequently misunderstood as cost cutting when it is a business-focused discipline for reducing spend and maximizing business value. As forward-looking data and analytics leaders investigate cost control as a discipline, drive value creation and equip organizations for a digital future, they are keen to optimize costs and maximize the business value of their data investments, but this can result in needless limitation of resources, failure to exploit digital business opportunities, and weakening of competitive advantage. 
Join Pepperdata Product Manager Heidi Carson for a webinar addressing the discipline and best practices of cost optimization and why cloud data control and optimization are essential to your organization’s digital future. Learn some best practices and techniques to increase cost efficiency and maximize business value.

Why Cost Control is Essential for Your Modern Data Stack

A modern platform helps you deliver actionable insights to your organization — insights that were previously unavailable or weren’t delivered in a timely manner. These insights help you to overcome cost and resource inefficiencies by reducing data complexity and enabling powerful self-service capabilities.

Moving to a modern platform can also provide observability and autonomous optimization, and helps your organization move from reactive to proactive. Join Joel Stewart, VP of Customer Success at Pepperdata for this session as he uses real-world use cases and learn the following:

-- Key success factors to ensure a successful migration
-- The key players in data stack modernization
-- Thinking beyond traditional needs to consider architecture trends like self-service analytics that empower line-of-business professionals to perform queries and generate reports on their own
-- Automation, optimization, new techniques, and tools

Automatically Optimize Kubernetes and Improve Container Visibility

Spark on Kubernetes is growing in popularity due to improved isolation, better resource sharing, and the ability to leverage homogeneous and cloud-native infrastructure for the entire stack. However, running Spark on Kubernetes in a stable, performant, cost-efficient, and secure manner still presents complex challenges.
In this webinar, Alex Pierce discusses the key performance metrics to focus on when monitoring and optimizing Spark performance on Kubernetes.

Topics include:

- Core concepts and setup of Spark on Kubernetes
- Spark on Kubernetes architecture
- Monitoring Spark on Kubernetes best practices
- Why Prometheus alone is not enough for Kubernetes monitoring
- Observability and optimization
- Configuration tips for performance and efficient resource sharing
- End-to-end visibility for Spark on Kubernetes

Monitoring Spark on Kubernetes: Key Performance Metrics

Managing Kubernetes cloud costs and recapturing resource waste is challenging for even the most experienced ITOps teams. The promise of autoscaling is that workloads receive exactly the cloud computational resources they require at any given time, and you only pay for the server resources you need, when you need them. However, most autoscaling features aren’t granular enough to address today’s variable workload and application needs.  Without granular and automatic control for your cloud instance resources, you are likely over paying for your Kubernetes workloads.  
 
All the cloud providers provide autoscaling for Kubernetes, but with different approaches.
 
Join Pepperdata Field Alex Pierce for this discussion about operational challenges associated with maintaining optimal big data performance in the cloud with a focus on Kubernetes  autoscaling best practices.

Recapture Cloud Waste to Reduce Cloud Costs – Best Practices

Spark on Kubernetes is growing in popularity due to improved isolation, better resource sharing, and the ability to leverage homogeneous and cloud-native infrastructure for the entire stack. However, running Spark on Kubernetes in a stable, performant, cost-efficient, and secure manner still presents complex challenges.
In this webinar, Alex Pierce discusses the key performance metrics to focus on when monitoring and optimizing Spark performance on Kubernetes.

Topics include:

- Automation and observability for lowering costs and improving performance

Beyond Observability:  Optimize Big Data Resources  for Better Business Results

Complex applications running on Kubernetes containers scale rapidly, but monitoring, managing, and optimizing Kubernetes performance in a sprawling production environment also brings unique monitoring challenges and visibility gaps. These challenges make it hard to detect and troubleshoot Kubernetes issues while managing performance.

Join this discussion of best practices for monitoring and improving Kubernetes visibility and performance. You’ll learn how to:

- Overcome the challenges of Kubernetes performance management.
- Meet the demands of both complex and new microservices apps while maintaining legacy apps.

- Utilize five best practices to improve Kubernetes performance and reduce your overall spend.

Monitor and Automatically Improve Kubernetes Performance: Best Practices

The cloud offers organizations unlimited scalability and lower IT costs by only charging for the resources you use.  But the truth about cloud pricing is that cloud customers typically pay for allocated resources whether they use them or not. 
Cloud cost optimization is the process of reducing your overall cloud spend by identifying mismanaged resources, eliminating waste, and right-sizing computing services to scale. Gartner recently estimated that 70% of cloud overspending can be attributed to companies that do not have a defined plan for cloud cost management. Fortunately, there are many best practices for cloud cost optimization. Join Pepperdata Engineer Chaitanya Patel to discuss the key best practices for cloud cost management and optimization.
