Kubernetes is now the industry standard for orchestrating containerized workloads, but efficient resource management remains a challenge for many organizations. It’s important to get right though! Over-provisioning leads to wasted cloud spend, while under-provisioning risks instability, throttling, or outages. When we first open-sourced Goldilocks in October 2019, our goal was to offer a dashboard utility to help you identify a baseline for setting Kubernetes resource requests and limits. Since then, we continue to use it in our Managed Kubernetes-as-a-Service offering and it’s built into our Fairwinds Insights software. Because it’s open source, everyone else has the opportunity to use it to get resource requests and limits just right, and they do! People regularly download and use Goldilocks because it fills a common need in the Kubernetes community.
