Kubernetes utilization data analysis

Beta

The Kubernetes Lens agent transmits utilization data into the DoiT platform, which allows you to conduct custom analysis using Cloud Analytics reports.

Required permission​

  • Cloud Analytics User

Metrics and dimensions​

Below are the metrics and dimensions available when the report data source is Kubernetes Utilization.

Extended metrics​

  • Average CPU usage: The average CPU resources consumed by a container.

  • CPU request: The garanteed amount of CPU resources to be allocated to a container. The CPU resource is measured in CPU units.

  • CPU limit: The maximum amount of CPU resources assigned to a container. Containers cannot use more CPU than the configured limit.

  • Average memory usage: The average memory resources consumed by a container.

  • Memory request: The garanteed amount of memory to be allocated to a container.

  • Memory limit: The maximum amount of memory that a container is allowed to consume.

  • Average GPU usage: The average GPU processing power consumed by a container.

  • GPU request: The guaranteed number of GPUs to be allocated to a container. See Schedule GPUs.

  • GPU limit: The maximum number of GPUs that a container is allowed to consume.

Dimensions​

The following dimensions are available for Kubernetes Utilization data:

  • Allocation rule: The Allocation rule that defines how to distribute the data collected for a particular metric.

  • Cluster name: The cluster name as defined in your cloud environment.

  • Cluster project ID: The ID of the AWS account or Google Cloud project to which the cluster belongs. See Popular dimensions: Project/Account ID.

  • Cluster region: The region that the cluster was created in.

  • Container name: The name of the container.

  • Namespace: The namespace of the workload.

  • Workload name: The name of the workload.

  • Workload type: The type of the workload, for example, Pod, Deployment, DaemonSet, Jobs.

Example reports​

Container utilization​

The example report below shows the average container CPU usage in the last 7 days. It helps you pinpoint underutilized or overutilized containers and understand utilization in the context of the workload and environment.

Workload memory utilization​

The example report below shows the average workload memory usage in the last 7 days. It helps you identify workloads with high or low memory usage and understand memory utilization patterns across workload types and namespaces.
