kuota-calc

Simple utility to calculate the maximum needed resource quota for deployment(s). kuota-calc takes the deployment strategy, replicas and all containers into account, see supported-resources for a list of kubernetes resources which are currently supported by kuota-calc.

Motivation

In shared environments such as kubernetes it is always a good idea to isolate/constrain different workloads to prevent them from infering each other. Kubernetes provides Resource Quotas to limit compute, storage and object resources of namespaces.

Calculating the needed compute resources can be a bit challenging (especially with large and complex deployments) because we must respect certain settings/defaults like the deployment strategy, number of replicas and so on. This is where kuota-calc can help you, it calculates the maximum needed resource quota in order to be able to start a deployment of all resources at the same time by respecting deployment strategies, replicas and so on.

Example

$ cat examples/deployment.yaml | kuota-calc -detailed
Version    Kind           Name     Replicas    Strategy         MaxReplicas    CPU      Memory
apps/v1    Deployment     myapp    10          RollingUpdate    11             5500m    2816Mi
apps/v1    StatefulSet    myapp    3           RollingUpdate    3              3        12Gi

Total
CPU: 8500m
Memory: 15104Mi

Installation

Pre-compiled statically linked binaries are available on the releases page.

kuota-calc can either be used as a kubectl plugin or invoked directly. If you intend to use kuota-calc as a kubectl plugin, simply place the binary anywhere in $PATH named kubectl-kuota_calc with execute permissions. For further information, see the offical documentation on kubectl plugins here.

supported k8s resources

kuota-calc is still a work-in progress, there are plans to support more k8s resources (see #5 for more info).

Currently supported:

  • apps/v1 Deployment
  • apps/v1 StatefulSet
  • apps/v1 DaemonSet
  • batch/v1 CronJob
  • batch/v1 Job
  • v1 Pod
