We released a new ebook: “Right-Sizing GPUs in Kubernetes”!

Gulcan and I have been busy over the past months dissecting how to make sense of GPU monitoring and metrics.

The eBook explores in detail how:

• Kubernetes, nvidia-smi, and workload each have different views of GPU utilization.

• A 54% GPU Util is a misleading signal for GPU yield.

• Collecting the right metrics and making sense of them.

• GPU waste cascades into CPU and memory costs.

We also included several flowcharts to help you diagnose utilization and yield.

Kubex sponsored the book, and you can grab your free copy here.

Hi, Dan here!

We’re running a 3-part free series with vCluster on Kubernetes multitenancy. Last year I covered the multitenancy spectrum — namespaces, virtual clusters, dedicated control planes, and how to choose between them.

This year I’m doubling down and adding AI agent sandboxing to the mix: what happens when the tenant isn’t a team but a machine acting on its own?
