Ksctl v2.4 Smarter Optimization with Dynamic Region Switching
🚀 Ksctl v2.4: Smarter Cost & Emission Optimization for Dynamic Region Switching
We are thrilled to announce the release of Ksctl v2.4! This update introduces Dynamic Region Switching, an intelligent cost and emission optimization feature that helps you minimize infrastructure expenses by selecting the most efficient region for your Kubernetes clusters—without changing your instance type.
🌟 What’s New in Ksctl v2.4?
📌 Dynamic Region Switching for Cost & Emission Optimization
Ksctl can now switch regions to optimize costs while maintaining the same instance type. This feature ensures that your clusters run in both the most cost-effective and least emission region without manual intervention.
- 🚀 Automatic Region Optimization: Ksctl intelligently identifies and switches to the most cost-effective and environmentally friendly regions.
- 🛠️ Flexible Region Control: Prefer to stay in your current region? You can opt to keep your cluster where it is.
- 💰 Cost Savings: Dynamically adapts to pricing changes across regions, reducing your infrastructure expenses.
- 🌱 Eco-Friendly Operations: Minimizes carbon footprint by selecting regions based on:
- Direct Carbon Intensity: (Lower is better) Measures the carbon emissions from energy production.
- LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) Carbon Intensity: (Lower is better) Evaluates the lifecycle carbon emissions of energy sources.
- Renewable Power Percentage: (Higher is better) Highlights regions with higher renewable energy usage.
- Low CO₂ Power Percentage: (Higher is better) Focuses on regions with a lower share of carbon-intensive power.
This feature ensures you get maximum cost efficiency and minimum emissions while maintaining performance and reliability.
This feature works with the
ksctl cluster createcommand.
