Ksctl v2.5 Smart Region and Instance Selection
🚀 Ksctl v2.5: Smart selection for Region and InstanceType
We are thrilled to announce the release of Ksctl v2.5! This update introduces Smart Card Selection, an intelligent feature that helps you select the best region and instance type for your Kubernetes clusters based on your requirements.
🌟 What’s New in Ksctl v2.5?
📌 Region Selection Sorted based on Emission Optimization
Ksctl can help you choose the most efficient region based on emission metrics, ensuring that your Kubernetes clusters are not only cost-effective but also environmentally friendly.
- 🌱 Minimizes carbon footprint by prioritizing regions with lower emissions, contributing to a greener environment.
- 🚀 Automatically ranks regions using advanced emission metrics, including:
- Direct Carbon Intensity: (Lower is better) Measures the carbon emissions from energy production.
- LCA 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 intelligent selection ensures your Kubernetes clusters are deployed in regions that align with both cost-efficiency and sustainability goals.

📌 Instance Type Selection Sorted based on Cost and Embodied Emissions Optimization
Ksctl can help you choose the most efficient instance type based on cost and embodied emissions, ensuring that your Kubernetes clusters are not only cost-effective but also environmentally friendly.
- 💰 Cost Optimization: Dynamically adapts to pricing changes across instance types, reducing infrastructure costs.
- 🌱 Sustainability Focus: Prioritizes instance types with lower embodied emissions, minimizing your carbon footprint. Automatically ranks instance types using advanced metrics, including:
- Embodied Emissions: (Lower is better) Evaluates the environmental impact of manufacturing and deploying the instance type.
This ensures your Kubernetes clusters are optimized for both cost-efficiency and environmental sustainability.
