Follow Gazal's journey as he shares the lessons learned in adopting, rolling out and scaling EKS clusters at Target Australia over seven years. You will learn: What is Bottlerocket OS. How Bottlerocket helps with securing your workloads. Karpenter as an alternative to the Cluster Autoscaler. How Karpenter can efficiently schedule and de-provision workloads. Gazal hinted at a 40% reduction in compute capacity when combining Bottlerocket OS and Karpenter (and 30% lower response times).
