OptiPod Documentation
GitOps-safe by design with policy-driven safety
Why OptiPod?
Section titled “Why OptiPod?”OptiPod is a Kubernetes operator that helps you optimize resource requests and limits for your workloads. Unlike traditional VPA (Vertical Pod Autoscaler), OptiPod is designed to be GitOps-safe and provides explainable recommendations.
Policy-Driven
Fine-grained control through OptimizationPolicy CRDs. You decide what gets optimized and how.
Explainable
Clear recommendations with impact estimation. Understand why changes are suggested.
Safe by Default
Conservative defaults, configurable bounds, and change-rate limits protect your workloads. Note: memory decreases apply in full — OptiPod has no memory-decrease guard, so set resourceBounds and the safety factor to the reductions you are comfortable with.
