Pepperdata Capacity Optimizer

Pepperdata Capacity Optimizer

Pepperdata’s real-time cloud cost optimization is the only solution that addresses in-application waste automatically.

  • Removes the need for manual tuning, applying recommendations, or changing application code
  • Eliminates the waste inside the application that other optimizations can’t
  • Frees engineers from tedious optimization tasks and empowers them to focus on innovation

Most cloud cost optimization solutions focus only on improving infrastructure price/performance. Pepperdata Capacity Optimizer immediately and automatically reduces the often unnoticed waste inside the Spark application itself.

Pepperdata Capacity Optimizer immediately and automatically reduces the often unnoticed waste inside the Spark application itself that can significantly inflate your costs.

Observability and Monitoring
Managed Autoscaling
Instance Rightsizing
Manual Application Tuning
Spark Dynamic Allocation

What it does

  • Identifies and quantifies the waste in Spark environments
  • Provides tuning recommendations for developers to implement manually

What it doesn’t do

  • Automatically eliminate waste

What Pepperdata Capacity Optimizer does

  • Capacity Optimizer observes your applications to identify waste and automatically reduces it
  • Continuously and autonomously tunes Spark application clusters in real time
  • Frees developers to spend time on higher value tasks versus tediously applying recommendations

 

What it does

  • Prevents instances from running before or after resources are requested

What it doesn’t do

  • Prevent applications from wasting requested resources at runtime
  • Doesn’t eliminate waste inside applications

What Pepperdata Capacity Optimizer does

  • Reduces instance hours and costs by reacting to underutilized resources
  • Optimizes the autoscaler so that it launches new nodes only when running nodes are fully utilized

What it does

  • Matches instance resources to application requirements
  • Prevents the deployment of resources that can’t be scheduled
  • Karpenter for Kubernetes can automatically select instances based on your unique workload profiles

What it doesn’t do

  • Prevent inefficient applications from driving waste—even with optimal instance types

What Pepperdata Capacity Optimizer does

  • Solves the problem of inefficient applications after you’ve rightsized
  • Automatically eliminates waste inside the application in real-time

What it does

  • Developers do their best to match resource allocations to the peak of the utilization curve
  • Prevent the application from failing due to too few resources

What it doesn’t do

  • Can’t match resource requests in real time to actual utilization of dynamic workloads
  • Doesn’t eliminate the waste that occurs when usage is not at peak (which is most of the time)

What Pepperdata Capacity Optimizer does

  • Capacity Optimizer detects wasted capacity in each node in real time
  • Automatically increases the virtual capacity of underutilized nodes
  • Helps run more jobs without increased spend

 

What it does

  • Acts like an autoscaler within Spark
  • Adds more tasks when needed and kills idle ones—improving resource utilization

What it doesn’t do

  • Spark Dynamic Allocation (SDA) doesn’t prevent low resource utilization inside the Spark application itself
  • Can lead to 30 percent waste or more

What Pepperdata Capacity Optimizer does

  • Capacity Optimizer informs the scheduler about waste inside the Spark application itself
  • Automatically provisions the correct resources for applications to run for peak optimization
