Most websites use only a fraction of the CPU and memory assigned to them — yet businesses continue paying full price for underutilized servers. Kubernetes Overcommit changes that by letting you safely run more sites on the same hardware using intelligent request/limit guarantees and burstable workloads.

In this episode, we break down how Overcommit works, why it’s statistically safe, and how DevPanel implements it with noise isolation, autoscaling, and per-cluster controls. You’ll also learn how agencies and freelancers can dramatically improve margins, cut hosting costs by thousands per year, and align spending with real usage.

What You’ll Learn

• Why 70–90% of your server resources sit idle
• What Kubernetes “requests” and “limits” really mean
• How burstable workloads allow safe Overcommit
• Real-world density gains: 40 → 80 → 120 sites
• How this directly translates into profit for agencies
• Why DevPanel now supports Overcommit (and why it didn’t before)
• The safe rollout model: autoscaling, isolation, optional per cluster
• How to choose between 1×, 2×, and 3× Overcommit
