What's the connection between your performance tests and your monthly cloud bill? As it turns out, a lot. While many teams struggle with ever-growing Kubernetes costs, the solution isn't just about cutting expenses—it's about improving reliability.

In this episode, Ole is joined by Yasmine, COO of CloudBolt, to explore the complex world of Kubernetes rightsizing. Drawing from her experience at Stormforge, Yasmine unpacks the evolution from using performance testing to generate optimization data to the sophisticated machine learning models used today. This conversation goes beyond the tools to address the core challenges every organization faces when trying to tame its cloud-native environment.

Tune in to learn:

• The People Problem: Why there's natural friction between platform teams and developers on resource management, and how to bridge that gap.
• Reliability First: The crucial mindset shift of viewing rightsizing as a tool for reliability and performance, with cost savings as the byproduct.
• The Scale Challenge: Why manual scripts and "setting an average" are bound to fail when managing thousands of dynamic workloads.
• Testing for Confidence: How robust performance and functional testing can validate automated resource changes and give teams the confidence to deploy them.
