Introducing Kubex: Tackling the Kubernetes Blind Spot
Kubernetes (K8s) has transformed cloud-native infrastructure, enabling enterprises to build scalable, agile environments. Yet, alongside its benefits, Kubernetes introduces a significant blind spot —a rapidly growing part of cloud budgets that has become more and more difficult to optimize. Excess spend is common, and is caused by incorrectly specified container resources, stranding tremendous amounts of resources while at the same time introducing significant operational risk.

How Densify solves the cloud efficiency challenge
The FinOps Foundation states that “For the first time, Reducing waste was the highest key priority for FinOps practitioners across all spending tiers. This may be influenced by macroeconomic trends, with businesses looking for ways to reduce spending without reducing the value they are getting from their cloud investments.”
Kubernetes Autoscaling vs. Optimization: Understanding the Difference
In cloud-native environments, autoscaling and optimization are often confused, yet they serve different purposes. While Kubernetes offers several built-in autoscaling features, these are often mistaken for optimization. In reality, autoscaling is reactive, responding to changing demands, whereas optimization is proactive, focused on configuring workloads efficiently from the start.
Kubernetes: Autoscaling + Karpenter does not equal optimization
In this 25 min session we cover 3 reasons why autoscaling does not equal optimization.
10: Container Strategies and Cloud Migration with Vladimir Remenar of Raiffeisen Bank
On this episode of Densify Talks, we welcome Vladimir Remenar, Director of IT Operations at Raiffeisen Bank in Croatia. Andrew Hillier and Vladimir Remenar dive into container optimization strategies and cloud migration, discussing Raiffeisen’s processes and innovative practices. Raiffeisen Bank was early in the automation of optimization. Vladimir shares why that was the case and what that meant for Raiffeisen. He also discusses Raiffeisen’s migration to cloud journey and shares challenges, benefits, and lessons learned along the way.
Realistic Strategies for FinOps Driven K8s Optimization
Reduce node counts to drive down infrastructure costs (on-prem and in the cloud). Get an overview of common issues that drive excess cost and understanding the 3 core strategies for tackling them. Done right, you can reduce node counts, which in turn impacts infrastructure cost and potentially reduces expensive software licenses such as OpenShift. In this 20-min session we cover the 3 core strategies.
9: Optimizing Cloud and Container Efficiency with Intel Cloud Optimizer by Densify
Andrew Hillier and Ashley Rodrigue from Intel Corporation have a wealth of fantastic information for you on this episode of Densify Talks! They start off by sharing the benefits of the connection and partnership between Intel and Densify, highlighting how it benefits not only the two companies but also their customers. Ashley discusses how Intel Cloud Optimizer is revolutionizing cloud efficiency and tackling container-related inefficiencies. She also provides a closer look at Intel's cutting-edge 5th Gen Intel Xeon Processors and their performance improvements.
3 Ways to Optimize your Kubernetes Clusters with Resource Control
We cover some real world cases and provide valuable insights into how resources might be the source of future angst that you could avoid. With so many moving parts and so many settings it is nearly impossible to avoid resourcing issues and unnecessary cost in container environments.
