1. Karpenter & Spot Instance Orchestration
Rather than using static node pools, we leverage Karpenter to dynamically provision exact instance types based on active pod requirements, maximizing utilization of low-cost spot compute.
Graceful Spot Termination Handling: Automated pre-emption handlers shift stateless workloads seamlessly before spot instances expire.
Cold Storage Tiering: Automated S3/GCS lifecycle policies move archived audit logs and backups to Glacier/Archive tiers, slashing storage costs by 80%.
