Karpenter can consolidate nodes and reduce cloud costs. But without Pod Disruption Budgets, those savings can expose workloads to avoidable downtime.
Ahmad Asmar from Zencity explains how they use Kyverno to generate PDBs automatically instead of relying on every developer to remember the required configuration.
You will learn:
- Why Karpenter consolidation and Spot instances make PDB coverage critical
- How Kyverno detects existing PDBs through workload labels
- Why percentage-based budgets work better for scaling workloads
- How ClusterRole aggregation extends Kyverno without modifying its Helm chart
