The command "kube-capacity" is a tool used to analyze and report capacity information about Kubernetes clusters. It provides insights into the available resources (CPU, memory, storage) in the cluster and helps administrators make data-driven decisions about resource allocation and capacity planning.
When executed, "kube-capacity" collects information about the nodes, namespaces, pods, and their resource consumption within the cluster. It calculates the total available capacity of each resource type (CPU, memory, storage) and compares it with the actual resource usage. It then generates a detailed report and visualizations, providing a comprehensive overview of the cluster's capacity and utilization.
This command is beneficial for cluster administrators to identify bottlenecks, optimize resource allocation, and ensure the efficient utilization of resources. It can be used to answer questions like how many more pods can be deployed, identify nodes with excess or limited capacity, and forecast future resource requirements.
