kube-capacity: Include utilization.
$ kube-capacity -u
try on your machine

The command "kube-capacity -u" is used to retrieve the resource capacity information of a Kubernetes cluster.

Here's a breakdown of the command and its options:

  • "kube-capacity" is the name of the utility or command-line tool. It is typically used to assess the capacity of a Kubernetes cluster.
  • "-u" is an option that stands for "unallocated capacity". By using this option, the command will display the unallocated or available resource capacity of the cluster.

When you run the "kube-capacity -u" command, it will access the Kubernetes API to gather information about the resources available in the cluster. It collects data about CPU, memory, and storage capacity, along with their allocation and utilization. The command will then calculate and display the unallocated or available capacity of the cluster for each resource type, providing users with valuable insights into the resource utilization and potential for additional workload deployments.
