Vertical CPU Scaling: Reduce Cost of Capacity and Increase Reliability

Vertical CPU Scaling: Reduce Cost of Capacity and Increase Reliability

摘要

This blog post describes the implementation of an automated vertical CPU scaling system in which every storage workload running at Uber is allocated the ideal amount of cores. The framework is used today to right-size more than 500,000 Docker containers, and since its inception it has applied a net reduction of allocations of more than 120,000 cores, leading to annual multi-million dollar savings in infrastructure spending.
