Augmenting Karpenter
with Elastic Machine Pool

Karpenter is a great tool for EKS and a huge improvement on the default Kubernetes Cluster Autoscaler, but autoscalers can only go so far in optimizing your resource usage.  Elastic Machine Pool by Platform9 picks up where ordinary autoscalers leave off – if you’ve struggled to achieve the utilization targets and cost reductions you need in EKS, even after adding Karpenter, you’ll want to attend this webinar to learn how EMP can help.
