About this talk

This talk covers the challenges of managing resource quotas in multi-tenant Kubernetes clusters, particularly the difficulties in tracking resource usage and ensuring teams stay within their budgets. The speakers, Mariam Fahmy from Nirmata and Adam Crowder from AWS, present a solution that leverages the open-source tools Kyverno and the Kube Resource Operator (KRO) to create an automated, self-healing quota management system. They demonstrate how to aggregate resource usage data into a centralized custom resource for effective reporting and policy enforcement, aiming to enhance efficiency and reduce manual errors in resource management.
