Cluster Resource Forecast
Predicts CPU/memory/pod-count limit breaches 7-30 days ahead, preventing cluster saturation before it happens.
Overview
Cluster Resource Forecast analyzes historical resource usage patterns and predicts when your Kubernetes cluster will hit CPU, memory, or pod count limits. By forecasting 7-30 days in advance, it gives you ample time to plan capacity expansion before saturation impacts your applications.
Wave continuously monitors cluster-level metrics and uses ML models to identify growth trends, seasonal patterns, and anomalies that could lead to resource exhaustion. This proactive approach prevents emergency capacity additions and service disruptions.
Why Better Than Manual Capacity Planning
| Manual Capacity Planning | Wave Cluster Forecast | |
|---|---|---|
| Forecasting Method | Reactive monitoring, manual spreadsheet projections based on recent trends | ML-driven predictive analysis with 7-30 day advance warning |
| Accuracy | Depends on engineer skill level and time availability for analysis | Data-driven predictions based on actual cluster behavior patterns |
| Prevention | Often discovers issues after they occur or during critical moments | Proactive alerts with sufficient lead time for planned expansion |
Key Outcomes & Benefits
Get early warning of capacity issues with 1-4 weeks notice
Eliminate emergency capacity additions and service disruptions
Automate capacity planning analysis and projections
How It Works
1. Continuous Monitoring
WA Metrics Agent collects cluster-level CPU, memory, and pod count usage across all nodes in real-time.
2. Pattern Analysis
ML models analyze historical trends, seasonal patterns, and growth rates to build accurate forecasts.
3. Predictive Alerts
Receive alerts 7-30 days before predicted capacity breaches with recommended expansion plans.
4. Planned Expansion
Use forecast data to schedule capacity additions during maintenance windows, avoiding emergency changes.
