· via AWS
Summary: Resource requests are guesses that never get revised, and clusters pay for the padding forever. This walkthrough builds the loop that fixes it: metrics feed recommendations, which arrive as reviewed GitOps pull requests with a full audit trail. Mind the metrics window, since recommendations from a quiet week will starve the busy one.
Who should read it: EKS operators with overprovisioned clusters, and FinOps-minded platform folks who want savings with review gates.
