Kubernetes calculators

Kubernetes capacity planning has two different questions that get conflated: how much CPU and memory a workload needs in total, and how many pods actually fit on one node once the scheduler's constraints and node overhead are counted. These calculators keep the two separate.

Kubernetes Resource Calculator

Total pod CPU and memory requests and limits across replicas, with rollout surge, QoS class, and the nodes needed to schedule them.

Kubernetes Pod Capacity Calculator

Estimate pods per node after kubelet reservations, eviction thresholds, DaemonSets, and EKS ENI limits, with the CPU or memory bottleneck.
