Google Cloud GCE Optimization

Densify’s machine learning analyzes workload patterns to determine the optimal size and family for your GCP Compute Engine (GCE) instances, enabling you to:

  • Reduce application performance and stability issues associated with under allocating resources to your instances
  • Increase utilization and lower costs by ensuring that you are not overallocating capacity to your instances
  • Avoid leaving CPU, memory or other resources stranded by picking the wrong instance family

Google Cloud GKE Optimization

Densify’s analytics predictively, precisely and continuously determine the appropriate resource settings for your GCP Kubernetes Engine (GKE) containers allowing you to:

  • Avoid application performance and stability issues
  • Visualize the overall resource health of your entire Kubernetes environment with Histograms
  • Increase node and cluster utilization by avoiding allocating too much CPU and memory to your applications
  • Ensure cluster resource and namespace quotas are constantly aligned with app team requirements
  • Lower your cloud bill by deploying fewer nodes for the same containers

Densify automatically analyzes thousands of containers to determine optimal settings

Densify is the only way to precisely match your apps’ demands to the right cloud supply.​

Visualize Utilization Metrics for Your Google Cloud Infrastructure

Densify provides instant access to visualize CPU, Memory, Network and Disk I/O utilization metrics for your GCE instances, enabling you to:

  • Be confident in implementing Densify’s optimization recommendations by visualizing historical utilization patterns
  • Select the historical period, hourly or daily time granularity, and multiple statistics of interest including the peak, sustained, average and minimum
  • Compare the utilization of different GCE resources using the four available charts or by selecting multiple metrics on a single chart

Densify’s Metrics Viewer lets you explore your GCE instances’ historical utilization data

Enable Collaboration with Product & Application Owners

Densify automatically produces Impact Analysis and Recommendation Reports to share with stakeholders, letting you: 

  • Clearly articulate details for every optimization recommendation, including predicted utilization, effort level, and cost impact
  • Include as an attachment to ITSM change tickets or integrate into business collaboration and approval workflows using Densify’s API 

The Densify Impact Analysis Report for GCP communicates the projected impact of recommended changes to app owners to help with approvals

Integration with Automation API’s and IaC

Integrate With CI/CD Pipelines & Automation Tools

  • Free your teams from manually selecting resources
  • Eliminate errors – use APIs to tie directly into infrastructure as code templates like Terraform or Google Cloud Deployment Manager
  • Ensure Performance by continuously aligning resources with application requirements
