view-utilization

`view-utilization` kubectl plugin that shows cluster resource utilization. It is written in
BASH/awk and uses kubectl tool to gather information. You can use it to
estimate cluster capacity and see at a glance overprovisioned resoures
with this simple command **`kubectl view-utilization`**.

## Installation

### krew (kubectl plugin manager)

1. [Install krew](https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/krew)
plugin manager for kubectl.
1. Run `kubectl krew install view-utilization`.
1. Update plugin with `kubectl krew upgrade view-utilization`

### macOS

On macOS, plugin can be installed via [Homebrew](https://brew.sh):

```shell
brew tap etopeter/tap
brew install kubectl-view-utilization
```

### Install with Curl

For Kubernetes 1.12 or newer:

```shell
# Get latest tag
VIEW_UTILIZATION_PATH=/usr/local/bin
VIEW_UTILIZATION_TAG=$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/etopeter/kubectl-view-utilization/releases/latest | grep "tag_name"| sed -E 's/.*"([^"]+)".*/\1/')

# Download and unpack plugin
curl -sL "https://github.com/etopeter/kubectl-view-utilization/releases/download/${VIEW_UTILIZATION_TAG}/kubectl-view-utilization-${VIEW_UTILIZATION_TAG}.tar.gz" |tar xzvf - -C $VIEW_UTILIZATION_PATH

# Rename file if you want to use kubectl view-utilization or leave it if you want to invoke it with kubectl view utilization (with space between). Underscore between words allows kubernetes plugin to have hyphen between words.
mv $VIEW_UTILIZATION_PATH/kubectl-view-utilization $VIEW_UTILIZATION_PATH/kubectl-view_utilization

# Change permission to allow execution
chmod +x $VIEW_UTILIZATION_PATH/kubectl-view_utilization

# Check if plugin is detected
kubectl plugin list
```

### Dependencies

While we try to be as minimalistic as possible the only dependency is [Awk](https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/). While GNU Awk (gawk) is recommended, `mawk` is also supported.

- kubectl
- bash
- awk (gawk, mawk)

## Usage

This plugin should be invoked with kubectl command, and will appear as
subcommand. It will use the existing context configured in `$KUBECONFIG` file.
You can override context with `--context` parameter.

```shell
kubectl view-utilization
Resource Requests %Requests Limits %Limits Allocatable Schedulable Free
CPU 43475 81 70731 132 53200 9725 0
Memory 94371840000 42 147184418816 66 222828834816 128456994816 75644416000
```

| Column | Short | Description |
|-------------|-------|-------------|
| Requests | Req | Calculated total pod requests across all namespaces |
| %Requests | %R | Percentage of total requests against allocatable requests |
| Limits | Lim | Calculated total pod limits across all namespaces |
| %Limits | %L | Percentage of total limits against allocatable limits |
| Allocatable | Alloc | Available allocatable resources |
| Schedulable | Sched | Resources that can be used to schedule pods; Available for pod requests (allocatable - requests) |
| Free | Free | Resources that are outside all requests or limits |

Example usage:

Human readable format `-h`

```shell
kubectl view-utilization -h
Resource Req %R Lim %L Alloc Sched Free
CPU 43 71% 71 117% 60 17 0
Memory 88G 37% 138G 58% 237G 149G 99G
```

Check utilization for specific namespace `-n`

```shell
kubectl view-utilization -h -n kube-system
Resource Req %R Lim %L Alloc Sched Free
CPU 3.7 6% 4.3 7% 60 57 56
Memory 5.4G 2% 7.9G 3% 237G 232G 229G
```

Check utilization for node groups using label filters.
Example filter results only for nodes in availability zone us-west-2b `failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/zone=us-west-2b`:

```shell
kubectl view-utilization -l failure-domain.beta.kubernetes.io/zone=us-west-2b -h
Resource Req %R Lim %L Alloc Sched Free
CPU 14 64% 24 106% 22 8 0
Memory 30G 33% 47G 52% 89G 59G 42G
```

Overview of namespace utilization `kubectl view-utilization namespaces`

```shell
kubectl view-utilization namespaces -h
CPU Memory
Namespace Req Lim Req Lim
analitics 6.6 10 14G 21G
kube-system 3.5 4.2 5.1G 7.6G

Output to JSON format.

```shell
kubectl view-utilization -o json | jq
{
"CPU": {
"requested": 43740,
"limits": 71281,
"allocatable": 60800,
"schedulable": 17060,
"free": 0
},
"Memory": {
"requested": 94942265344,
"limits": 148056834048,
"allocatable": 254661525504,

}
}

## Simplify workflow with aliases

Add to your `~/.bash_profile` or `~/.zshrc`

```shell
alias kvu="kubectl view-utilization -h"
```

Now you can use `kvu` alias to quickly show resource usage

Example commands:

```shell
kvu
kvu namespaces
kvu -n kube-system
```
