How can avoid over consumption in Azure cloud esp AKS ?

Over consumption is Azure Kubernetes services can lead to unnecessary costs and resource wastage if you are not leverage properly. here are some key things to avoid it.

1.Right size your cluster:

a. Optimise Node pools: use appropriate VM size for worker nodes based on work load requirements. do not go more than what is required.

b.Use Autoscaling feature to scale nodes up/down

c.Set requests & Limits: define CPU and memory requets/lmits for pods to prevent over allocation.

2.Optimise workload scaling

3.Enable Monitoring to see the optimise costs

4.Use managed AKS instead of Shared AKS

5.Use azure files or managed disk efficiently to optimise the storage

6.Cleanup unused resources. delete idle work loads, unused namespaces.
