Why Use EMP
Go beyond bin-packing. Maximize EKS cost savings
Because EMP optimizes at compute layer, it can go much further beyond simple bin-packing. By allocating only the resources your workers currently need, EMP maximizes utilization and minimizes costs.
No need to ‘right-size’ pod requests
EMP optimizes fully behind the scenes, without needing changes to pod request config. No need to convince developers to modify their app request config.
Rebalance & consolidate with ‘live-migration’
EMP can auto-rebalance and consolidate workloads by live-migrating the EVM workers behind the scenes.
This means zero pod disruption and no impact on workload SLA.
How EMP Works
EMP optimizes EKS utilization and cuts costs by deploying its own "Elastic Virtual Machines" on EC2 metal instances— all fully automated, behind the scenes, and using your AWS account.
