Why Use EMP

go-beyond-bin-icon-img

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-icon

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-icon

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.
