K8s GPU Clusters Waste 95% of Capacity — Top Teams Don’t

Production Kubernetes GPU clusters across AWS, GCP, and Azure average just 5% utilization — with CPU at 8% and memory at 20%. CPU overprovisioning jumped from 40% to 69% year over year. GPU prices are rising for the first time since 2006. The top-performing clusters sustain 49% GPU utilization, proving …

GPU Schedulers Waste 38% Time on Agent Cache Regeneration

Agent Cache Rebuilds Waste 38% GPU When researchers at the University of Hong Kong instrumented a 32-GPU A100 cluster running SWE-bench coding agents on vLLM v0.6.0, they found a number that should bother every platform engineer: 38% of total execution time was spent regenerating KV cache that had been discarded …

DRA Killed the GPU Device Plugin: K8s AI Scheduling in 2026

NVIDIA’s DRA Donation Ends GPU Blindness At KubeCon Europe 2026 in Amsterdam, NVIDIA killed the GPU device plugin model by donating its Dynamic Resource Allocation (DRA) driver for GPUs to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. That single act retires the device plugin that has made Kubernetes treat your H100 identically …
