Methodology

Data source

This year, we expanded our analysis to also look into CPU and memory utilization, comparing provisioned, requested, and actual usage. We excluded clusters with fewer than 50 CPUs from our analysis – they’re too small to be included in a reliable data set.

Clusters analyzed

4,000+

Clusters with

50+ CPUs

Analysis based on 4k+ clusters with 50 CPUs or more.
Data gathered for the time period between Jan 1 and Dec 31, 2023.
Data from the three major cloud service providers: AWS, Azure, GCP.
