A structured optimization initiative by IAMOPS reduced GKE compute costs by 65% through workload rightsizing, pod density tuning, and node pool redesign. Guaranteed node count dropped by 70%, CPU utilization improved from under 10% to 35%, and autoscaler responsiveness increased, delivering a scalable, stable foundation for high-traffic gaming operations.
IAMOPS helped their client to cut GCP costs nearly in half by migrating workloads to Spot instances, automating non-production shutdowns, rightsizing Cloud SQL, and applying storage lifecycle policies—all while improving governance and efficiency.
