How can this help with my resource settings?

By using the kubernetes vertical-pod-autoscaler in recommendation mode, we can see a suggestion for resource requests on each of our apps. This tool creates a VPA for each workload in a namespace and then queries them for information.

Once your VPAs are in place, you'll see recommendations appear in the Goldilocks dashboard:

Notice: Registry Migration and Immutable Images (v4.14.19 → v4.15.0)

Starting with v4.15.0:

• Images moved to us-docker.pkg.dev/fairwinds-ops/oss/goldilocks
• quay.io/fairwinds/goldilocks is deprecated

Required action

- quay.io/fairwinds/goldilocks:<tag>
+ us-docker.pkg.dev/fairwinds-ops/oss/goldilocks:<tag>

Immutable and signed images

• Images are now signed
• Tags are immutable

• No more floating tags:

• v4

• v4.14
• latest

Use full version tags:

us-docker.pkg.dev/fairwinds-ops/oss/goldilocks:v<major>.<minor>.<patch>
