Gerty

Appearance

Getting Started ​

Prerequisites ​

  • A Kubernetes cluster (1.27+) with managed node pools (EKS, GKE Standard, AKS)
  • Helm 3.x

INFO

Gerty v1 supports clusters with managed node pools. GKE Autopilot and AWS Fargate support is on the roadmap.

Install ​

bash
helm repo add gerty https://gerty-labs.github.io/gerty
helm install gerty gerty/gerty

Verify ​

Check that the agent and server pods are running:

bash
kubectl get pods -l app.kubernetes.io/name=gerty

You should see a gerty-agent pod on each node (DaemonSet) and one gerty-server pod.

First Report ​

Generate a cluster-wide efficiency report:

bash
gerty report

This shows waste metrics across all namespaces, with workload classification (steady, burstable, batch, idle) and potential savings.
