vscode-gitops-tools
Weaveworks GitOps Extension (in the Visual Studio Code Marketplace) provides an intuitive way to manage, troubleshoot and operate your Kubernetes environment following the GitOps operating model, accelerating your development lifecycle and simplifying your continuous delivery pipelines.https://github.com/weaveworks/vscode-gitops-tools
stargz-snapshotter
Pulling image is one of the time-consuming steps in the container lifecycle. Research shows that time to take for pull operation accounts for 76% of container startup time[FAST '16]. Stargz Snapshotter is an implementation of snapshotter which aims to solve this problem by lazy pulling. Lazy pulling here means a container can run without waiting for the pull completion of the image and necessary chunks of the image are fetched on-demand.https://github.com/containerd/stargz-snapshotter
kubefire
KubeFire is to create and manage Kubernetes clusters running on FireCracker microVMs via weaveworks/ignite.https://github.com/innobead/kubefire

Vertical CPU Scaling: Reduce Cost of Capacity and Increase Reliability
This blog post describes the implementation of an automated vertical CPU scaling system in which every storage workload running at Uber is allocated the ideal amount of cores. The framework is used today to right-size more than 500,000 Docker containers, and since its inception it has applied a net reduction of allocations of more than 120,000 cores, leading to annual multi-million dollar savings in infrastructure spending.https://www.uber.com/blog/vertical-cpu-scaling/
