Kubernetes - Oversubscribed clusters recommendation

The Oversubscribed clusters recommendation identifies Kubernetes clusters that are oversubscribed. 

The following details are provided in the recommendation:

• Number of days that are remaining for the resources saturation
• Severity or Efficiency level of the recommendation. The thresholds for calculating the efficiency level is defined in the associated optimizer rule.
• Date when this recommendation is generated on. It is the date of the last run of the associated optimizer rule.
• Name of the associated optimizer rule
• Recommended actions to resolve the resource saturation
• Actions that you can perform on your recommendations. For details, see Managing the recommendations.
• Comparison between the current resource usage and trend and the estimated future usage after reconfiguring the system
• Criteria used for generating the recommendation
• Benefits of implementing the recommendation

A cluster is detected to be oversubscribed if the configured limit for resources (CPU, Memory) exceeds the total resources available by more than the threshold values: 

• CPU Overcommitment
• Memory Overcommitment

Overcommitment is the ratio of configured limit and the total resources available in the cluster expressed as a percentage. High overcommitment for CPU can cause the processer throttle and result in performance degradation. High overcommitment of memory can lead to performance degradation. You can change the default values of these thresholds on the Rules page in the Administration > Optimizer section.
