Most websites use only a fraction of the CPU and memory assigned to them — yet businesses continue paying full price for underutilized servers. Kubernetes Overcommit changes that by letting you safely run more sites on the same hardware using intelligent request/limit guarantees and burstable workloads.

In this episode, we break down how Overcommit works, why it’s statistically safe, and how DevPanel implements it with noise isolation, autoscaling, and per-cluster controls. You’ll also learn how agencies and freelancers can dramatically improve margins, cut hosting costs by thousands per year, and align spending with real usage.

What You’ll Learn

  • Why 70–90% of your server resources sit idle
  • What Kubernetes “requests” and “limits” really mean
  • How burstable workloads allow safe Overcommit
  • Real-world density gains: 40 → 80 → 120 sites
  • How this directly translates into profit for agencies
  • Why DevPanel now supports Overcommit (and why it didn’t before)
  • The safe rollout model: autoscaling, isolation, optional per cluster
  • How to choose between 1×, 2×, and 3× Overcommit
