CPU% Busy Overhead - Average first 5 minutes only

This chart shows each tool’s CPU busy overhead percentage. After each tool’s starting, we measured each tool’s idle for 5 minutes. This chart was measured only after the start without deploying any pods.

start each local kubernetes tool
measure its cpu usage with cstat

NOTE: the benchmark environment uses GCE with nested virtualization. This may affect virtual machine’s overhead. https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/enable-nested-virtualization-vm-instances

CPU% Busy Overhead - With Auto Pause vs. Non Auto Pause

This chart shows each tool’s CPU busy overhead percentage with auto-pause addon. The auto-pause is mechanism which reduce CPU busy usage by pausing kube-apiserver. We compare CPU usage after deploying sample application (nginx deployment) to all tools (including minikube and other tools). This chart was measured with the following steps. By these steps, we compare CPU usage with auto-pause vs. non-auto-pause.
