Apache Spark Optimization Myth: Instance Rightsizing

Cover Image

Instance rightsizing can reduce cloud costs but has limitations in optimizing Apache Spark applications. This white paper explores the challenges of relying solely on instance rightsizing:

  • Tools like Karpenter don't address inefficiencies within applications, such as overprovisioning or poorly written jobs, which are hard to fix at scale.

  • Real-time changes in application performance can make the initially chosen instance type suboptimal, leading to resource waste.

The paper argues that instance rightsizing is a partial solution, and additional strategies are needed to fully optimize Apache Spark in the cloud.
