The HighNodeUtilization strategy provided by the Descheduler for Kubernetes is an essential tool for optimizing resource allocation in a Red Hat OpenShift cluster. This strategy helps ensure that nodes are utilized more efficiently, preventing resource wastage and promoting cost-effective infrastructure management. By implementing this strategy, OpenShift administrators can improve the overall performance and scalability of their applications.

Use Case: Optimizing Cluster Resource Usage
Background: In a typical OpenShift cluster, nodes might be underutilized due to uneven distribution of workloads. This underutilization can lead to unnecessary overhead costs for maintaining more nodes than required and can decrease the efficiency of resource usage.

DoD:

• new descheduler operator profile is introduced with predefined thresholds
