Automatic Kubernetes workload resource adjuster

- **Ballast** is an open-source tool that automatically adjusts CPU and memory resource requests and limits for Kubernetes workloads based on actual usage data. - Kubernetes uses "requests" (minimum resources reserved for a container) and "limits" (maximum resources a container can use). Misconfiguring these leads to either wasted cluster capacity (over-provisioning) or instability (under-provisioning). - Most teams either set static values manually or use the Kubernetes Vertical Pod Autoscaler (VPA). Ballast claims to be a simpler, more predictable alternative that works by analyzing historical metrics and generating updated YAML configs. - This matters because cloud costs and application reliability in Kubernetes directly depend on getting resource sizing right. Automating this is a common pain point for DevOps and platform engineering teams.
