K8sCalc

Infrastructure Calculators

Free calculators for Kubernetes, AI infrastructure, GPU hosting, storage planning, and more.

kubernetes

Kubernetes Cluster Cost Calculator

Calculate the monthly cost of running a Kubernetes cluster on Hetzner Cloud. Choose server types for control planes, workers, and load balancers with HA mode.

storage

Longhorn Storage Calculator

Calculate the total storage required for Longhorn distributed block storage, including replica overhead, snapshot retention, and S3 backup sizing on Hetzner Object Storage.

ai-gpu

AI Model VRAM Calculator

Calculate the GPU VRAM required to run any LLM locally or on cloud GPU. Supports all quantization levels — FP32, FP16, INT8, INT4, and GGUF variants.

ai-gpu

GPU Hosting Cost Calculator

Compare GPU cloud rental costs across RunPod, Lambda Labs, and Vast.ai. Calculate monthly spend for LLM inference, fine-tuning, and ML training workloads.

kubernetes

Kubernetes Node Sizing Calculator

Calculate the right number and size of Kubernetes worker nodes for your workloads. Supports Hetzner Cloud and Vultr with verified pricing.

kubernetes

k3s Resource Calculator

Calculate RAM and CPU requirements for a k3s cluster. k3s has 5–10× lower overhead than full Kubernetes — see exactly how much your server and agent nodes need.

kubernetes

Kubernetes Certificate Expiry Calculator

Calculate when your Kubernetes certificates expire and whether you need to renew them. kubeadm certificates are valid for 1 year — missing renewal breaks the cluster.

observability

Kubernetes Observability Stack Sizing Calculator

Size your Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, and Alertmanager stack. Calculate RAM, disk, and CPU requirements based on your cluster size and retention period.

kubernetes

etcd Backup Size Estimator

Estimate the size of etcd snapshots and monthly backup storage for your Kubernetes cluster. Plan S3 storage costs for etcd backup retention.

kubernetes

Kubernetes Upgrade Path Planner

Plan your Kubernetes upgrade path from any version to any version. Kubernetes only allows upgrading one minor version at a time — calculate the number of hops and total time estimate.

kubernetes

Kubernetes Autoscaler Threshold Calculator

Calculate the right HPA (Horizontal Pod Autoscaler) CPU and memory thresholds for your Kubernetes workloads. Get absolute target values in millicores and MiB.

kubernetes

Temporal Workflow Resource Calculator

Calculate Kubernetes resource requirements for a self-hosted Temporal workflow engine. Size the History, Matching, Frontend, and Worker services plus the PostgreSQL persistence layer.

observability

Prometheus Storage Calculator

Calculate Prometheus disk and RAM requirements based on active time series count, scrape interval, and retention period. Includes TSDB head, WAL, and chunk cache sizing.

observability

Loki Log Storage Calculator

Calculate Grafana Loki disk, S3 storage, and RAM requirements based on pod count, log rate, compression ratio, and retention period.

observability

Grafana Resource Sizing Calculator

Calculate Grafana RAM, CPU, and storage requirements based on dashboard count, concurrent users, alert rules, and data source count.

observability

Tempo Tracing Storage Calculator

Calculate Grafana Tempo or Jaeger distributed tracing storage requirements. Size disk, S3, and RAM based on spans/sec, bytes per span, sampling rate, and retention.

networking

Service Mesh Overhead Calculator

Calculate the RAM, CPU, and latency overhead of running Istio, Linkerd, or Cilium as a service mesh. Compare sidecar vs eBPF approaches per pod and cluster-wide.

networking

Cilium Resource Requirements Calculator

Calculate Cilium CNI agent RAM and CPU requirements per node. Includes Hubble observability overhead, WireGuard encryption, and BPF map memory for network policies.

networking

Kubernetes Bandwidth Estimator

Estimate internal pod-to-pod bandwidth, external egress, and recommended NIC size for your Kubernetes cluster. Accounts for service mesh overhead and Hetzner egress pricing.
