Maximize Infrastructure Utilisation While Maintaining Regulatory Compliance

Kubernetes fleets in financial services routinely run below 30% utilisation—a direct CAPEX drag driven by regulatory headroom, capacity reservations, and workload isolation requirements.

5-Spot, RBC Capital Markets' first open-source contribution and a FINOS-hosted project, reclaims that idle capacity by turning Cluster API (CAPI) into a spot-aware scheduling substrate, delivering measurable infrastructure savings at fleet scale.

Join us for a code-level deep dive led by the project's author. Attendees will deploy 5-Spot on a k0smotron managed cluster, classify spot-eligible workloads, and watch the scheduler redistribute capacity in real time. We will open the hood on the design decisions that matter for regulated environments: deterministic preemption windows, workload residency guarantees, graceful drain semantics, and CAPI reconciliation under continuous churn.
